Throughout the flight, Alison found reasons to visit Robin’s seat, each time bringing something new–a cup of tea, a plate of fruit, even an extra blanket when she thought he might need it.
Passengers around them began to take notice, their glances turning into murmurs.
Alison’s attention toward Robin was unmistakable, a display that set her apart from the usual aloofness of the crew.
Before long, frustration rippled through the cabin.
A few passengers shifted in their seats, muttering complaints about the apparent favoritism.
One man turned to a flight attendant and asked, with more than a little curiosity, “Is he her boyfriend or something?”
Alison fielded each comment and calmed every pointed look with practiced ease, deflecting concerns and putting out small fires as they arose.
After years in the air, she knew exactly how to handle complaints.
And yet, today, even she felt a hint of unease. It wasn’t in her nature to act like this.
Why was she doing this? Deep down, Alison knew the answer. She wanted to erase any resentment Robin might still harbor toward her.
She remembered the last flight too well, when she’d allowed Ashley’s words to taint her view of Robin. She’d judged him, assuming he was little more than a man with connections to Stephanie, the older woman who had met him. She had, for a brief moment, dismissed him as some lucky playboy.
But Terenova had shown her the truth.
Robin was far more than he appeared, a man whose quiet influence stretched far and whose patience had its limits. Ashley, with his father’s small position in the Harmonfield government, had no idea who he was provoking.
If Ashley ever tried anything against Robin in Harmonfield, he’d only end up exposing his own foolishness. Robin would ruin him with barely a word, and his father’s modest influence would be nowhere near enough to save him.
He was every bit as clueless as those self–important souls in Terenova who had crossed Robin and paid dearly for it.
In this world, many individuals overestimate their importance, blind to the disgrace that lies ahead.
Alison was certain that once they reached Harmonfield, Ashley would continue to cling to the delusion that his father’s modest government role granted him the right to boss around someone like Robin or seek revenge.
The very idea was ridiculous.
If Ashley pursued such a course, he would surely find himself descending into chaos.

He would probably drag his father down with him in the process.
Rosalie noticed Alison’s repeated attentiveness to Robin
She often thought about asking Robin about it but found herself hesitating each time.

It was only after Alison arrived for the tenth time, this time carrying a small bag of colorful fruit candies, that Rosalie whispered, “Robin, do you think that flight attendant has a crush on you?”
Robin laughed softly. “What she thinks is irrelevant. Whether she admires me, dislikes me, or holds me in contempt means nothing”
Rosalie’s eyes glinted with playful curiosity. “Come on, Robin. She’s attractive.
He shook his head. “Her beauty is her concern, not mine. Let’s drop the subject.
“Got it.” Rosalie playfully stuck out her tongue, chiding herself for pushing.
She understood that pressing Robin on topics he wished to avoid would only serve to provoke him.
Meanwhile, in the crew’s quarters, Alison caught sight of Ashley, who was sulking in silence. She decided to offer him a word of caution.
“Ashley, I need to advise you: don’t even entertain thoughts of revenge against Robin.
“Seriously, holding a grudge against a passenger? Doesn’t that seem a bit absurd to you?
“Doing so will only complicate your life and burden others around you.”
Ashley let out a disdainful laugh. “I can’t stand guys who rely on others to get by.
“He doesn’t build his life through his abilities; he simply flaunts his looks and scams his way through.
“Didn’t you notice? He has another beautiful girl with him today.
“That girl looks naïve and inexperienced. It’s obvious he’s taking advantage of her innocence.”
Alison chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief. “Maybe you haven’t noticed, but he’s quite the sensation. Even major celebrities admire him.”
Ashley scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Alison, are you spinning me a fairy tale?
“Do you honestly believe any top–tier celebrities would be interested in a pretty boy like him? Are you referring to those washed–up stars over 60?”
Alison let out a long sigh. “Fine, I won’t debate this with you any longer.
“I just want to give you a heads–up. It’s best not to stir the pot with him. It’ll be better for you in the end.”
“Better for me? Are you suggesting I’m incapable of holding my own against him?” Ashley’s voice dripped with resentment.
Alison struggled to bear his arrogance.

“Yes, you truly can’t compare! He’s not just some random person!
“With your father being a mere bureaucrat….

Ashley slammed his palm onto the table, causing it to shake. “Alison, I knew you held me in contempt!
“It’s true my father works as a low–level publicity officer, but do you know who my mentor is?
“He’s the president of the Draconia Go Association. I’m one of his disciples.
“Before long, I won’t be a flight attendant anymore.
“My mentor plans to have me dive deep into Go research.
“Tell me, is that not impressive enough?
“I didn’t want to mention this earlier. I preferred to keep things low–key.
“Alison, you know I’ve had feelings for you. Don’t you think my achievements are enough to be worthy of you?”
Alison was taken aback by his sudden confession.
Yet, when she considered Robin, Ashley’s credentials felt meager.
She opted for silence.
She recognized that someone with such inflated pride would dismiss her warnings.
He would soon learn the truth about his folly.
Not long after, the plane landed at Harmonfield International Airport.
As they stepped out of the terminal, Alison rushed to catch up with Robin. “Mr. Ramsey, I want you to know that I’m also partly from Harmonfield.”
Robin acknowledged her with a courteous nod, but he didn’t pursue the conversation.
Alison continued, “My uncle is with the Eastvale Development Group. Could I take you to dinner sometime?”
Robin hesitated, surprised to discover that this flight attendant was Jonah’s niece
What a small world it truly was!
“No, thank you.”
“Robin, stop right there!”
Just as the two people were talking, a woman whom Robin despised blocked his path.
