“Oh…”
She gave an uncertain laugh.
“Do you two know each other?”
My eyes briefly dropped toward the necklace around her throat.
Then I looked at her again.
“You could say that.”
My smile never changed.
“I’m the person who helped Adrian sign the most important contracts of his career.”
A pause.
“And I manage the corporate finances.”
Her expression shifted.
She still did not understand.
Not yet.
I stepped aside.
“Please follow me.”
I gestured toward First Class.
“Seats 2A and 2B.”
They walked past me.
Together.
Exactly as they had planned.
But neither of them understood one important thing.
Adrian thought he had brought his secret into my workplace.
He thought he still had control because he had hidden the truth from me.
What he did not understand was that he had placed himself on an aircraft where every record, every transaction, and every decision he had made could finally be traced.
Thirty thousand feet above the ground, I did not need screaming.
I did not need revenge through anger.
I only needed patience.
Because while Adrian believed he was flying toward another woman…
he was actually flying directly into the consequences of every lie he had told.
