    Chapter 0054


    They had always known their boss was young, but they hadn’t expected him to be this young!


    Ethan wore a dark blue suit with a ck shirt and striped tie that day. His hair was neatly trimmed,


    and he wore gray-framed sses. He was penning something on a contract resting on hisp.


    He didn’t fit the image of a typical boss, never presiding over meetings he didn’t host, nor sitting in


    the central seat-more like a


    spectator.

    Yet, even from his corner, no one dared overlook him….


    Seeing that everyone had arrived, Frank began, “You’ve probably heard about the new captain


    joining our Flight Department. I won’t keep you in suspense.”


    “Come in.”


    Ten pilots waiting outside entered one by one.


    The crowd’s gaze swept over them, searching for the rumored new female captain.


    moment, Ethan looked up.


    ot nine were all men in white shirts and ck cks. Then, thest to enter, a woman with a high


    ponytail, made Charlie sit up straight.


    A murmur rippled through the crowd.


    They were astounded by how young and beautiful the new female. captain was.


    They had expected someone middle-aged, but the male pilots’ eyes


    lit up at the sight of her.


    One by one, Frank introduced them,


    “Hello everyone, I’m Henry, the new captain…”


    “Hello, I’m Kedel, the new captain…

    “Wait, really?”


    Someone quietly counted. Only two had introduced themselves as captains so far. Could it be the


    remaining woman…


    Madison faced the curious eyes and stepped forward, shing a confident, proud smile at the


    microphone.


    “Hello, everyone. I’m Madison, the new captain.”


    “Wow!”


    “No way!”


    “A female captain?”


    She’s so young, this…”


    Doubts and murmurs arose, though none were openly challenged.


    Charlie kept her eyes on Madison.


    She remembered her from Mukino Airlines’ recruitment event.


    Not only that, they had coborated once and Charlie still remembered it vividly…


    How could it be her?


    Madison, in her fitted white shirt and ck tie, radiated vitality, and

    her trousers entuated the length of her legs, with matching boots lending her an air of


    sharpness.


    Now seated, Madison’s non-smiling face exuded an unapproachable


    aura.


    In the back rows where the crew sat, there was an uproar of excitement, especially from Jessica,


    who was thrilled: “That’s my idol! Doesn’t she look striking in her captain’s uniform? She’s even a bit


    taller than Charlie!”


    The others could only silently agree, not daring to voice their


    agreement too loudly-after all, Charlie was seated right at the front.


    re was


    Indeed, Madison’s superior; she was dazzling in uniform, a queen among women.


    Ethan toyed with his pen, his gaze lingering on Madison, unfazed by the many eyes on him.


    Madison felt his stare and finally shot him a re.


    That re took Ethan aback.


    early, he hadn’t expected Madison to re at him.


    ank was speaking when a sudden chuckle from beside him made him halt, “President Grant, any


    instructions?”


    The man withdrew his gaze, shaking his head leisurely, “No, continue.


    ‘Ah,’ Frank vocalized, then resumed, “The remaining three captains. will be ced in Squad Six,


    and the crew has already been assigned. Check the listter to see where you belong.”


    “As for the leader of Squad Six…” Frank paused.


    Everyone perked up their ears.

    “Madison.”


    Even Madison was taken aback, “Me?”


    Frank raised an eyebrow, “Lacking confidence in yourself?”


    At this, dissent arose: “Manager Xiao, it’s not that we don’t wee a new colleague, but given her


    youth, this arrangement…”


    How should the pilots who’d strived for years without bing squad leaders feel?


    Frank yed a prepared PowerPoint presentation.


    Eyes were drawn to the screen.


    In the darkness, only the sounds from the flight recorder yed.


    The background noise was chaotic


    “What do we do?!”


    “The second engine is out, the third is alerting.”


    Then a calm female voice filtered through: “It’s toote for an emergencynding.”


    Many recognized Madison’s voice.

    ‘t have enough fuel to reach the nearest body of plot analyzed.


    Madison said, “Focus on saving the captain, I’ll pilot. We’ll try to get through that thunderstorm.”


    “Get through… the thunderstorm?”
