Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 131

Sloane Sutton and Zoe Ziegler had barely managed an hour of rest at the guest house—the sheets weren't even warm yet—when the notification arrived.

Larry Reed ordered them to head to South Reef Island immediately, urging them to hurry.

Sloane only had enough time to run a quick search on "South Reef Island."

It was the country's southernmost island, known for its breathtaking scenery and glass-clear waters.

However, due to its sensitive location, it was mostly inhabited by local fishermen.

Zoe looked crestfallen.

"This time we're really being exiled to the middle of nowhere. Is this island basically deserted? Are we just going to stare at monkeys all day?"

Because access to the island was restricted to three boat trips a day, a special pass was required just to get there.

Sloane, on the other hand, didn't care.

As someone who felt completely unloved by her family, heartbroken from a failed romance, and dealing with a massive career setback, it didn't matter where she went.

Because of this, she hadn't even bothered to read the fine print of their transfer orders.

Zoe hadn't read them closely either.

Larry had been rushing them so aggressively that they risked missing the ferry if they didn't leave immediately.

Sloane and Zoe boarded the ferry bound for the island.

The boat had open seating, and they found a spot near the deck.

After a long, echoing blast of the horn, the ship set off. As the gentle ocean breeze washed over her, Sloane surprisingly found her mood lifting.

"Sloane, look, seagulls!"

"Sloane, look at those jet skis up ahead!"

"..."

Zoe's mood was visibly improving by the second.

"I'm suddenly kind of curious about island life. If I get to look at the ocean every day, maybe my mindset will broaden too. Don't you think?"

Sloane offered a soft smile.
