No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 399

"Mr. Wagner, we're running out of time!" the flight attendant warned on the plane.

I was well aware that even private planes had schedules to adhere to, and making a phone call now would only delay us further.

"Forget it," I sighed, settling into my seat.

"Just a minute," Conrad interjected.

His remark was directed at the flight attendant, and with that, he handed me his smartphone.

I was taken aback by his willingness to let me make the call. Technically, he could have used this as an excuse to refuse, both personally and professionally.

I looked at him, puzzled. I couldn't help but notice that since his return from his mysterious disappearance, he seemed... different.

As I gazed at him in confusion, Conrad offered no explanation, merely turning to look out the window.

"Let's go," I said, passing the smartphone back to the flight attendant.

Conrad looked at me in surprise, and the flight attendant glanced at him, seeking his approval. After all, he was the owner of the private jet.

After a few seconds, Conrad withdrew his gaze from me and said coldly, "Take off."

The flight attendant relayed Conrad's instructions through the intercom, and the plane gradually ascended into the sky.

At that moment, Conrad's phone began to ring.

He glanced at the caller ID and then at me, probably assuming Ernest had noticed my absence after his shower and had decided to reach out.

But with the plane already airborne, I couldn't possibly answer the call.

I took his phone, saw it was indeed Ernest calling, but I ended the call myself and switched the device to airplane mode.
