Chapter 858
Iâm all set. Marcus whipped out his phone and made a quick call, and in no time, someone brought over a ginormous suitcase. The suitcase was crammed full of stuff, not just clothes but all his daily necessities. It almost seemed like he was planning to stay for quite a while.
Marcus opened up the suitcase and started to unpack. His cli t hes took up half of Comeliaâs wardrobe, and his toiletries took up half of her vanity table.
In just a few moments, though, the room seemed to have been taken over by him, as if heâd been living here for a long time.
Comelia was speechless.
After he was done unpacking Marcus picked out some clothes, âI need to take a shower.â
And off he went to the bathroom.
Before long, he emerged from the bathroom in his pajamas and returned to the room. He was utterly at ease, showing no signs of discomfort at being in someone elseâs
home
Cornelia was once again speechless. It felt like he was trying to turn her place into his home!
Marcus advised, âYou should take a shower too and get some rest. You have a busy day at work tomorrowâ
Tomorrow, Cornelia had to go to work. Plus, she was currently handling the most important project of the year, so she couldnât afford to make any mistakes.
Following his advice, Comelia picked up her clothes and went to take a shower. After her shower, she habitually hand washed her underwear. While washing her undies, she remembered that Marcus should have some dirty ones too.
But there were no clothes of his in the bathroom.
Did he wash his own underwear? That was a good habit.
When Cornelia came out of the shower and hung her underwear on the balcony, there was still no sign of Marcusâ clothes.
Did he not change his underwear?
Cornelia decided to go back to her room and ask him. Before entering her room, she glanced at Abigail and Zackâs doors, âWhat are you guys up to? If you want to peep, at least have the guts to do it openly.â
Abigail and Zack poked their heads out of their rooms, âWeâre not spying.â
Cornelia replied, âFine, I trust you.â
Abigail added, âThe soundproofing here isnât great, so you two better keep it down tonight.â
Cornelia was speechless. When she got back to her room, Marcus was already sprawled out on her bed. He was even flipping through her comic book, âYouâre into comics too?â
Cornelia replied, âYeah.â
Marcus asked, âDo you like guys like this?â
Cornelia was confused, âWhat?â
Marcus clarified, âThe male lead in this comic.â
Cornelia laughed, âOh, comic characters? I have a long list of likes⦠Do you know who my first favorite comic character was?â
Marcus was curious, âWho?â
Cornelia revealed, âA dog!â
Marcus was taken aback, âYou liked a dog!â
Cornelia affirmed, âYeah! A dog!â
Marcus was speechless.
He couldnât even compete with a dog!
It was at this moment that Cornelia remembered her earlier question, âI didnât see your clothes on the balcony, did you wash your underwear?â
