Chapter 152 This is Indeed a Misunderstanding
Deborah paused for a moment, looked closely, and confirmed that she wasn’t weeling things incorrectly
This plane ticket was for a randomly chosen flight, with neither the time not the location being particularly special
Now, Ashton happened to be sitting next to her, with just an aisle separating them. It couldn’t possibly be a
coincidence.
Ashton didn’t look at her, sitting in the chair with his eyes lowered to the computer, his expression distant and cold
The smile on Deborah’s face vanished, replaced by a look of full alertness
Seeing Ashton pretending to be focused on his work, acting as if he hadn’t noticed her at all, she reached out and tapped twice on the desk in front of him!
Ashton didn’t even look up as he replied, “No need ”
The flight attendant nearby noticed the situation and saw Asldon’s Impatient expression the immediately stepped forward to stop Deborah, “Ma’am, please return to your seal the plane will be taking off soon
The flight attendant met Ashton and, sering Deborah’s demeanor, thought she was trying to get close to him on purpose. A hint of disdain was hidder
expression.
Deborah stared at Ashton and sneered, “What do you mean ”
There’s no such thing as coincidence in this world.
As Ashton’s fingertips paused on the keyboard, the man who couldn’t even be bothered to lift an eyelid suddenly looked up at her.
The flight attendant stepped forward and apologized, “I’m filly sorry, Mr. Mullen We’ll take care of it right away.
Before I could finish speaking, I saw Ashton’s face light up with an incredulous smile. “Debby, what a coincidence!”
The flight attendant looked somewhat dumbfounded, hesitating whether or not to let Deborah leave, Just then, the chief purser came over, greeted Ashton politely, and called her away.
Deborah looked at him with her icy gaze, her face full of caution. “What do you mean by ‘coincidence?”
Upon further thought, Ashton didn’t feel that this could be explained away as mere coincidence.
He hesitated slightly, then tentatively asked her, “So, did you come looking for me on purpose because you have something to discuss?”
Deborah didn’t want to waste time talking to him, as she suspected that this man most likely had ill intentions.
Now that Joseph is not around, she went to Oceanview City with Ashton.
What if, after getting off the plane, he pesters her or even does something to her? What should she do then?
For such a person, one cannot help but speculate with the utmost malice,
Deborah immediately turned around, ready to get off the plane, and called a flight attendant over. “I need to change my flight. Can I still leave now?”
The plane was about to take off soon, and the cabin doors were already closed.
The flight attendant stepped forward to dissuade her, “Ma’am, we can’t go back down now. Are you facing any difficulties? Do you need any assistance?”
Deborah took out her phone, ready to call Joseph.
Seeing her like this, Ashton finally spoke up to explain, “Debby, this really is a misunderstanding. I didn’t intentionally book the same night as you, and I have no intention of making things difficult for you.”
Ashton thought about it for a moment and figured out the reason.
It must be Joseph’s older brother Chandler who did the good deed.
It would be unbelievable if Deborah could trust him.
A few people were at an impasse when a man strode over from not far away.
The flight attendant looked over and saw Steven walking towards her.
What a day it is today, as all of these people have gathered together by chance.
Steven walked over with a smile and greeted Ashton, “Mr. Mullen, Ms. Shepherd, what a coincidence. I have some business matters to discuss with you, Mr. Mullen.”
Deborah couldn’t get off the plane now either. Seeing Steven approaching, she immediately felt as it she had grasped at
lifeline.
“Mr. Moxley, my seat is right next to Ashton. Would you like to switch seats with me?”
With a grateful expression, Steven smiled and said, “That’s wonderful, I don’t want to cause any trouble for Ms. Shepherd. My seat is over there, please allow the flight attendant to guide you.”
Deborah quickly and efficiently gathered her belongings, ready to follow the flight attendant to Steven’s seat.
She thought to herself, this doesn’t seem very safe either.
Once the plane lands in Oceanview City, it will be thousands of miles away from Richmond. What if Ashton makes
things difficult for her?
As I was thinking, Steven spoke up again, “By the way, after arriving in Oceanview City, I need to make a trip to Jingron Design to meet Mr. Wayland.
I’m not very familiar with Oceanview City, so after we get off the plane, I wonder if it would be convenient for Ms. Shepherd to show me the way?”
Deborah was no fool. With Steven having said so much, it was clear that it wasn’t all just a coincidence; he was
actually helping her.
She gratefully nodded right away, “Great, I’m actually heading to the office too.”
Steven politely smiled and watched her follow the flight attendant away before sitting down in Deborah’s seat.
He had no intention of discussing business on the plane; he was simply bringing the child along. When he saw
Deborah, she was the one who asked him to come over.
After taking Steven’s seat, Deborah couldn’t help but feel tense knowing that Ashton was not far away. She had no desire to sleep or do anything else.
I took out my phone, wanting to send a message to Joseph. I thought about how it had been three years since he last went to the Black Group. Today was his first day back, and there must be a lot of executives keeping an eye op ཉ༠༠ག
him.
