Without a doubt, Nathan was the mastermind behind this.
Lucinda sighed helplessly.
She aimed for a low profile, but she never anticipated that he would create such a spectacle about it.
âPlease convey my gratitude to the gentleman.
However, Iâll stick to my business class seat.
Iâve already paid for it.
â Waving her ticket to the flight attendant, she entered the cabin with confidence in her high heels.
The flight attendant, flushed with awkwardness, tried to interject, but Lucinda had already distanced herself.
Left with no alternatives, the attendant dialed the âmysterious gentlemanâ to update him.
In the vacant cabin, Lucinda identified her seat and settled in.
The night before had been exhausting.
Between revising the business proposal and Nathanâs relentless lovemaking, she hardly caught any sleep.

She needed to get some rest during the flight.
When she settled into her seat, she requested a blanket from the flight attendant.
Snuggling under the blanket, she turned off her phone and dozed off within moments.
Later, Lucinda sensed the plane lifting off, but she was so sleepy that she kept her eyes shut, drifting back into slumber.
That was untilâ¦
She sensed a warm breath gently brushing against her face, causing a tickling sensation.
âCut it out,â she said subconsciously and frowned.
Yet, she slowly roused from her slumber.
Nathan had reserved the entire plane.
She was the sole passenger.
So, why was there another person seated beside her?
Suddenly, her eyes widened in terror as a handsome yet familiar face appeared before her.
It was Nathan.
âWhat are you doing here?â
His lips curled into a smile.
âHoney, I just⦠Ouch!â
Lucinda gave his earlobe a firm pinch, remarking, âYou are a naughty boy, arenât you? Werenât you supposed to be watching Colby and Destinee? And abandoning all your duties to hop on this flight without a word to me?â
He wore a pained expression, but he didnât dare to evade.
He had to endure her wrath.
âEverything is arranged.
Kyson and Luisa will look after Colby and Destinee.
Sonny will manage the Payne familyâs matters, and Sonny and Larry will handle the National Security Bureauâs affairs.
Iâve got all the details sorted out.
Honey, please be gentle.
My ear is hurting.
Ellsworth will have his guys pick us up at the airport, and it would be embarrassing if they see my ear swollen.
