“I just want to get home.”
Marcus opened his mouth to respond.
Before he could say anything, another employee appeared at the front of the cabin.
She stopped when she saw Naomi.
Her face changed immediately.
“Ms. Caldwell?”
Naomi turned.
“Yes?”
The employee looked at the captain.
Then at Victoria.
Then back at Naomi.
“I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had already boarded.”
Victoria frowned.
“What is going on?”
The employee ignored the question.
She walked toward Naomi.
“Ms. Caldwell, your private transportation is ready once we land. And the board has already confirmed your arrival.”
Victoria's expression changed.
“Ms. Caldwell?”
Naomi nodded.
The employee continued.
“Also, the CEO's office called twice. They said the entire team is waiting for your instructions regarding the Skybridge acquisition.”
Silence filled the cabin.
Victoria stared at Naomi.
Marcus didn't move.
The young flight attendant slowly covered her mouth.
Naomi stood.
She didn't announce her wealth.
She didn't boast about her company.
She simply picked up her leather folder.
Then she looked at Victoria.
“You were right about one thing,” Naomi said.
Victoria blinked.
Naomi continued.
“First class isn't about the clothes someone wears.”
She paused.
