Before she could figure out how to respond, Briana butted in, “Cornelia, quit being glued to your phone and let’s chow down The food’s getting cold” Cornelia hastily stashed her phone, only to hear Briana ask, “Cornelia, who were you messaging just now? Why are your cheeks so red?” Touching her face instinctively, Cornelia replied. The room’s probably too hot. Plus, I just had a glass of booze” Marcus’s eyes were immediately drawn to Cornelia. Her skin was smooth and full of collagen, and her cheeks were flushed like ripe apples, looking utterly enticing His Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously and his mouth felt dry.
