Flight 2
Mason studied her for a moment, her calm face laced with hidden tension. Even when she tried to hide, he could clearly see through her. Without a word Mason leaned back in his own seat, allowing the silence to settle between them.A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned with his order.“Sir—” she paused, her eyes briefly flicking to Cleopatra, whose eyes now fluttered open. “Here is your request.”Cleopatra turned slowly toward Mason, and their eyes met.‘Is she jealous?’ Mason thought.Ignoring the momentary awkwardness, he asked softly, “Are you hungry?”Cleopatra nodded.Mason turned to the attendant. “Could I get another? My girlfriend will be having this.”He took the tray from the attendant and placed it gently in front of Cleopatra.“Oh,” the attendant said, her gaze lingering on Cleopatra for a second before returning to Mason. “Right away, sir.”Cleopatra lifted the wine glass, took a sip, and frowned; then her eyes lit up, but she quickly replaced her expression,
Flight 1
The first-class cabin flourished with luxury, its amber lights glowing along the ceiling, reflecting off the wood panels and cream colored leather seats, which were wide enough to feel like small thrones. The air lingered faintly of lavender and something expensive he couldn’t name. As Mason stepped into the section, his pace slowed, not out of hesitation. Despite being the youngest richest man in Aleric City, this was his first time flying not only first class but also on a plane. In the past, he was always too busy with work and school activities, but now it is different.He adjusted the cuff of his jacket, suddenly aware of how quiet everything was compared to the economy section behind him. No crowding or raised voices, just murmured conversations and the subtle hum of luxury. He found his seat by the window, and a smile appeared on his face. Mason placed his stuff beside him, then slid into the plush leather chair.The seat seemed to mold around him, probably among the many reas
Hidden Consequences
“Natalia, move,” Jacob muttered, nudging at her as the line surged forward. “You’re holding people up,” he added, pulling his gaze from the direction she was staring. Even when Mason Williams had disappeared, the frown on his face didn't soften.“Sorry,” she murmured, forcing her feet to move. Around them, students buzzed with different gossip, as most of them didn't care if Jacob overheard them. “Did you see that watch earlier?” a group of students who were still invested in Mason watched muttering through the slow line.“Who would have thought the Mason we used to know would be lucky to be gifted a watch like that?”“If anyone gives me such a present, I will definitely marry him,” a girl beside them chuckled, making Jacob’s frown deepen.“Why don't you befriend him? Maybe you will get lucky,” another girl teased.The girl heaved a sigh. “I think it's too late; befriending him now would look suspicious, and with a competition like this, I can't compete for his attention.”More whis
VIP Tickets
Beyond the glass walls, the aircraft gleamed beneath the runway lights, its massive body humming softly, patient and imposing.From the direction of the plane, a lanky, tall man descended the mobile stairs with unhurried confidence. His uniform was immaculate, and the badge of Williams Airline was clipped neatly to his chest. In his left hand, he held an iPad, the glowing Williams logo unmistakable against the dark screen.He stopped just before the gate, lifting the iPad slightly as his calm voice carried over the students.“If you check your flight ticket, you’ll find your seating arrangement, and within a few minutes you will be assisted into the plane,” he said, wearing a professional smug. “If you believe there’s an issue with your seat, please notify airport staff before boarding. Thank you.”Several students nodded, quickly unfolding tickets again. Others leaned toward their friends, whispering seat numbers and giggling as they scanned the crowd for potential seatmates. For man
Tongue-tied
The boy looked up, pointing at Mason’s watch as if it might burn him. “It’s registered! A limited edition of the Paul Newman Daytona registry.” The words landed like a verdict, and Jacob froze. “No,” he said flatly. “That’s impossible.”The seller let out a low, humorless chuckle. He folded his arms, while his eyes fixed on Mason with a knowing look. He had been in Aleric City far too long and had watched too many men hide fortunes behind plain shirts and quiet manners to be fooled by appearances. The students might see a poor boy in borrowed clothes, but he saw a concealed empire.“What is it Jacob?” Mason muttered almost calmly that Jacob’s leg shivered not from cold but from the sudden realization creeping in. His face drained of color as the truth settled in. The humiliation he had planned so carefully, with every insult rehearsed, has failed.Around them, the students buzzed with whispers and murmurs and one thing was sure; their tone had changed from that of suspicion to admir
Heavy Silence
Jacob scoffed, shaking his wrist so the light reflected on his own watch. “Can you hear this guy?” he said, laughing with forced confidence. “Paul Newman, unique piece? What nonsense. All original Rolexes look like this; clean, shiny, and not whatever that thing is,” he added, thrusting his wrist forward arrogantly.The crowd of students panned their gaze on the details of Jacob's watch with admiration. When Jacob raised the shopping bag of the other watch, he smiled.“You know there is no shame in admitting your mistake, Mason.” His grin widened, scanning his face for any kind of reaction.Mason didn’t move; rather, he simply stood there, with his hands relaxed at his sides. There was no irritation on his face, no need to defend himself. If anything, he looked rather amused, as though he was watching a child throw stones at the ocean.He knows the origin of Jacob's newfound confidence, and as much as he would like to terminate the contract just to crumble Jacob's wings, this was more
