At the international airport in Jadeborough, Jared and Flaxseed weaved through the crowd in casual clothes.
Shortly after, they boarded the plane. Since it was not the peak tourist season, few passengers were on board. Jared and Flaxseed took the first-class cabin. If it weren’t for fear of attracting too much attention, Jared would have taken a private jet instead.
Mere moments after the two men had taken their seats, a girl dressed stylishly in sunglasses with her hair cascading around her shoulders and a stunning figure strutted over.
With skinny jeans hugging her legs, she looked like an alpha female, turning heads everywhere she walked. Whipping off her sunglasses, she plopped right down beside Jared.
At that precise moment, her phone rang. She impatiently took it out and answered the call. Immediately, fluent Jetroinian flowed out of her mouth. Fortunately, Jared understood the language and knew what she was saying. Hmm, she’s probably irritated because her family is rushing her.
“I’ve already boarded the flight, and the plane will take off soon. Don’t call me anymore, for I’m going to turn off my phone now.” After the girl had said that, she put her phone on airplane mode straight away.
Soon, the plane took off. Jared closed his eyes in rest. Meanwhile, Flaxseed went to sleep without even sparing the girl beside them a glance. It would seem that the latter no longer had any interest in looking at other women after he had gotten together with Jessica. “Excuse me…”
As Jared had his eyes closed, the voice of the girl beside him drifted into his ears out of the blue. Opening his eyes, he turned to the girl in puzzlement. “I’m sorry to disturb you, but can you please open this for me?”
The girl held a bottle of chewing gum in her hand, likely unable to unscrew the cap. Smiling slightly, Jared twisted the cap of the bottle of chewing gum open before handing it back to her.
The girl thanked him fervently and took out a piece of chewing gum, holding it out to him. “Here, this is for you.” To her surprise, Jared did not turn it down but promptly tossed it into his mouth..
When she saw that he was planning to close his eyes and continue resting while chewing on the piece of gum, the look in her eyes as she regarded him changed drastically.
She began to grow curious about him. Usually, many men took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her. However, she had taken the first step with him, yet he was seemingly uninclined to talk with her.
That piqued the desire within her to get to know him. “Nice to meet you. I’m Yuri, a native of Jetroina, but I’ve been studying here. Where are you from?” The girl, Yuri, put that question to Jared beamingly.
“I’m Jared Chance, a local here,” Jared replied placidly. “Are you going to Jetroina for a vacation, then? I don’t think it’s the best season to do so. though,” Yuri queried softly, inching closer to the man. “I’m going over to handle some business, not to have fun.”
Jared shook his head before closing his eyes once more. At that, it did not seem appropriate for Yuri to talk to him anymore, so she could only sit back in her seat in boredom.
After flying for several hours, the plane landed. in Xendale, Jetroina. Jared stood up and disembarked the plane with Flaxseed. Yuri followed closely behind them.
“Do you have a friend coming over to pick you up, Jared? If you don’t, I can have my driver give you a ride,” Yuri offered. “Thank you, but someone is coming to pick us up,” Jared declined with a faint smile before heading out of the airport.
Right then, several luxurious cars were parked in a row outside the airport, giving off the vibe that a prominent figure was on the flight. The instant Jared, Flaxseed, and Yuri came out, a dozen bodyguards in suits and sunglasses closed in on them.
A frown marred Jared’s countenance, and the energy within him began surging forth. He was convinced that his movements had been leaked out and the Watanabe family had sent men to intercept him after learning that he was coming to Jetroina. Unexpectedly, the bodyguards did not even spare him a look. They swiftly surrounded Yuri and escorted her out of the airport.
