Chapter 0172
After sending that message on W******p, Madison was whisked away by the team doctor for further
bacterial examinations. Her phone, left abandoned on the side, was oblivious to the chaos Ethan,
who had just paid a billion dors, was plunged into back home.
The news of Madison’s sabotage had everyone convening in Ethan’s study. But before anyone
could voice their concerns, they found Ethan petrified, staring at his phone like a mummified sage.
“Hello?” Michael waved his hand in front of Ethan’s face to no
response.
Even his sister Jessica’s calls went unheard.
The assassindy, not sumbing to upational habits, simply nudged the boss to snap him
back to reality.
Shaking off his trance, Ethan looked perplexed at the gathering crowd, “What’s up?”
Michael was spooked, “You alright? You zoned out there for a good
while.”
“I’m fine,” the man cleared his throat!
He then turned to William, “Stay. Everyone else, leave.”
The room cleared without a murmur, leaving William to approach
Jean in, “You wanted to say, President Grant?”
“Start nning a wedding tomorrow!”
“Okay.”
But the next second, William’s eyes widened, “n what?”
“A wedding.”
William’s mouth hung open, struggling to contain his astonishment, With Captain Madison?”
Ethan cast him a sidelong nce, “Who else? Michael?”
“Cough.”
William straightened up, his lips curling upwards, “Understood! I’ll make sure it’s the most grandiose
and spectacr wedding ndon Harbour has ever seen!”
“And the budget for this event, President Grant, is…?”
Still fixated on Madison’sst message, Ethan couldn’t believe his eyes weren’t deceiving him.
“There’s no cap. Perfection is the priority.”
“Got it!”
William marched out, chest puffed with pride. Spending money? That
was the easy part!
Ethan stayed awake all night, partly due to work, but mostly because every time he thought of
Madison’s words, he was too…
Excited to sleep.
Abroad.
Once clear of the bacterial toxins, Madison was left with a mild fev but nothing else that would affect
her too much.
With the assessment dyed by a day, and jetg not yet an issue, the four women were left with
time on their hands.
Π
“How about some food delivery?” proposed Charlie.
Yu Lulei quickly joined in, “Sounds good!”
The room had two beds on each side, perfect for the four of them.
Madison and Kou Mei were opposite each other, both by the window.
Still on an IV drip, Madison was asked by Charlie, “You need
something light, right?”
“That’s for sure.” Yu Lulei suddenly pointed at Charlie’s phone screen,
I want this.”
Without a fuss, Charlie handed over her phone, “You choose first.”
Once everyone had ordered, Madison settled for an authentic pearl
soup.
The barbecue feast cost nearly two thousand, but Charlie didn’t mind the expense.
Yu Lulei grimaced, “Why is this stuff so expensive overseas?”
“You do realize we’re abroad, right?”
By then, Kou Mei had already pulled the women into a W******p group.
The group name was simple-
-[The Badass Female Captains]
It was Yu Lulei’s doing.
Charlie nced at it, “Yu Lulei, if you don’t secure an S-tier, kindly
remove yourself. This group is for S-tier captains only.”
“Are you belittling me?” Yu Lulei said expressionlessly.
“Yes.”
Yu Lulei clutched her pillow dramatically, “Ever since our training base days, you’ve looked down on
me. Oh heavens!!!”
The room fell silent.
Madison and Charlie exchanged bewildered looks, not expecting Yu Lulei’s dramatics.
“Hey? Hey!” Charlie nudged her, “I was joking, why are you actually crying?”
Yu Lulei suddenly lifted her head from the pillow, her eyes twinkling mischievously, “Heh, I was just
yawning. It’s just reflex tears.”
Charlie, unable to hold back, kicked out, “Get back to your bed!”
With the robust constitution of a pilot, Yu Lulei felt little from the kick and retreated to her own bed.
With time on their hands, Kou Mei initiated a serious conversation, Any future ns?”
They were all simr in age and at the top of their field.
Yu Lulei was first, “I want to pilot an Airbus A380!”
“I do too.”
“Same here.”
Kou Mei: “…
She was speechless, “Can’t your dreams be less uniform?”
After contemtion, Yu Lulei blinked and suggested with a wide grin, How about being the first
female captain to pilot an Airbus A380 in the country?”
The other two female captains-
“Me too.”
“Me too.”
Kou Mei just sighed.
Amused, Charlie asked, “And you?”
Kou Mei, lying on the bed, pondered, “I just asked because I didn’t have any particr ideas.”
“Don’t you want to pilot an A380?” Yu Lulei inquired.
Kou Mei red at her, “Can we stop mentioning the A380?!”
Yu Lulei, pillow in hand, dered emphatically, “A pilot who doesn’t want to fly an A380 isn’t a good
captain!”
“That makes sense.”
“That makes sense.”
Kou Mei had no more words.
As they chatted, the barbecue they ordered arrived.
As the small grill was set up before them, and three women gathered on her bed to feast, Madison
whispered, “I thought high-end people like you wouldn’t enjoy such down-to-earth food.”
Instantly, Charlie and Yu Lulei turned to her, while Kou Mei, busy her skewers, followed a beatter.
“Why would you think we’re high-end?”
Madison considered, “Because you fly high?”
The room erupted intoughter.

After theughter subsided, Kou Mei exined, “Because we’re
usually restricted from such indulgences, we find these foods more
appealing. Besides, how many Chinese people don’t enjoy delicious fare?”
Yu Lulei, devouring with gusto, chimed in, “Exactly.”
She then dered, “Let’s go Dutch on the bill.”
Kou Mei couldn’t be bothered, “You ate the most, why the hell should we split it with you?”
Madison, limited to her soup, longed for the tantalizing dishes she couldn’t touch, her heart aching.
Picking up her phone, she sent a W******p message.
Madison: President Grant, I kind of want some barbecue…
She thought he’d be asleep at this hour.
To her surprise, a reply came instantly.
Ethan: You can’t have any now, but I’ll have the best barbecue chef wait at home for you. They will
prepare all the dishes so you can
enjoy them as soon as you return.
Ethan: Do you fancy anything else?
