Jenny was so excited that her fingers were trembling. He is looking at me, he is finally willing to take a good look at me. I wonder if my makeup is flawless today. I wonder...
When her thoughts were still running wild, she heard a calm man’s voice, “Who did you say pulled a publicity stunt?”
“Oh Captain Nolan, look over here,” Jenny, who was psyched out initially, immediately felt like a deflated balloon.
However, she still felt happy as long as she could speak with Lucas.
She directed her phone screen to Lucas, “It’s gone frenzy on the Internet. Mrs. Nolan’s video clip and another topic also went viral...”
Lucas’ expression changed. With his eyebrows squinted, he stared at the screen, checking out the top search on the Internet.
Jenny has been observing Lucas’ facial expression and was actually delighted that he was upset at Ashlyn. She could not wait for Lucas to blow a fuse at Ashlyn.
Feeling elated, she said, “Captain Nolan, that’s too much! How could Mrs. Nolan create such hype so easily without thinking it through? You need to teach her a lesson as she’s discrediting our Southern Star Airlines and affecting our reputation.”
Lucas’ squinted eyes became incisive suddenly and he started to get intimidating, “Do you know my wife personally? As a professional flight attendant, what were you doing when she was consoling the passenger?”
His cold words sent a shiver down Jenny’s spine and it was hard for her to bear his sarcasm and rebuke.
“Captain Nolan, what she did was clearly against the protocol as she wasn’t a member of the cabin crew. You’ll be punished for that.. us too...” Jenny’s eyes widened in disbelief.
How did it end up like this? Was he not upset with Ashlyn? Or was it because of what I said? If so, why me?
She could not contain her anger, “Captain Nolan, are you taking her side?”
“She saved more than a hundred lives,” Lucas smirked and walked away as he said, “It would truly be discrediting South Star Airlines if any punishment was imposed on her.”
