“No, you can’t!” insisted Olivia, who was quick to stop Sharon.
“F*ck off!”
Sharon flung Olivia’s hand away, but Olivia was adamant about protecting Ellie.
The two of them fought and attracted the other passengers’ attention.
A sleepy passenger complained in frustration, “Will you please keep your voices down?”
A stewardess came over at that moment and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing,” replied Sharon before she glared at Olivia to signal for the latter to lie.
Olivia had her head down. She didn’t dare to even breathe too loudly.
At that moment, she was weighing her options and wondering if she should tell the stewardess the truth. If I do that, the policeman on board can apprehend Sharon.
However, Olivia got cold feet when she saw the four foreign bodyguards.
They are killers. If I push them to a corner, they might retaliate and end up hurting the other passengers in the crossfire.
“Please buckle up. The plane is about to depart,” reminded the stewardess.
“Why haven’t we taken off yet?” asked Sharon who was in shock, “It’s been a while since we boarded, so why is the gate still open?”
“A passenger is on the way over. His luggage is already being taken over,” replied the stewardess.
“What the hell?” growled Sharon angrily as she checked her watch, “It’s already past the departure time, so why aren’t we in the air yet? Why are you wasting our time? Is our time not equally precious to you?”
“That’s not it. Miss, that passenger…”
“Everyone has to wait because one person is late. Is that it?”
Sharon shouted and started making a scene.
“Are we supposed to wait forever if he never shows up? It’s the holidays, and there are so many people flying home. If you keep delaying like this, our flight will be postponed or worse, canceled!”
