Ethan responded with equal seriousness, “I understand your concerns, and your caution is well-founded. Indeed, I’m not familiar with marriage; the only reference I have is my parents’ failed one.”
“The lessons from their mistakes are clear to me. As I’ve always said, I won’t betray you. From the beginning, I’ve known what I want. As for the responsibilities you mentioned, I’m ready to shoulder each one.”
“I don’t mean to rush you,” he continued, the typically unshakeable Chairman of Mukino International showing a rare hint of vulnerability, “I just hope you’ll think about it. I can wait as long as it takes.”
This matter, Madison considered seriously, especially after seeing the screenshot spreading online while Ethan caught up on sleep.
The screenshot showed Ethan’s F******k post from two days prior, where he stated it was he who pursued her.
He had used every means to squash the scandal about her, shielding her from the barrage of unusual public scrutiny.
Just like that early autumn morning when he shielded her from every tempest that humanity could muster.
He had succeeded.
And he continued to do so.
Madison could feel his sincerity with exceptional clarity.
The morning arrived.
Madison finally received her work schedule from Frank, instructing
her to come to the company.

Ethan was still asleep, and she didn’t disturb him, getting ready to
leave on her own.
Coincidentally, Brother Jia was waiting at the first-floor doorway, his smile seeming to await her departure.
“Miss Clark, your car is prepared,” he announced.
Madison was pleasantly surprised, “Thank you for your efforts.”
“Knowing you’re busy and short on time, the chef prepared a simple breakfast for you to eat on the way, to avoid any stomach discomfort.
Brother Jia handed her the food with due reverence and saw her out.
Treated like royalty, Madison exhaled as she opened the breakfast box and began eating while checking the work group on W******
***p.
Many pilots were congratulating her for qualifying to fly international routes. It seemed the news had spread throughout the company. She responded with a smile.
At Mukino International.
Frank was waiting at the entrance for her.
This was the future matriarch of the company, to be treated with utmost respect.
“Captain Madison, please come inside!”
Madison, faced with such deferential treatment from Manager Xiao, humbly protested, “Manager Xiao, please act naturally. I am still your subordinate.”
Frank chuckled, “I wish I could have someone as precious as you under my command.”

They entered the office.
Frank presented her with the new international route assignments,” What do you think?”
“I’ve flown these before, no problem,” Madison said seriously after reviewing them.
“Sure?”
Frank reminded her, “This route flies twice a week, which is quite. frequent. One way is over ten hours, and round-trip will take at least. three days. Have you discussed this with your boyfriend…?”
Madison pondered for a moment, Should I go back and discuss it with him?”
Frank laughed, “That would be great!”
After all, this entire company belongs to your boyfriend!
“Go ask him, no rush. Here’s the contract for your raise; just sign if you’re okay with it.”
Madison’s eyes widened, “A raise
Frank winked, “It’s the Civil Aviation Administration’s decision.”
With that, Madison happily signed the contract.
“I’ve got to go; there’s a new pilot I need to interview,” Frank said,
taking the contract and leaving.
Madison stepped out of the office, quickly surrounded by her first and second officers.
“Captain, congratulations!”
“Congrats on being cleared for international routes so quickly!”

Madison smiled and went along with their felicitations, “Shall we have lunch together? None of you have flight duties, right?”
“We’re free,” Jack beamed. “We were waiting for your work schedule to decide our own.”
“Then let’s go?” Madison suggested, motioning them to invite a few other pilots.
She named several.
“Got it!” Jack dashed off to gather them.
At a restaurant near Mukino International.
They had just sat down when Brian, Charlie, and Henry arrived.
Having competed together, they seemed to have grown closer.
After ordering their meals.
Brian started with a word of caution, “Flying international routes. requires even more meticulousness. We can’t afford any mistakes.”
Madison accepted the advice humbly.
The meal arrived, and they enjoyed their food amidst laughter and
chatter.
The W******p chimed.
It was him.
Ethan: Where are you? Not at the company?
Madison; Having lunch with colleagues. Are you awake?
Ethan: Just woke up. Can I pick you up after lunch?
+25 BONUS
Madison: Sure.
Ethan: Send me the address.
After sending her location, Madison set down her phone.
Charlie then turned to her, hesitating before speaking, “Did you know our company just hired a female pilot who returned from abroad?”
Madison blinked, shaking her head.
Chewing his food, Charlie continued, “I heard… she’s quite impressive. And it seems she has some connection with President Grant.”
It was a heads-up.
After Madison had deliberately concealed her relationship with Ethan, the recent scandal had exposed her as President Grant’s girlfriend!
While surprised internally, they wouldn’t discuss these matters openly -just cozying up behind the scenes was enough!!!
Madison, unaware of the others’ thoughts, asked Charlie, “Do you
know her?”
“Not personally. But you should.”
“Me?”
Charlie explained, “She’s from your First Flight Academy, named Shi Hua.”
Shi Hua?
Madison certainly knew the name.
