The flight from Riverton to Woodpine took no more than three hours, touching down at Woodpine at two in the morning.
The temperature swung in Woodpine were a real bear. And Cornelia, underdressed as she was, started feeling the chill immediately after getting off the plane, which even kicked out her sleepiness.
Cornelia followed the crowd towards the airport exit when suddenly, a familiar male voice came from behind her, "Ms. Stewart? Is that you?"
Turning around, Cornelia saw Steven, tall and upright with a smile on his face. His assistant was also behind him, both of them focusing their attention on Cornelia.
Cornelia looked up at the flight information board on the wall, there was a flight that had just landed from Harbor City to Woodpine, "President Dixon, what a coincidence. What brings you here?"
"Hannah is filming here, I came to visit her." Steven looked around, but didn't see who he wanted to see, "How come you're here alone? Didn't Marc come with you?"
This sentence sounded a bit suggestive. Cornelia quickly clarified her relationship with Marcus, "I'm on vacation, not here for work. President Hartley is my boss, so it's unlikely for him to accompany me here."
Steven smiled, opened up Marcus's WhatsApp on his phone: [Marcus, your wife is in Woodpine all by herself. Are you aware?]
After the message was sent. Steven waited for a while, but didn't get a reply from Marcus. He tried to call, but the other party had already turned off their phone.
Marcus was a workaholic. His personal and work phones were always on, only turning them off under special circumstances. Steven guessed that Marcus might be on his way to Woodpine.
He laughed, "Ms. Stewart, did Marcus do something to piss you off and you came to Woodpine to blow off some steam? Tell me how he hurt you, and I'll give him a piece of my mind."
Her main reason for this visit was to spend time with Hannah, but unfortunately bumped into Steven. Steven was very possessive; he would never give her and Hannah alone time. So she felt like this trip was a waste.
Watching Cornelia's retreating figure, Steven said to his assistant, "Follow her, see which hotel she checks into."
Marcus had upset his wife and she had left; he must be looking for her everywhere. At this point, if he told Marcus about Cornelia's whereabouts, he could get some benefits out of him.
After leaving the airport, Cornelia hailed a cab and headed straight for downtown. She was planning to stay there for a couple of days and go find Hannah after Steven left Woodpine.
Woodpine was a tourist city. The tourism industry was booming, with many visitors every year. During the peak season, the prices of the better hotels could multiply several times and it might even be impossible to book a room.
