Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day novel Chapter 213

Madison pondered for a moment before answering, "I pursued him."

Charlie laughed. "Come on, you can’t be serious."

"How am I not being serious?"

"You and President Grant's relationship... it doesn't feel like you were the one who pursued him. He has hardly ever visited this base in years, but since you joined Mukino Airlines, he shows up every time you're here. He's treasuring you like a precious jewel; it must be him who chased you."

Madison was speechless.

Charlie usually seemed detached, unconcerned with others' affairs, and yet here she was, revealing her more perceptive side.

Madison didn’t deny it. "Ah, so what?"

Charlie was now fully engaged in gossip mode. "How did President Grant chase you? Tell it to me like a story."

Madison frowned. "What's there to tell? It was just the usual way."

Had Ethan ever actually pursued her?

It seemed not; as far as she could remember, hadn't he been straightforward from the start?

With her busy schedule, Madison had almost forgotten how she and Ethan had started out.

"No way."

Charlie analyzed, "Given President Grant's competitive nature, it's impossible he didn’t take action."

A hint of embarrassment colored Madison’s response, "He didn’t really chase, just made his intentions clear from the get-go."

"And then?" Charlie’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Did you just accept him right away?"

"No."

Madison looked down, her voice quiet.

It seemed Charlie remembered something too, and quickly changed the subject. "Oh, well... it's time for training."

Considering the timeline of Madison's relationship with Ethan, it wasn't long after she'd left her ex-husband.

Not wanting to dredge up painful memories for Madison, Charlie swiftly moved on.

"Charlie."

Charlie turned back.

Madison asked earnestly, "Do you think I'm not good enough?"

That question...

Charlie returned to her side, the two women facing the biting wind.

"Madison, before you joined Mukino Airlines, I was the only female pilot here. But now, all the accolades are yours. If I thought you weren't good enough, wouldn't I have protested?"

Charlie's words were like the hottest sun of summer, hitting Madison right at her core.

"Madison, you’re now the rising star of our company, our hope. If you get discouraged, what are we supposed to do?" Charlie sighed, "I'm only an A-grade pilot."

Madison chuckled, "Let’s get back to training!"

Charlie snapped to attention, saluting, "Yes, Instructor Meng!"

The two women, playful and competitive, ran to the training field.

To help ease Madison’s anxiety, Charlie took to chatting with her more often, distracting her.

Ethan noticed all this.

So two days later, when it was payday, Charlie found an extra hundred thousand yuan in her account.

What? A mistake?

Her salary was never this high.

Then she learned from the finance department that it was a personal bonus from President Grant.

Understanding the gesture, Charlie embraced Madison, "You're my lucky star!"

Madison was puzzled, "How am I your lucky star?"

"It's nothing. Let’s eat."

The training period was drawing to a close.

Slandon Port was layered in snow, crunching underfoot.

"The selection contest is the day after tomorrow."

On the last day of training, as Charlie sat in the middle of the field, everyone snapped back to attention.

Madison was absent, and all eyes involuntarily drifted toward the airplanes in the distance.
