Jessica bolted upright, her eyes wide as she scoured for her brother’s
F******k ount.
Minutester, confirmation came: amidst thete-night quiet, these two had decided to bare their
souls, publicizing their rtionship and sending the night-owlizens into a frenzy of likes.
Within just an hour or two, the inte sleuths had pieced together the couple’s resumes, and photo
coges of the pair began. circting, birthing an armada of shippers.
Meanwhile, Shi Hua, having returned to her residence, stumbled upon the hot topic on F*******
regarding today’s events. Amelia’s sardonic words echoed in her ears as she furiously tapped her
screen.
Shi Hua was convinced that Ethan, who typically shunned the public eye, must have been coerced
into this disy by Madison. The image of Madison she had seen today only solidified her belief.
Ethan had been without femalepanionship for years, basking in the prime of life, naturally
seeking thepany of women to fend off loneliness.
Shi Hua thought she could tolerate this since a man of Ethan’s stature would certainly choose a
partner of equal standing. In terms of ability, Shi Hua didn’t consider Madison a threat in the
slightest.
At Mukino International Airport.
The luxury car pulled up unapologetically at the entrance, with Madison stepping out first, her
uniform clearly marking her identity.
“Isn’t that Captain Madison?”

“Yes, it is!”

“She’s gorgeous, no wonder the Chairman of Mukino International likes her.”
“Women in captain uniforms are seriously cool!”
Exmations and envious murmurs filled the air.
Madison, however, was oblivious, as Ethan, still in the car, was
gripping her arm, preventing her from leaving.
“Just going like that? Don’t you feel like you’re missing something?”
Madison checked for any forgotten items. ID, work badge, various certificates all present.
Ethan’s face fell, prompting her, “Aren’t you forgetting to kiss me?”
William, in the passenger seat, quickly turned his head away,
desperately trying to be ‘deaf.’
Madison’s cheeks bloomed with a blush as she leaned into the back
seat, nting a kiss on Ethan’s lips.
Satisfied, Ethan released her, “Don’t forget, call me first thing if anything happens.”
“Got it.”
“Make sure to wear your uniform properly, and don’t get too close to other captains.”
“If someone’s cheeky, hit back or tell me.”
Madison nodded and waved goodbye as she entered the airport’s rear building. Once she was
inside, William closed the window, “President Grant, did you notice…”

Ethan’s gaze returned to the building as the driver steered towards
Mukino International’s headquarters
“Notice what?”
William coughed into his fist, “You’re somewhat… maternaltely.”
Ethan red at the back of William’s head for several seconds, “Do I
nag?”
“Absolutely not!” William dered his loyalty, “It’s an honor to receive your care. But…”
Ethan quickly became anxious, “Does Madison think I’m naggy?”
“That…”
William considered for a moment, “Young people might not appreciate someone who fusses too
much?”
When that icy re fell upon him again, William wisely shut his mouth.
Inside the airport building.
Frank from the flight department was early at the elevator, ready to wee both goddesses
personally.
But as the doors slid open, his prepared greeting froze. Standing there were Madison and Shi Hua,
in matching uniforms, one looking supremely confident, the other utterly serene.
Frank took a deep breath, “Good morning, Captains, please, this way.”
Madison and Shi Hua had run into each other at the elevator, seemingly forgotten yesterday’s
events, greeting each other politely.
As they followed Frank to the office, Shi Hua slowed her pace,” Madison, I haven’t been in the
country for a while. Is itmon here for women to make their boyfriends disclose their
rtionships?

Does it stem from insecurity?”
Her inquiry seemed genuine.
But Shi Hua had overlooked one thing: Madison was no ingénue; her character was just deeply
concealed. In the face of danger, her ws were sharper than anyone’s, always ready to strike.
“That’s a question for President Grant. No need to beat around the bush-just ask directly if you’re
curious. As for going public, I don’t mind it at all. In fact, it was Ethan who suggested it. You might
be right; maybe he’s the onecking security.”
Madison smiled, “Thank you for the reminder, Captain Shi. Rest assured, I’ll make sure to give
Ethan all the security he needs.”
With that, she pushed open the door to Frank’s office and stepped
inside.
Shi Hua, grinding her teeth, took a deep breath and followed, her face set in determination.
Frank was caught between two forces, not daring to offend either.
Whether it was water or work assignments, he presented everythin equally to both.
“Anyments on the flight route assignments?” Frank asked, stering a smile on his face.
Madison nced through the document and saw her assigned routes were to major international
cities-favorable destinations.
“No issues here.”
It was Shi Hua who raised a question, “Why are my flights scheduled so close to hers?”
Frank was taken aback.

Shi Hua pressed, “I’m ustomed to major routes. Isn’t it a bit…. beneath me to be assigned such
simple ones?”
She stopped short of saying wasting my talents, but her implication was clear, and Frank
understood.
Clearing his throat, Frank exined. Captain Shi, at Mukino
International, we don’t assign work based on past routes. However good you were before, that was
then. With us, you’re a neer, And neers start with short routes. Please understand.”
Shi Hua’s expression shifted, “Did Ethan arrange this?
“It was me,” Frank quickly responded, ncing at Madison, who was not wearing much of a smile.
Frank knew well who to support at the right time.
“Captain Shi, your excellence is undoubted. But everypany has its rules and regtions.”
Shi Hua’sughter was tinged with anger, “Do you have any idea what my treatment was overseas?
So many wanted me, and you…”
Frank’s expression darkened.
That’s when Madison interrupted Shi Hua’s arrogant monologue, her tone dripping with
unconcealed disdain-
“Did Mukino International beg you to join?”
