“The thing is…” said Natalie. She had no intention of hiding anything, so she told Shane the whole story.
Shane sighed and complained, “I never realized that you are such a busybody.”
Natalie grinned before she said coquettishly, “I can’t help it. She’s my friend, and she always had my back when we were studying together. I can’t abandon her now that she is being bullied by others.”
“Nat…” said Sally as she held Natalie’s hand. Tears of appreciation were swirling in the former’s eyes.
Shane massaged his head and asked, “So her main issue now is that she can’t get to the training site on time, right?”
“Yeah,” answered Natalie while nodding.
Shane sighed, then said, “Have Silas talk to the airport manager and ask him to have another first-class ticket printed for her. Tell them I have requested for it.”
Shane had block booked the first-class cabin and could choose who he let on board. The airport would also have to be nice to him for that.
“Thank you, Shane!” said Natalie, whose glee got her big, round eyes to glow upon hearing that.
Shane muttered an affirmative reply before adding, “Hurry up now. The plane is about to depart.”
“Okay, I’ll relay your message to Mr. Campbell right away,” said Natalie, before she quickly hung up. Sally was lost and curious until Natalie told Silas everything that Shane had just said.
Silas began working on his task as soon as he heard his assignment.
After he left, Sally held Natalie’s hand in disbelief and asked, “Nat, does that mean I can board the plane?”
“Yeah.”
“And I get to fly first-class?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh my gosh, that’s amazing!” cheered Sally while jumping, “Nat, you are truly my lucky star. I honestly thought that I would miss this training opportunity. Thank you. Thank you so much!”
Sally hugged Natalie tightly. The former was over six feet tall, so Natalie looked especially small when being held by her.
Natalie tapped on Sally’s back and said, “Okay, but you shouldn’t be thanking me. If it hadn’t been for the guy on the phone, I would not have been able to help you.”
“Oh, that reminds me,” said Sally while letting Natalie go, “Nat, is that guy your boyfriend?”
