Cornelia was bunking in the other bedroom, a bit small with a single bed. It would be a squeeze for two, but she planned on having Patricia stay with her for the night. If Patricia found it too cramped, she could make use of the window daybed in the room, throw some quilts on it and turn it into a makeshift bed. Back in her student days, Cornelia loved doing her homework on the window daybed. Once done, she would clear her little table away and lie down for a rest.
As for Marcus, Cornelia thought she could either send him to a hotel or rig up a temporary bed for him in the study for the night. Of course, she would need to ask Marcus' opinion on that.
Just as she thought of Marcus, he showed up. Busy bee Marcus was always on the move, helping Cornelia with the bedding, adjusting the mattress, basically doing all the heavy lifting Cornelia couldn't manage.
Cornelia shared her plans with him, "I'm thinking Granny Luisa and Bri could stay in my grandma's room, Patricia and I in this one. We've only got two beds, so how about you head to a hotel for the night?"
Marcus replied, "How about Granny Luisa and Patricia stay in your grandma's room, Bri bunk with you, and I'll just crash on the floor in the study or living room."
Cornelia, "You're okay with crashing on the floor?"
Marcus, "Why wouldn't I be? I've done it for a month once."
Cornelia, "You're the CEO of the Hartley Group, always living a life of luxury. I didn't know you'd be okay with sleeping on the floor."
Marcus said, "There were times when the Hartley Group expanded into less developed countries, and living conditions were tougher than you'd imagine. Having a spot on the floor to sleep was a luxury."
