Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 756: He Actually Said Thank You
"Alright."
Under everyone’s gaze, a single syllable came from Jasper Sinclair’s thin lips.
Some were pleased, others worried.
The group didn’t even pack their suitcases and was already on the highway to the airport.
There wasn’t much to pack anyway; after all, they came only with the people.
Terminal 2.
As she climbed the gangway step by step, Nora Northwood held no illusions about what she’d face upon returning to the country.
All she could think about was how to make Grandma Sinclair accept Jasper’s amnesia.
The private business jet took off from Melbourne Airport, piercing through soft clouds to greet the dawn light.
Nora Northwood, Lily Sloan, Jasper Sinclair, Peach Bell... they took their seats one by one, the crew never having seen this plane carry more than three people before.
The atmosphere was exceptionally subtle, with only the sound of breathing left in the still air.
The cabin temperature was ideal, much warmer than Melbourne’s climate yet not too warm, giving a perfect feeling.
When the plane gradually became stable, Nora retrieved her phone from her pocket.
She replied to a few inquiry messages on WeChat for business, then informed Raina Sinclair about the return.
There was an unavoidable conference call that required her immediate attention.
Nora connected her Bluetooth headset, focusing her mind entirely on work.
A flight attendant came out with a fruit platter and juice, couldn’t resist the bizarre atmosphere, and asked, "Director Sinclair, would you like a blanket?"
It took a few seconds for Jasper to realize they were asking him.
He shook his head and said thank you.
Thank you?
The flight attendant was stunned... her brain started racing, wondering if she did anything wrong because she actually heard the big boss say thank you!
Nora’s gaze lingered, as if the sun had risen in the west.
"Master Nora, can you hear me clearly?"
The inquiry came through the Bluetooth earpiece, and Nora refocused on the meeting, "Clearly, you may begin."
"Alright, today’s meeting is primarily to report to you about the next quarter’s fragrance line..."
The meeting officially began, and Nora shifted to a more comfortable position, resting one hand on her chin while the other draped over the leather armrest.
The opening courtesies were rather uninspiring.
...
Thirty thousand feet in the air, Jasper Sinclair felt no joy about returning home.
He really disliked a life filled with unknowns.
So, he showed no expression throughout the journey, anyway, everyone was used to it.
The ten-hour journey was exceedingly torturous.
The sofa beneath them could actually be reclined to 180 degrees.
However, other than the show’s crew and Nora, no one knew about this feature.
Thus, during the long ten hours, no one closed their eyes.
The small table’s fruit platter was replaced again and again, yet remained untouched, though Lily swallowed several times but was too embarrassed to reach out.
The light outside the porthole shifted from bright to dim.
The business jet landed at Stanton City Airport at 7 PM that night, returning to midsummer.
The business jet had a designated parking apron and shuttle bus.
It was called a bus, but its appearance and structural design were more like a deluxe version of a nanny van.
The driver on the bus was staring intently at the gangway of the business jet.
Over a dozen minutes passed before any figures appeared, the captain, the flight attendant... the driver was puzzled, why was the crew coming out first this time?
The more perplexing matter was yet to come.
