Looking at Sawyer’s resigned expression, Miranda didn’t know what he was imagining in his brain right now. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but feel a little speechless.

At 3:00 pm, the boarding announcement sounded over the speakers.

After boarding, Sawyer walked around the economy–class cabin twice but couldn’t find Miranda. It wasn’t until the cabin doors closed and all the passengers were seated that he spotted her in business class.

“Miranda? Aren’t you flying in economy? I…”

He had also bought an economy ticket this time, only to find her in business class.

Miranda couldn’t help but laugh. “Who told you was flying economy?”

“Didn’t you sit in economy on the way here?”

“Because the business and first–class tickets were sold out then. Only economy tickets were left.”

But this time, there were business–class tickets available.

Sawyer was at a loss for words.

Miranda said meaningfully, “You see, you don’t know me at all. You’re just caught up own delusions and imagination.”

Sawyer slumped back into his seat. Economy class was truly uncomfortable. Not only was there no legroom, but the seats were hard and uncomfortable. The air was also filled with the stuffy smell from so many people crammed together in a small space.

Once the flight stabilized, he called for a flight attendant immediately. “I want to upgrade to business class!‘

“I’m sorry, sir, but the business class seats are fully booked. We can’t process an upgrade for you.”

“Not even for a diamond member?” Sawyer was starting to lose his patience.

“I’m very sorry…” The flight attendant looked troubled. “There is one seat left in first class. We could upgrade you to that. Would you like that?”

“Fine, do it!”

Sitting with Miranda was no longer important. What mattered was getting out of economy class!

As the sun set, the flight landed at the Elgerson Airport in the evening. Miranda used the VIP

channel and quickly retrieved her luggage. Sawyer had upgraded his seat, so he exited alongside her.

He caught up to her with a smile. “Miranda, it’s getting late. How about I treat you to dinner?”

“There’s no need, thanks.”

“Then, let me drive you home?”

“It’s unnecessary.”

Sawyer suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Why not? Is it that no matter what I do, you will find it unnecessary and refuse to accept it?”

Miranda frowned and replied honestly, “Because my boyfriend is coming to pick me up. Using your logic, does that mean I must gladly accept it no matter what you do? Do I have no room to refuse or reject your offer?”

“I didn’t mean it that way…”

“But the way you phrased it implies just that. Why should I? What is our relationship? If you offer, does that mean I’m obligated to accept it?”

With that, she quickened her pace and refused to linger any longer.

Paul had texted to say that he had already arrived ten minutes ago.

Sawyer lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

Boyfriend… Again with that boyfriend! He was determined to see where this boyfriend came from.

At the domestic arrival hall, Miranda spotted Paul in the crowd as soon as she exited the gates. He was too striking with his tall stature and handsome looks. Although he was dressed in a simple white shirt and slacks, his mere presence commanded the attention of the room.

The moment Paul saw Miranda, his serious features softened into a smile, and his usual calm gaze lit up with happiness.

“Mimi…” He opened his arms toward her.

Miranda let go of her luggage and ran into his embrace with a smile.

Paul steadied her luggage with his foot and wrapped his arms securely around her. The couple embraced each other tightly amidst the bustling crowd at the airport.

Just then, Sawyer walked out of the gate and witnessed the scene. Caught off guard, his eyes widened in shock.
