Chapter 511
Natalia asked, “Can I leave now?”
Zavier replied, “Of course!”
As Natalia stood up, she realized her legs were too weak to hold her up.
Zamer had someone escort her out
After Natalia left, the man who had just played Marcus finished removing his makeup. He looked respectfully at Zavier, Mr. Rivera, I’m heading out.”
Zavier nodded. “Your sisters makeup skills are top–notch. We’ll need you guys in the future, so don’t let your skills get rusty”
“I understand‘ The man respectfully withdrew without saying another word.
Once the man had left, Zavier lit another cigarette, took a few hard puffs, then laughed, ‘Marc, why are you so stubborn? If you had given Skyler back to me, Cornelia wouldn’t have misunderstood you. Now I’m curious, how are you going to convince Cornelia that nothing happened between you and Natalia?”
When Cornelia returned home, Zack and Abigail were having breakfast. They were surprised to see her back.
Almost simultaneously, Zack and Abigail asked, “You came home so late last night, weren’t you going to sleep in today before going to Southern Peak? Where did you run off to this early?”
Cornelia opened her mouth to explain her morning, but decided against it, “Marcus got drunk, and I picked him up”
Zack started nagging “Once our studio is doing better, you should quit this job that gives you no personal time and focus on your comics.”
As he spoke. Zack served Cornelia a bowl of oatmeal for her, showing his care in his own way.
Comelia nodded, “I’ll consider it.”
Abigail asked, “Nelly, how did you suddenly come to this decision?”
Cornelia replied, “Once our studio’s income increases and my comics can cover my mortgage, I won’t push myself so hard.”
Zack joked, “You’re such a money grubber. It all comes down to whether it makes money or not.”
Cornelia laughed, “Being a money grubber is more practical than being a hopeless romantic, right?”
Zack said, “True”
Abigail said, “I suspect you guys are hinting at me.”
Cornelia asked, “Are you a hopeless romantic?”
Abigail answered, “Am I? I don’t think so. I like all good–looking guys, not just one.”
