The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220

"Therefore, can you pretend nothing happened on this plane and continue doing what you're supposed to? 1’

The captain nodded without hesitation. He held a trembling hand out and said, "There's no way I'll turn down your request. May I shake your hand?"

Edward shrugged and nodded. He relaxed a little and said, "If you're willing, I can take a photo with you."

The captain's face glowed with excitement. His lips were trembling so badly that he couldn't say a word, and he'd even teared up. He shuffled over to Edward, then pulled out his phone with trembling hands and snapped a blurry photo.

Darius saw that there was no way to tell who was in the photo, so he smiled helplessly and took the phone from the captain.

Then, he aimed the camera at them and said, "Let's take another photo. The other one was blurred."

Bridget walked over to Erin's side, his hands behind his back as she gaped at the scene before them. It felt so surreal. When Erin heard how uneven her breathing was, she knew Bridget was shocked. She turned to look at

Bridget and said, "There's no need to be surprised. Mr. Reid must have his reasons for doing this. All we have to do is wait, and our questions will eventually be answered. You’re being too obvious, and that's not a good thing for Mr. Reid."

Erin tried to keep her voice as low as possible so only Darius and Bridget heard her. A trace of surprise flashed in Darius’ eyes. He glanced at Erin without anyone noticing, then put a hand behind his back before sliding the phone back into the captain's pocket. "Alright, it's time for you to get back to work. I don't think you need to worry about Kate. She's fine now."

Kate was still shocked. She never would've expected someone who'd been extremely loyal to her father only to have eyes for Edward. Still, she was happy about this. After all, she wanted her staff to treat Darius as well as she did. Though the captain hadn't been nice to Darius, he practically worshiped Edward, which was good enough. At least it wouldn’t make things between him and Darius too awkward. She buried this thought deep in her mind, but the look in her eyes betrayed her.
