Chapter 68
Madison stood frozen in shock.
Was the treatment always this good?
With other airlines, a passenger’s complaints would often lead to nothing more than a few grumbles. The staff might apologize, and that would be the end of it.
The male passenger looked a bit embarrassed by the situation.
Nearby passengers chimed in, “They’ve given you face, so let it go. ou say on the phone earlier about going to karaoke after the What’s the rush?”
ed.”
hot-headed man spoke up, “Aren’t you afraid it’ll be you in
uble next time? Can’t you be a bit more accommodating? The captain personally apologized to you, gave you a membership card, and even a small gift. What more do you want?”
Red-faced, the male passenger bowed his head, no longer daring to make a sound.
Madison quickly said, “Thank you everyone for your support of our work, much appreciated!”
“Don’t mention it! We all saw you kneeling on the floor to save someone. Don’t mind the few nuisances!”
“Exactly! Mukino Airlines is great, and I’ll definitely fly with Mukino from now on!”
Madison disembarked amidst a chorus of praises.
A diversion landing didn’t require all passengers to deplane, just a
wait until the local control tower gave the signal to proceed.
As Madison inspected the plane for any issues, a staff member
called her over.
“What’s up?”
S She had barely finished her question when a figure appeared beside heher.
Et Ethan was dressed in a dark brown suit today, looking particularly gegentlemanly. Concern was evident in his eyes, “Are you okay?”
Hele had just landed in Hesu and heard that a Mukino Airlines jet madede an emergency landing there. Upon inquiring, he found out it was is Madison’s flight.
Learnining that someone on the plane had accused Madison, Ethan sent a heasap of gifts over.
It wasn’t thahat the matter was troublesome; these incidents could happen any dada. But if that passenger complained about Madison, it could directly at affect her chances of competing for the Airbus A380 pilot qualificationon.
Ethan leaned forwavard a bit, “Has anyone bullied you?”
Madison knew he waves in Hesu city but hadn’t expected him at the airport.
“Is your flight delayed?”?”
“No.” Ethan took her wrist, leddading her to the VIP lounge, “I asked you, did anyone bully you?”??
“No.” Madison arched an eyebroww, Do I look that weak to you?”
“Yes.”
Michael and William, who were accompanying them, could hardly keep their composure.
Couldn’t you be a bit more tactful?!
Yet, surprisingly, Madison didn’t get angry at Ethan’s blunt answer. Instead, she laughed, “President Grant is quite honest.”
Ethan’s features softened, the frosty demeanor melting away as the corners of his eyes lifted gently, his gaze filling with a teasing allure, like a siren that could devour a man whole.
“So, is there a reward?”
He was close, his masculine cologne wafting over, causing Madison’s heartbeat to skip.
But she didn’t retreat. A competitive spirit urged her to meet his advancing gaze.
Only Ethan saw the subtle enchantment in Madison’s eyes bending into a seductive curve. She smiled gently, “There is.”
Ethan was clearly taken aback.
In the past, such teasing would make her uncomfortable, even angry, telling him to behave. But today…
In the moment of distraction, Ethan’s lashes quivered.
William, noticing, swiftly turned Michael around, who had been staring intently.
WWhat are you looking at!
BBy the couch, Madison leaned forward, her lips mere inches from Ethnan’s. If either spoke, it seemed as if their lips might touch.
Ethan didn’t move.
Madison faced him, her gaze landing on his lips, a mischievous glint in her eyes, “Would it be okay to kiss you?”
Boom-
Ethan’s mind exploded with the suggestion.
His breathing erratic, he stared at the smiling woman before him.
Madison raised her eyebrows, “Not willing? Then forget it… How about I treat President Grant to dinner after we return to Slandon Port? My colleagues are waiting; I should go.”
She stood up with a smile and waved to the two at the door,” Goodbye.”
William responded with an enthusiastic smile, “Captain Madison, goodbye!”
Back in the lounge.
As the two men returned, Ethan was still in a daze.
Michael waved in front of his face.
Ethan suddenly exhaled sharply and yanked at his tie, cursing, “F***…
Michael was stunned.
The man stood up and left abruptly
Was this…
Confused by the flirtation, regretting his lack of response?
Elsewhere.
Madison, now regrouped with Jessica and others, wore a light smile.
Out of sight, the playfulness in her eyes faded.
Ethan had teased her many times. This time, she had played him in return, hence her cheerful mood.
She had to report at Hesu airport and prepare to continue flying to Nianzhou. She couldn’t delay too long and inconvenience the
passengers.
Half the day passed.
Ethan was finally done with his tasks, but the image of Madison playfully approaching him kept flashing in his mind.
This woman…..
Quite a player, isn’t she?
“Can you snap out of it already?” Michael spoke, “Your illegitimate younger brother has moved into your house, and your dad wants you!
to come home for dinner.”
Ethan didn’t respond.
Michael rambled on, “Your dad really couldn’t care less, huh? Every time I see his bastard son, I think he has no aspirations in life.”
William puzzled, “What does that have to do with it?”
Michael, with a cup in hand and the car window ajar, was about to spit out the goji berries he was chewing through the open window. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Hearing those spitting sounds, Ethan, already irritated, snapped, ” Can you stop that? You think you’re a goji berry shooter?”
Michael, scolded, lashed out at William in the passenger seat, “If his dad had any aspirations, his bastard son wouldn’t look like a damn. alpaca!”
William, caught off guard by the sudden yelling, wasn’t angry but confused, “How does that bastard son resemble an alpaca?”
“He’s changed his hairstyle, probably celebrating finally moving into the Grant family mansion. Got himself an explosive hairdo and a slanted fringe. Ha! Looks like a monster that crawled out of some
emo graveyard, hilarious.”
Listening to Michael’s ranting, Ethan felt some of the irritation dissipate.
He opened WeChat and sent a message to Madison.
Madison saw the message after arriving in Nianzhou.
President Grant: Have you confirmed your return flight?
Madison: What’s up?
President Grant: I’ll wait for your plane. I want you to take me home with you.
Isn’t this petulance a bit sudden?
