Chapter 1086
Cornelia wasn't slacking off either. The fire was a real blaze, not something she could put out in a jiffy. By the time the fire was out, everyone who had been fighting it would probably be beat.
She found a nearby convenience store, buying a bunch of water and stuff like chocolates and bread that could perk them up pretty quick. She couldn't directly fight the fire so she decided to do the grunt work.
The fire was massive and didn't die down until the wee hours of the morning.
Everyone who'd been fighting the fire was wiped out. Cornelia handed out water and food to everyone, helping them get their strength back. Once everything was sorted, Cornelia grabbed a bottle of water and a couple of chocolates, and started looking for Marcus in the crowd.
She did a lap but couldn't find Marcus. Cornelia was a bit on edge and asked a guy near her, "Have you seen Marcus?"
He replied, "You looking for President Hartley?"
He pointed to the left, "He should be over there."
“Thanks.” After thanking him, Cornelia went in the direction he pointed.
After wading through the crowd, Cornelia finally found Marcus at the ruins, covered in dust.
Marcus was usually a clean freak, always immaculate. This was the first time Cornelia saw him looking like a dust bunny. She walked up to him right away, giving him the water and chocolates, "Drink some water first, then chow down on these chocolates to get your energy back."
She pulled out a wet wipe from her pocket, wanting to help him clean his face, "Your face is all dirty. Let me clean it up for you."
But Marcus suddenly rubbed his face against hers, really going for it.
