“She already ate,” Nancy answered quietly.
Lucas gave a satisfied smile after hearing this.
Seeing the purser coming out from the cockpit, Jenny got curious and asked, “Nancy, what are you up to? You’ve been in and out of the cockpit a few times!”
Jenny examined her expression closely, wondering if Nancy also had a thing for Captain Nolan.
She put up her guard instantly.
Nancy was speechless. She was not interested in getting into any drama. “A few planes crashed in other countries recently, so Captain Nolan has been asking for frequent updates on how the passengers are doing.”
“Don’t you think it’s unnecessary to report back to him so frequently?” Jenny felt something was a little off.
“You know the captain takes his work seriously. Do you think I enjoy running in and out so many times?” Nancy replied, stretching her limbs after she finally got to sit down.
The flight was crossing into Italian airspace.
Lucas immediately reached out to the local air traffic control, requesting a lower altitude so the flight could be more stable.
It had been five to six hours since they took off. The co-pilot said to Lucas, “Captain Nolan, let’s switch.”
Lucas nodded and got up.
The co-pilot quickly moved over.
By the time Lucas opened the cockpit’s door and stepped outside, the sky over the horizon was already dark.
The cabin was dimly lit. Some passengers were sound asleep, while others had their headphones on listening to music.
Lucas could hear a few people snoring away.
Ashlyn was in the third last row. She had bought tickets for the whole row of seats, so there was no one next to her.
Right now, she was resting her head against the seat with her eyes closed.
Across the aisle, Lucas spotted Yakov. His blond hair fell loosely on his forehead, making his skin look particularly fair. His glasses elegantly rested on his prominent nose bridge, but to Lucas, he was still not the best-looking guy.
He walked down the aisle, sat down beside Ashlyn, and took a good look at her.
Ashlyn was alerted. Sensing a warm presence, she reflexively opened her eyes.
The light was faint. But she could still vaguely see Lucas’ refined and flawless features.
She found herself lost in his mesmerizing eyes until his sturdy voice called her name.
