    Chapter 0005


    The next day, at ten o’clock in the morning.


    Madison is dressed simply in a white tee, capri jeans, white ts, a high ponytail, and a touch of


    lipstick to enhance herplexion while carrying a in backpack.


    Following the location Jessica gave her, she arrives at a floor in Mokino International. Only when


    she gets there does she notice several others who seem to also be there for an interview.


    All of them are pilots, but female pilots are quite rare, whether domestically or internationally.


    As Madison takes a seat, a few men in the chairs across from her


    steal nces, struck by her but not thinking much of it…


    They don’t suspect her of being there to interview for the pilot position, could she be a flight


    attendant?


    Her height, figure, and facial features make her a usible fit for an international flight attendant.


    Pilots keep entering for their interviews, each looking quite tense.


    “Good morning, Captain Vee.”


    At this, a woman in a white blouse and business attire with short hair appears. Her chest bears the


    exclusive logo of Mokino International, and the stripes on her epaulettes are particrly striking,


    symbolizing her status as a captain, her demeanor resolute and spirited.


    Her appearance makes the office staff exceptionally politè.


    Madison fixes her gaze on the ID badge that signifies a pilot, a trace of envy gleaming in her eyes.


    She used to be just like that.


    +25 BONUS


    After the woman walks past, the others begin discussing in a flurry.


    “Is she the only female captain at Mokino International?”


    “Not just the only female captain, but also the only female pilot.


    Mokino International does not recruit female pilots. She’s the only one here.”


    “No wonder shees off so arrogant.”


    “Wouldn’t you be arrogant if you were in her position?”


    They don’t hire female pilots?


    Madison frowns.


    “Madison?” From the doorway of the interview room, William steps out to call for her.


    Madison snaps back from her thoughts and rises, “Yes?”


    The surrounding crowd simultaneously gasps, disbelief written on their faces.


    A woman?!


    Fo


    erview?!!!


    does feel a bit nervous, but once she steps into the interview and sees the giant model airne


    disyed in front of the floor- ceiling window, her anxiety dissipates instantly.


    Her inner peace is akin to that of returning to familiar grounds, after all, this is her field of expertise.


    The door closes, and Madison takes a seat in the interviewee’s chair.


    +25 BONUS


    The interviewer first nces at the man at the far left, then turns to her resume, “Graduated from


    First Flight Academy?”


    “Yes.”


    “When did you start learning to fly?”


    Madison answers, “In high school.”


    “First flight at 19?” the interviewer asks.


    “Yes.”


    Seeing this woman’s resume, the interviewer is somewhat surprised, even doubting the authenticity


    of it, because for her age of 25, this resume seems too perfect.


    The interviewer decides to let her recount it herself.


    “Which major air routes have you flown?”


    Madison is extremelyposed. When ites to what she’s familiar with, she exudes


    confidence.


    So, the woman narrates her experience: “I have flown over sixty percent of domestic routes, as well


    as North American routes, the eighteen international standard routes, and the zero-kilometer sea


    routes.”


    The more the interviewers hear, the quieter they be.


    At this moment, a male voice chimes in: “Your resume states a two- year gap, were you


    grounded?”


    Madison shakes her head. Because the interviewer is blocking her view, she can’t see his face, but


    the voice sounds familiar..


    “I…” she pauses: “I got married.”


    The man slowly rises from his seat.


    +25 BONUS


    Madison, with excellent vision, identifies him immediately, astonishment shing in her eyes.


    Is it really him???


    Ethan, in his impably ironed ck suit, gazes at her from a distance: “Ourpany does not


    recruit female pilots.”


    Madison is taken aback, pretending not to recognize him, and gets up to bow, “I’m sorry.”


    Just as she is about to leave, she hears the man speak again: ” However, considering your


    excellence, we can make an exception.”


    A surprised joy lights up Madison’s face, she asks somewhat excitedly, “Really?”


    Ethan turns and heads for the room at the back, “Come here, the rest of you continue with the


    interview.”


    The interviewers look at each other, but none of them say anything.


    Madison follows the man into the back room.


    Ethan sinks into a leather sofa, leaning to one side, “Sit.”


    Once seated, Madison feels a bit unsettled, after all, this man has barged into her home before.


    “Mokino Airlines not only does not hire female pilots but also does not hire those who are married.”


    The married pilots of Mokino Airlines: What’s the boss talking about???


    Madison takes a breath, not lying in front of him: “I’m in the process of getting a divorce.”


    Ethan narrows his eyes, “Is that so?”


    +25 BONUS


    “Yes, once the cooling period is over, I will be able to get a divorce.” Madison’s voice goes lower.


    A hint of rxation seems to pass over Ethan’s brows, “Then start with a month of helicopter


    piloting as a trial. After a month, you’ll enter the airlinepany for training. If training goes well, we


    can sign a contract.”


    “After all, since we’ve made an exception for you, it wouldn’t be good to make another.”


    The interviewers outside: you’re making stuff up!!!


    Madison nods: “Understood, thank you.”


    She could never have imagined that the man from that night would actually be in the management


    team of Mokino International.


    “What kind of helicopter will I be flying? What’s my mission?”


    “Mission?”


    Ethan hadpletely forgotten about this, but it’s not a problem, he can think of something on the


    spot.


    As Madison anxiously waits to hear her mission, the man leisurely says, “Drive me home.”


    “Wha…what?”


    Madison thought she was hearing things because of the stress Lucas had caused.


    But Ethan doesn’t repeat himself, saying only, “First, go for a formal physical exam. If there are no


    problems, you can start work tonight.”


    Tonight…


    Start work…


    +25 BONUS


    In the medical examination room.


    The doctor conducting the physical examination could never have imagined that the big boss would


    actually visit their ce!


    Ethan nces at them, and they immediately catch his meaning, quietly sitting back down.


    “Go ahead.” He tips his chin.


    As Madison prepares to put down her backpack, Ethan takes it from her, carrying it casually.


    She worries, “Is your hand okay?”


    She rememberspressing his hand twice while avoiding the two dogs.


    Ethanughs carelessly: “So you do worry about me. Then why didn’t! see you call or text me?”


    As he talks, he nudges her shoulder, “Go do your physical first.”


    Pilots have stringent physical requirements, and not a single detail can be overlooked.


    m is examined, Ethan looks on.


    es the doctors begin to doubt this woman’s identity.


    she be the big boss’s girlfriend???


    sidering this woman’s appearance, she seems to be quite fitting or the big boss.


    The final examination arrives: blindfolded sound localization.


    Madison puts on a pair ofpletely sealed goggles, and she’ll have


    +25 BONUS


    to rely on hearing to determine the direction from here on.


    The doctor is about to make a sound, but receives a signal from the big boss.


    Ethan lightens his steps, changes his position, and then shakes the bell in his hand, making a very


    slight noise.


    Madison needs to determine his location and act ordingly as soon as possible.


    To everyone’s surprise, Madison’s reaction speed is truly astonishing, she is able to determine the


    direction and act within half a second after the sound is made.


    The floor is covered with objects, so Ethan’s steps do not make any noticeable noise.


    He adjusts his position and shakes the bell in his hand again.


    Madison immediately turns around and walks forward without any hesitation.


    Ethan leans against the ss wall, watching the woman walking towards him with a smile.


    Madison needs to grab the object that’s making the sound to pass the test.


    She trusts her hearingpletely, estimates the distance, takes several steps forward, and grabs


    directly.


    But the object she grabs does not seem to match the sound she heard.


    Madison hesitates for a moment before quickly letting go.


    you think you


    A teasing voice from nearby says, “Why let go? Do you heard wrong?”


    +25 BONUS


    Madison is sure she heard it from this side, there’s no way she could


    have made a mistake.


    But why would it be a hand?


    Ethan shakes the bell again with a mischievous smile.


    On the other side, the doctor starts the countdown.


    Time is almost up.


    Madison steels herself, steps forward again, and reaches out.


    But this time, she catches nothing, the hand is gone.


    But recing the hand is Ethan’sforting embrace.


    The doctors conducting the physical examination quickly avert their eyes.


    Madison freezes, forgetting to react.


    Ethan’s hug is polite.


    He pats her back, a calm voice sounding above her head: “I’m looking forward to seeing you


    be Mokino Airlines’ second female captain in the future.”
