In other words, Cordy’s face mask was still in Lucas’s room.
She made it a habit to use one every night—she was 29, and had to do some upkeep.
At the thought that Lucas was going to give her a telling off if she went to get it now, she simply gave up.
Seeing that it was too late for deliveries, she simply got in bed to sleep.
It had been a busy day, and exhaustion seized her as she lay down.
She probably wouldn’t need sleeping pills either…
But as she started to doze off, she was jolted awake by an abrupt knock on her door, which made her jump awake.
It was so difficult for her to get some natural sleep!
Who the hell was that?!
Furious, she threw off her blanket and got out of bed, her hair a mess as she opened the door violently.
Lucas stood outside her door, his bathrobe loosely draped over his shoulders and baring his chest.
His hair was dripping wet, and he was almost soaked through.
"What are you doing, dressed like that in the middle of the night?" Cordy demanded, annoyed.
"Watch your attitude, Miss Sachs! I was kind enough to bring your face mask!" Lucas said as he held out the box of face masks to her.
It actually did seem that he noticed her box of face masks after he showered, and had brought it all the way here for her.
Was he really capable of being nice? She somehow doubted that, and even had the nagging feeling that he was up to no good.
However, Lucas noticed the judgemental look in her eyes. His temper flared right then. "Well, do you want it? Or should I throw it instead?!"
It seemed she had caught a cold after being exposed to the icy breeze outdoors last night.
She didn’t take notice, however, and simply washed up before answering Sean's call.
"I'm outside your hotel right now. Should I come upstairs to get you, or wait for you downstairs?" Sean asked.
"Just wait for me. I'll be right downstairs."
"There's no rush. Take your time."
Cordy hung up, and dropped to her crouch before her suitcase to find some light clothes.
Most were thin autumn clothes, but she didn’t usually wear layers since the place she went had heaters.
It might have been her cold, but she was feeling a little chilly.
