Was Neil getting angry out of embarrassment?
Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a look and chuckled in unison.
Neil knew that he would be asking for a snub if he were to argue with the husband and wife since their love was so strong, so he shook his head and coyly stepped away to board his plane with his hands on his back.
Neil's private plane was relatively small compared to the Hamertons', but the interior was luxurious and trendy in design. As he frequently flew everywhere across the world for filming, the plane was designed to match his superstar presence.
Aurelia sat properly on her seat without moving, as if afraid that she would wreck or stain somewhere with an additional move.
With wide eyes, she looked around curiously. Posters of movies that Neil had starred in were hung in the cabin of the plane, the man taking the center position in each of them.
He was styled differently in each, with varying makeup, but all the posters shared a similarity—no matter how the man was dressed or styled, he was so handsome that gods would envy him.
There was an especially eye-catching one where he acted as an assassin. He bared his upper body in the poster, and his physique was a perfect inverted triangle. There was a scar on his sinewy chest, and the lighting loomed over his chiseled face.
Aurelia stared at it in infatuation, unable to shift her eyes away.
"Miss, the plane will take off soon. Please put on your seatbelt.
"Miss? Miss!"
The flight attendant reminded Aurelia several times, but she showed no reaction. It was until Neil plopped himself down next to her and growled, "Aurelia!"
"Huh!?" Aurelia shuddered and quickly reeled her gaze back.
The flight attendant clasped Aurelia's seatbelt for her with a smile and gave several reminders before she came back again with slippers and a blanket.
Aurelia had never been served like this, so she smiled awkwardly. When she heard Neil's loud cough, though, she carefully tucked her smile away.
