Our classmates were still very excited and were all talking and drinking in the lobby.
Everyone knew about my and Ivanna's pregnancies and told us to rest. Ivanna and I didn't hesitate and returned to the bedroom on the plane.
Lying on the bed, Ivanna told me, "Poppy is shameless. Didn't she say she came to Gerby to have some fun? Why didn't she join the festivities tonight? Why is she following us back instead?"
I snorted coldly. "If Atlas hadn’t been there today, I wouldn't have realized the fall was fake. I might have been in serious danger."
"You should have done something about her!" Ivanna turned over and looked at me, disdainfully saying, "I've seen many people like her. I know all about her schemes."
"It's not up to me," I complained.
"At least her schemes aren’t as bad as Harmony Hampton’s were back then. She needs to work harder," Ivanna admitted.
"She can't stir up any big waves. I know what to do. If she gets cocky, I'll take care of her." I said disdainfully. "I can't usually be bothered with her. Let her struggle! She'll get what she deserves if she goes too far!"
I didn't expect much from Poppy. Right now, I was more concerned about the assassin.
Logically, he wouldn't have acted alone at such an important event, but he hadn't made another move. Did he think we were too well defended?
Just then, there were two light knocks on the bedroom door. I responded, thinking it was Atlas. But when the door opened, it was Poppy, who we had just been talking about.
She walked in boldly, grinning. I looked at her from where I was in bed while Ivanna pretended to be asleep.
There wasn’t much room in the plane bedroom.
"Am I bothering you, Ms. Chloe?" She asked with an awkward smile while glancing around.
"Yeah. I’m going to take a nap." I lay still without moving.

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
Atlas literally took Chloe away from Ryan Ryan needs to go back and reinforce to be able to be head-on Caz that's the only place he's lacking...
