Lysander asked, “Did the person who switched places with you mention why they did it?”

The middle–aged man chuckled as he reminisced, “That young man didn’t really provide a reason. He just straight up asked if I was willing to switch seats with him for a while. I noticed his boarding pass was for first class. He assured me it was fine, so I went ahead and swapped with him.”

Josiah was indeed lucky, for he had encountered one who didn’t pry too deeply for this change of seats.

Lysander seemed lost in thought as she quietly remained seated even after the plane had landed. Unlike the other passengers who were quick to stand up the moment the cabin door opened, she chose to wait until almost everyone had disembarked before leisurely following behind.

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but glance around, truly not wanting to run into Josiah again. Although it was inevitable to meet him at the summit, she preferred to delay such encounters as much as possible.

Just then, a flight attendant happened to walk by.

Lysander asked, “Could you tell me, has everyone from the first class cabin disembarked yet?”

The flight attendant was puzzled, but she dutifully addressed the passenger’s query. “The first class passengers have already left on the shuttle bus.”

“Thank you.” Lysander visibly sighed in relief, for the first time ever, feeling grateful for the disparity in services on both sides.

The passengers in economy class did not receive any particular service and had to collect their checked luggage from the carousel themselves.

Lysander intentionally lingered for quite a while before she finally left the terminal to hail a taxi.

Then, at the moment she turned around with her suitcase, she saw her old adversary again.

Josiah stood tall and elegant next to a business vehicle, with one hand casually tucked in his pocket. His brows were slightly furrowed, though it was unclear whether he was growing impatient from waiting or was simply in a bad mood.

Tiffany was the first to spot her. She greeted Lysander with a surprised delight. “Lysa, what a coincidence! Did you also take this flight? I didn’t even notice you on the plane.”

Lysander had no choice but to brace herself and walk over. “I’m in economy class.”

“Why did you go to economy class alone? You should have joined us. Jose, why didn’t you ask? If we knew earlier that Lysa was coming with us, we should have booked seats together. It was so boring on the plane. We could have chatted.”

Josiah glanced at her. “Hmm, you should have asked next time.

Tiffany was still elated. “But it’s quite a coincidence. Out of the numerous daily flights to Apex City, we ended up on the same one!”

Josiah casually remarked, “It’s only normal. We’re all attending the saine summit after all

I study classical literature and arts, so I don’t understand any of this. What’s the point of me being here? But now that you’re here, Lysa, I finally have some company!”

Lysander hesitated, then simply responded with a noncommittal “Hmm.”

Tiffany had always harbored a fondness for her and said in a concerned tone, “Why are you still wearing a mask? Your voice doesn’t sound quite right either. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Lysander found an opportunity to distance herself and exaggeratedly said, “I’ve caught the flu. You all should stay away from me. It wouldn’t be good if you caught it too.”

Josiah shot her a wordless glance.

Upon hearing Lysander’s words, Tiffany surprisingly didn’t flinch, but continued to hold her, saying, “Lysa, you need to rest well. I heard the summit schedule is packed. What if it worsens your condition? I’ve already booked a hotel with Josiah, so let’s stay there together.”

Lysander quickly assured, “No need. Doesn’t the summit host provide accommodations? I’ll just take a cab to the address listed on the invitation.”

At the very least, there was no need to spend money.

Finding a hotel was a different story altogether, and any hotel that could accommodate Josiah was bound to be expensive.

She was quite broke at that time.

Just as Lysander was about to bid them farewell and take her leave, she heard Tiffany speak up again. “But the hotel arranged by the host is quite far from the venue. The one Jose booked is much closer. Let’s stick together,” she suggested.

“No, I’ve already called a taxi.”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Josiah silently picked up Lysander’s luggage and placed it in the trunk of the car. Then, without missing a beat, he said, “Get in the car. We can’t afford to waste time.”

Upon seeing that Josiah had already carried Lysander’s luggage, Tiffany flashed him a sweet smile. Clinging onto Lysander’s hand, she refused to let go and playfully said, “Lysa, let’s get going. We can’t park here for too long.”

The traffic at Apex City’s airport was heavy, with cars already stacking up impatiently behind, honking their horns incessantly.

Tiffany urged, “Hurry up, Lysa. We should get going. We don’t want to hold up the people behind us,”

“All right, then.” Having no other choice, Lysander reluctantly joined her in the back seat.

Josiah was seated in the passenger seat, casting a seemingly nonchalant glance at them. He then instructed the driver, “Let’s go.”

The car drove toward the hotel. Tiffany was the only one chattering away, as cheerful as a songbird, about matters related to the summit. Lysander would occasionally chime in with a few words, while Jonah remained silent throughout the journey.

They arrived at the place quite quickly.

As Lysander stepped out of the car, she casually asked Tiffany, “Did you used to visit Apex City often?”

“I’ve only been here a few times,” said Tiffany. She was lively by nature, but somewhat shy, and would never venture out alone for fun. A faint blush spread across her face as she quietly confided, “Jose is the one who chose the hotel. He’s got a lot of experience with business trips.”

Well, there’s no need to ask anything more.

Unfazed, Josiah pulled his car to a stop facing west. He then got out and unloaded the luggage belonging to the three of them. Taking the lead, he strode into the hotel’s grand entrance, leaving the luggage to be handled by the dedicated hotel staff.

“Let’s go in, Lysa,” Tiffany suggested.

“Okay.”

The hotel that Josiah had booked was superior in both standards and comfort compared to what the summit host had provided. Naturally, it was highly sought after. The front desk staff, upon noticing an extra person than what was initially mentioned in their reservation, couldn’t help but feel a bit perplexed.

“Here’s the situation, Mr. Guerra, apart from the two rooms you’ve booked, we don’t have any extra rooms available. Would you like to reconsider your arrangements?”

The receptionist held the room key in her hand, somewhat unsure of how to distribute it.

This uncommon trio of two women and one man was indeed a rare sight.

Lysander, however, didn’t believe that Josiah had the foresight to anticipate even this. She quickly began searching for other nearby hotels on her phone.

At this point, Tiffany had already made up her mind. She took the initiative to approach Josiah. “Jose, how about we share a room? Lysa isn’t feeling well, so wouldn’t it be better to let her have a room to herself to rest?”

It was indeed embarrassing for her to initiate such a conversation, and as she continued, her voice gradually became softer.

Josiah cast a glance at Lysander.

Lysander also glanced back.

Your girlfriend invited you to move in together, so why are you looking at me?

“I should look for another hotel,” Lysander said.

“No need,” said Josiah. “Let’s just do as Tiffany suggested.”

Lysander looked at Josiah with a hint of doubt, noticing that he had already completed the paperwork and was heading toward the elevator
