Chapter 44 - 44: Help Him Cover with a Blanket
On the ultra-luxurious private plane bound for Pacifica Island.
Enna experienced what it truly meant to be luxurious again! The most advanced equipment, low-key but lavish decor, a fully furnished space with a TV and a sofa. If not for the beautiful Flight Attendants walking around, Enna would have thought she was in a Presidential Suite of a seven-star hotel.
It was Enna’s first time on such a luxurious plane, with so many people waiting on her. She felt uneasy, sitting up straight on the sofa like an elementary school student.
Baron Lawrence had his laptop open since he got on the plane, with earbuds in his ears, occasionally speaking into the microphone. He was speaking in the Country W’s language, and Enna could only understand a few simple words; the rest sounded like gibberish to her.
Seeing her bored, a beautiful Flight Attendant came over, bent down with a perfect smile on her face, and asked, “Miss Clark, would you like a blanket?” Enna didn’t feel cold, but she couldn’t refuse, politely saying, “Please give me one.”
She glanced at the man still in the video conference, pursed her lips, and changed her request, “Well, please give me two.”
“Alright.”
With a gentle smile, the Flight Attendant straightened up and went into the cabin.
Soon, she came out with two blankets.
“Miss Clark, here are the blankets you asked for, would you like me to cover you?”
“No, no need.”
Still not used to being attended to, Enna politely declined her assistance and took the blankets. After receiving them, she noticed the Flight Attendant also prepared two eye masks for her.
Enna covered her legs with one of the blankets. Looking at the other, she felt conflicted.
Should she directly give it to Baron Lawrence?
He might think she’s trying to ingratiate herself with him again.
What if she doesn’t give it to him?
It doesn’t seem right not to give it to him since she asked for it.
Enna looked at the blanket in her hand, gritted her teeth, and decided to hand it over anyway. She was just simply offering help as a companion; whatever he thought was not her concern.
Having made up her mind, Enna relaxed a bit. She handed him the blanket, “Do you want this?”
His video conference was interrupted, and Baron Lawrence’s first reaction was annoyance. However, seeing the blanket, any anger vanished without a trace. He gestured for a pause on the video, took off his earpiece, and focused his gaze on the young woman’s face, his voice hoarse, “Cover me with it.”
‘Why don’t you do it yourself,” Enna was exasperated. After all, he had hands, and it was just a blanket.
What a theatrical woman! Was it such a big deal for her to cover him with a blanket? Why make a fuss?
“I want you to cover me with it!” So domineering, so commanding! Enna had no choice but to stand, unfold the blanket, and cover his legs.
Mission accomplished!
Just as she was about to say “alright,” her wrist was caught, and she stumbled into the man’s embrace.
“What are you doing?” Her hands pushed against his chest, struggling to stand up.
“Keep quiet!” Baron Lawrence wasn’t about to let her up, forcefully holding her in his arms. He reopened the laptop, put on his earpiece, and with a touch of his thin lips, said to the people on the video conference, “La Commission poursuit (The meeting continues).”
With her back to the video, unable to break free and unwilling to speak up, Enna could only stare blankly at the man above her..
