Chapter 408 She Has So Many Suitors Around Her?
Susanna glanced up at Aaron, who was all cool and collected next to her. She had no clue where he got the guts to head to Novaria.
She looked away. "Alright, seems like you got some guts, but seriously, keep it on the down-low. If my brothers find out you're in Novaria, you're toast."
"Are you worried about me?"
Aaron's smirk made Susanna turn her head. "Don't flatter yourself. You're Lillian's dad. If something happens to you, it's gonna be a mess to explain."
She wasn't worried about Aaron at all.
Just then, a cute flight attendant rolled up with a food cart. "Ms. Jones, Mr. Abbott, want something to eat or drink? Here's the menu."
Susanna grabbed the menu and ordered a steak and some fruit without much thought.
The flight attendant crouched next to Aaron and said sweetly, "Mr. Abbott, since you're heading to Novaria, here are some local dishes you might like."
Aaron, not wanting to bother, just went with her suggestions.
The flight attendant beamed and asked, "Mr. Abbott, are you going to Novaria for business or fun? I'm from there too. I could give you some tips if you want."
Susanna, munching on her food, looked at Aaron and said, "Why not take her with you when we land? Having a local guide could be handy."
The flight attendant's eyes sparkled, and she nodded eagerly. "Mr. Abbott, I'd love to help if you don't mind."
Aaron ignored the flight attendant clinging to him and turned to Susanna. "Jealous much?"
Susanna smirked. "Jealous? You think I'd be jealous?"
"Then why did you..."
"I was just making a practical suggestion. It's up to you to take it or leave it. Confidence is good, but too much of it is just arrogance."
As Susanna finished, she spotted someone familiar.
She waved at a handsome guy in uniform. "Casimir, you're flying this plane today?"
"Yeah, I'm training a newbie, so I'm the co-pilot."
Casimir walked over, looking all charming, and started chatting with Susanna in the aisle.
Aaron's face turned icy as he watched. Who was this guy? What was his deal with Susanna?
Casimir smiled and said, "Ms. Jones, I'm taking a few days off in Novaria too. Can I treat you to dinner?"
Susanna's lips curled into a smile. "Sure, dining with a handsome captain sounds great."
Susanna glanced at Aaron and said, "Mr. Abbott, can I ask you a favor?"
Aaron's lips tightened, his arrogance showing. "Shoot."
"With all these empty seats, could you move? I wanna catch up with an old friend," Susanna said.
No way!
Aaron's face turned icy. "Chatting with another guy right in front of me? Do you think I'm invisible?"
Aaron's expression was downright scary. Casimir looked between Susanna and Aaron, puzzled. "Ms. Jones, who is this?"
"I'm not familiar with him."
Aaron shot her a look. "Can you stop causing trouble?"
Susanna shot back, "You're the one causing trouble, not me."
Aaron glared at Casimir. "She's my girlfriend now. Need me to spell it out?"
Casimir chuckled. "Lots of guys claim to be Ms. Jones's boyfriend. She has to acknowledge it herself."
Aaron clenched his teeth. "You got a lot of boyfriends?"
Susanna laughed. "That's ancient history. Can't help it if being awesome attracts suitors."
Aaron's face darkened.
Casimir asked, "Ms. Jones, need my help?"
Before Susanna could answer, she felt the temperature drop around her.
For Casimir's sake, she calmly said, "Not now, thanks. See you in Novaria."
Aaron frowned. Were they seriously planning a dinner date in Novaria right in front of him?
The flight attendant hesitantly said, "Mr. Abbott?"
Aaron's expression turned frosty. "Get lost!" he snapped.
The flight attendant, sensing the tension, quickly left, not wanting to stir the pot.
Susanna sat calmly, munching on her fruit, feeling Aaron's intense gaze.
She turned her head and said innocently, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Aaron gritted his teeth. "What do you think?"
Susanna smirked. "I know I'm a natural beauty, but go ahead and look. I won't charge you."
Her words made Aaron fume.
Aaron tugged at his tie and glared at Susanna. "Four years apart, and you still know how to push my buttons."
"I told you I have amnesia. I don't remember anything from before."
"Even with amnesia, you haven't forgotten how to be annoying."
Susanna raised an eyebrow. "Really? My brothers say I have a great personality. Maybe you're the problem."
Aaron fell silent.
After dinner, Tyler handed Aaron some documents to review.
Susanna, feeling bored, glanced at the papers and saw "Velvet Sky Ballroom."
Was it really the Velvet Sky Ballroom resort?
Seeing this, Susanna remembered the Abbott family wanted to collaborate with her before, but it got put on hold because of the bone marrow issue.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have info on Velvet Sky Ballroom? Planning to collaborate with them?"
