After confirming my participation in the race, I immediately booked a flight to Caucan.
To completely hide Su’s identity, I removed the heavy makeup I usually wore and went with a bare face.
Even then, I still didn’t feel safe enough, so I finally took out a light black veil and put it on, leaving only my eyes visible. That way, unless someone knew me extremely well, it would be very hard to recognize me.
After packing a small suitcase, I quietly avoided the other members of the Ortegas and headed to the airport.
Once I finished check-in smoothly, I found a seat and sat down. I leaned back with my eyes closed and silently planned everything about the race, hoping it would go smoothly so I could take the prize money and leave right away without getting involved with anyone.
As the plane was about to take off, a slight stir spread through the cabin. I opened my eyes without thinking, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar figure walking down the aisle.
When I saw his face clearly, I froze. Why is it Samson?
I didn’t have time to think. I quickly lowered my head and hid my face as much as possible behind the veil, hoping he wouldn’t notice me.
But what I feared most still happened. That figure stopped right next to my seat, and I heard the familiar sound of someone sitting down.
My heart began to race, and my palms began to sweat. I sat stiffly, not daring to move. Just as I was struggling with whether to change seats, a deep male voice sounded beside my ear. “Ms. Airel?”
My whole body tensed up. I slowly lifted my head and met Samson’s searching gaze.
When I saw him staring at my veil, I suddenly realized something. The veil I was wearing now was the same style I had worn before at the Mooncrest Pack estate to hide my identity.
No wonder he mistook me for someone else.
Realizing this, I relaxed a little, but I still didn’t dare let my guard down. Afraid of slipping up, I forced myself to stay calm and asked with puzzled look, “Excuse me, you are…?”

Halfway through, I nodded slightly as if I had just remembered something and said politely but distantly, “Oh, Mr. Ortega.”
Samson nodded back. His eyes lingered on my face for a few seconds before he asked in confusion, “Ms. Airel, when did you arrive here?
I silently thought how close that was, but I kept gentle smile and answered calmly. “I arrived not long ago to handle some personal matters. Where are you heading, Mr. Ortega?”
“Our destination should be the same,” Samson said lightly, his tone giving nothing away.
His words made my heart tighten. A bad thought rose in my mind. Could Samson also be going to Caucan for the race?
That thought made my breathing pause for a moment, but I still forced myself to stay calm and asked, “Are you going to Caucan for a business trip?”
I thought he would brush it off like he would with a stranger, but to my surprise, he didn’t hide it at all. “I’m going to Caucan to take part in a competition. What about you?”
I froze for a second. As expected, he really was going for the race.
I pushed down my panic and casually made up an excuse. “I’m going to visit an old friend in Caucan. It just happens to be on the way.”
During the rest of the flight, Samson asked a few more casual questions, but I answered each one carefully. Every word I said made me nervous, afraid I might say something wrong and expose myself.
Throughout the flight, his gaze kept landing on my face from time to time. That probing look made me very uncomfortable, and I just wanted the trip to end as soon as possible.
At last, the plane landed. The moment the cabin door opened, I stood up right away, grabbed my luggage, and tried to leave this stressful place as quickly as possible.
Just as I reached the cabin door, Samson caught up with me and said politely, “My driver will be here soon. If you don’t mind, I can give you a ride.”
“No, thank you,” I quickly waved my hand and refused, my voice a bit rushed. “My friend is already waiting outside, Goodbye.”
