NovelFinishChapter 27 Menu "I already called a ride-share." "Just cancel it." Gary got out, taking my suitcase without asking, placing it in the trunk. If it weren't for the luxury car, passersby might have thought I was being robbed. He opened the car door for me."Con, don't be shy. It's on the Way, His enthusiasm embarrassed me; a grown man opening my car door. After thanking him, I got in. Evan was sitting on the other side.
He wasn't formally dressed today—a light blue shirt, black pants, black shoes, no tie, but dazzling cufflinks; bathed in the bluish light filtering through the window, he exuded a clean, sharp elegance, remindingof an ice-blue flower at the highest altitude... a regal aura that created distance.
"Good morning," I greeted him, smoothing down my coat. The distance was considerable, but I felt safer the further away I was.
He nodded slightly, his expression impassive, like a polite monarch acknowledging a loyal subject. I pursed my lips. Okay. Gentle and humble was his mask; cold and aloof was his true nature. But born with a silver spoon, a little arrogance was expected; his character was still good. The savior filter made his flaws infinitely forgivable. The car started; I canceled the ride-share, paying a small cancellation fee and checking the driver's number. It wasn't the snumber...
The original number called again; this time, I hung up without hesitation.

I instinctively turned. "Yes." "Where to?" "Iceland." He must be bored to ask such details.
I thought the conversation was over, but he continued, "So far." "...Ah, yes, very far." I nodded in agreement, thinking: You're a wealthy kid who's studied abroad since childhood; this unsophisticated remark is so out of place! "Was this trip planned long ago, or is it spontaneous?" His tone was casual, even friendly.
I readily replied, "It's been planned for a while..." I stopped abruptly, remembering my recent job application... A woman with pre-planned travel plans applying for a job... My face flushed with embarrassment; I pleaded with him not to remember.
But the friendly air around him vanished, suggesting he "did" remember! No! He'd set a trap! Adding fuel to the fire, Zach said, "So, Ms. Frost, you've given up on the job?" ...!! I wanted to kneel. Embarrassed and aggrieved, I whispered, "If the job interview had been successful, I would've canceled the trip. Mr. Jones rejected me." That had been my plan; a relaxing trip was necessary, but if I'd landed the chief of staff position, I'd have adjusted my plans.
"What if I changed my mind?" His tone was calm, his expression serious.
I felt a surge of panic."You mean... I got the job?" Now? As I was about to leave for my trip? He didn't answer but smirked playfully."Aren't you going on a trip?" I haven't even left yet!! "The trip can be canceled; I can start immediately." I sat straighter; I couldn't miss this chance.
"Immediately?" AC 18.2% < Chapter 27 "Immediately!" I was certain.
"I just meant Iceland is far." His smile widened; he exchanged a glance with Zach.
that Menu Said."Ms. Frost, it's wonderful you can start today. Once we're on the plane, I can explain the details of your first business trip." I was a little dazed. I'd hitched a ride and landed a job. Although surreal, I quickly adjusted. “Okay, we still have tbefore the airport. Perhaps you could sendthe itinerary?" Zach chuckled."No need to rush." I nodded.
My phone, on silent, rang repeatedly. It was Sherry. I answered. "Sherry." "Julian found out about your flight; he's heading to the airport." She yelled anxiously.
"He's gone crazy, Olivia. Turn back; find somewhere to hide." "Mm, letthink." I rubbed my temples.

Hanging up, I looked out the window, my mood put feeling the chill of a late autumn rain-sadness and powerlessness.
The car was silent; everyone had heard my conversation with Sherry.
Evan remained silent. Gary feeling sympathy, Said, "Don't worry; the boss has a private jet; we can drive directly onto the tarmac; he won't find you." My face brightened. I hadn't thought of that; I was now traveling with the heir! Evan glanced at me."Olivia Frost, you're quite resourceful."
Julian didn't findat the airport; he couldn't find my flight information.
Thinking I hadn't boarded, he left, unaware I was already on Evan'sn was spacious and comfortable, the temperature perfect, with a pleasant fragrance. During takeoff, the momentary weightlessness felt like cold hands. gripping my heart. I approached the window, gazing at the terminal below, imagining Julian's rage...

My appetite was poor; I ate a little, then stared at the clouds.
