Zack was like, "I'm trying to have a serious convo with you, stop kidding around."
Cornelia replied, "Alright, I promise you guys, I'll take good care of myself."
They still had a lot to say, but the plane was about to take off, the flight attendant kept reminding everyone to switch to airplane mode, and Cornelia finally ended the call with them.
From Harbor City to Paris, it's about a thirteen-hour flight.
Long flights can wear people out, and once they landed in Paris, there was no time to rest, Cornelia started dealing with the aftermath with Marcus and others.
The company had lost nine employees, with seventeen injured, three of them critically, still in intensive care and their lives hanging by a thread. The families of those who died or were injured were falling apart, some even stirred up trouble at the company.
The Paris police had officially declared the incident as a terrorist attack orchestrated by a group that had rigged a car with explosives, carrying out a random act of violence. The fact that the terrorists responsible were still at large was causing immense fear and anxiety among the employees. The uncertainty of when or where the next attack might occur kept everyone on edge.
Although Cornelia was eager to assist, her lack of proficiency in French hindered direct communication with the locals. Therefore, Marcus assigned her to handle logistics while he, Ben, and the others dealt with frontline matters. The entire team was overwhelmed with their responsibilities, working tirelessly to address the situation.
Finally, after enduring ten demanding days, Cornelia reunited with Marcus and the rest of the team. Upon seeing Marcus again, she couldn't help but notice his noticeable weight loss and tired eyes.
