Chapter 207
The flight attendant's cheeks took on a bright pink hue. Even her voice sounded much gentler.
"Dearest passenger, we're about to take off, so that man shouldn't be standing up now as it will affect
the take-off procedures. That's why I lectured him. My actions also make the overall flight smoother for
passengers like you."
Her intentionally honeyed tone sounded like nails scratching against a chalkboard in Darius’ ears. He
was not impressed and could discern the woman's nature, as well as what she was thinking of at the
moment.
"I don't care what your thought processes is," Darius said, "But I hope that you won’t cause me any
more displeasure in the journey ahead."
The flight attendant's face turned pale, unable to accept what Darius said. It was shocking to her that
Darius, a gentleman from top to bottom, could utter such harsh words. She stood rooted to her spot for
the longest time before the in-flight announcement stated they would be taking off soon.
Nonetheless, she ignored it.
Her pointed gaze snapped toward Darius as she gritted her teeth, hatred gushing from her every pore.
She seethed,
"Don't you know who I am? How dare you speak that way to me? Do you seriously think I'm just an
ordinary flight attendant?" 2
Darius reached up to massage his temples and responded, "Firstly, you're too loud. Secondly, your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtuniform tells me you're exactly that-an ordinary flight attendant. Thirdly, get seated because the
announcement says we're taking off shortly. You shouldn’t stand now."
The flight attendant completely ignored Darius. All her attention was on the second argument Darius
raised, and she growled,
"Let me make this clear. I'm no ordinary flight attendant! My dad owns this airline company!"
"Is that so?" Darius raised a brow. "I got into an argument with your mother, Elizabeth, earlier when
waiting to board."
He then leaned back into his seat, shaking his head while scoffing at the flight attendant. "Now,
Elizabeth's daughter has jumped out of nowhere and has inappropriate thoughts about me, even after
I've clearly rejected her advances."
The flight attendant’s eyes grew wide. Likewise, her voice sharpened like a blade, piercing the air.
"Enough! That woman isn't my mother! She has no right to be anyone's mother! She's merely my dad's
lover!"
Unperturbed by the situation, Darius asked, "Aren’t you going to return to your seat so that this flight
can take off?"
Silence filled the entire cabin as all passengers looked at the flight attendant.
The passengers would not have kept quiet if it were any other flight attendant delaying things. They
would have yelled and reported her for causing trouble. However, this specific flight attendant claimed
to be the daughter of the airline's owner. That meant she was the future owner of the airline-someone
they could not afford to cross.
Thus, everyone clamped their lips shut. No one spoke except for the captain's anxious voice behind the
in-flight speakers, questioning,
"Kate Anderson, are you on the intercom system now? Just answer this— are you seated, and have
you fastened your seatbelt?"
No one responded to him.
The captain’s frustrated tone rang out again. "Kate! Are you listening to me now? Are you encountering
any trouble? Do you need assistance?"
At that moment, Kate stood before Darius, hands on her waist as her breathing deepened. She fixated
on Darius with a predator's smugness and determination. Then, she spoke loudly.
"I won't leave until you admit you've underestimated my role. This plane won't fly unless I get seated.
Should you choose to stick with your stance, this flight will get delayed no matter what you do. You'll
never get to Almiron City on time.”
Darius raised a finger to massage his temple. He never imagined it would be this difficult for him to
travel to Almiron City. It seemed like all the incidents leading to this hinted his trip to the city would yield
a negative outcome.
He let out a deep sigh, which prevented him from raging on the plane. Still, his eyes narrowed like
frosty blades at Kate.
"You claim your father owns this airline, yet you don't know who I am," he stated with a deep voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was when Kate realized the mockery lingering in his tone.
Her eyes widened as rage filled her gaze.
"Darius Reid! I've made my identity clear at this point. This airline company is mine! I can provide you
with boundless wealth, one that’s beyond your ability to earn, if you agree to be my boyfriend. Also, you
should feel
honored that I'm showing interest in you instead of the many other men in this world."
Following that, Darius raised his hand and gazed at the front and back of it, casually stating, "I’ve never
disliked a woman so much in my life."
She blushed, feeling humiliated by her current state. Thus, she shot to her feet and pointed a trembling
finger at Darius.
"Wait and see, Darius Reid! Thanks to your actions, you're banned from taking any of our airline's
flights. It’s a price you'll have to pay for what you did to me."
Kate clambered over to the intercom system, grabbed the handheld transceiver, and spoke while
smirking at Darius. "Captain? It's Kate here. I order you to stop the plane and remove Darius Reid,
along with his group of friends, from this flight! Also, inform our airline company to ban these guys from
purchasing another flight ticket from us! Those orders are finite until Darius complies with my wishes!"
With that, she hung up the intercom system and stood proudly with her hands on her waist.
It was then that the airplane's door opened.
Darius' brow quirked upon seeing that. He did not feel the door had opened because of the mindless
woman before him.
