184 Skiing Experience

Mason nodded and glanced at Ava: “Do you want to head out now, or take it slow for a bit?”

Ava had slept for more than two hours on the starship and felt wide awake. “So where are we going this afternoon?”

“You can say what you like. I am sure Mr. Martin will make the arrangements.”

Jalal quietly mulled over the relationship between the two of them. He made a point of not looking at the young woman. As an artificial–born human, his work as a guide had exposed him to a wide range of people.

He knew perfectly well that when a high–ranking man brought a companion along on a trip like this, the point was usually to build intimacy, not necessarily to do anything specific. In short, people in his line of work needed to know how to read the room.

This private job was never supposed to come to him. He had heard the competition was fierce and the pay generous. As for why it ended up going to him, the rumor was that it was because he had an honest, unassuming look.

Jalal did not really believe that. He was an experienced guide, after all, and it seemed unlikely that his plain look had anything to do with it. No one hired a guide based on looks anyway.

Ava hesitated, her expression tight with indecision. They were not staying long on this trip, which meant some plans would nevitably be cut.

Mason noticed her furrowed brow and said, “If you think it looks interesting, we can stay a few more days.”

Ava was clearly tempted, but she shook her head with quiet resolve. “No. If I really end up loving this place, I can always come back another time. I will plan a longer stay then.”

They got into the hovercar. Jalal took the driver’s seat and spoke as he started the engine. “This distinguished miss, is this your first ime visiting Pluto? Pluto is famous for its ice and snow landscapes Welcome, and enjoy your trip here.”

Ava smiled and picked up a brochure from the seat beside her, flipping through it. “I saw people recommending this place too. They said it is known as an ice world.”

‘The brochure highlighted several popular attractions. As she skimmed through it, she tapped on a photo of an open–air siresort, hen turned to Mason. “I want to try this one, but I have never skied before it hard to learn?”

Mason glanced at where she was pointing. “We will get you an instructor later. You are great at studying Sang should be easy for

you.”

She laughed at that. “I do not think I am exactly gifted when it comes to sports.”

When they arrived at the ski resort, Jalal hurried around, making arrangements and securing one of the resort’s top mali

Hello, my name is Rion Hodge. I am a professional ski instructor, and I have been teaching for over fifty years. Which one of you will be learning today?“.

Ava raised her hand and said, “P, Mr. Hodge. I have never tried skiing before, so I hope you will be patient with me.”

Rion smiled. “That is totally fine. We get a lot of beginners here. I am sure you will pick it up.”

Mr. Hodge hasn’t even started teaching me yet, and he’s already really good at encouraging people.

Avá turned to Mason. “I will go over there with Mr. Hodge first. You can go have some fun. Once I get the hang of it, I will come find you.”

Masor replied, “I will watch you learn first. We can talk about the rest later.”

Hearing their exchange, Rion laughed. “Miss, your boyfriend is really patient with you.”

Mason shot him a look and said coldly, “I am her husband.”

Rion froze and apologized immediately. “Sorry, my mistake.”
