Damn those rough guys! He'd told them not to hurt her but why it still happened? “Does it hurt?” He looked concerned.
“You sent those guys to stop me! Come off it! Stop shedding crocodile tears.” Sylvia gnashed.
Seemingly, she couldn't get away with it today, and she had no other choice but to take the plane he flew.
Franklin checked the time. The plane would take off at 7 p.m. and it was still early.
Then he grabbed her and headed for the small meeting room before the take-off.
They went past the airport lounges and got to the staff passage in the back.
Franklin held her hand all the way. He was tall and handsome, while she was pretty and delicate, so they drew lots of attention by walking together.
Darcie and Elsa were preparing for the take-off of the flight.
They looked back unconsciously when they heard the footsteps, only to see a tall and straight guy coming in with a slender woman hand in hand.
Darcie was stunned with her eyes widely open.
“Captain Franklin, only the crew members are allowed to enter the meeting room, right?” In the morning, she'd sent a letter to inform Tiffany to pester Franklin and make him sick with her.
But why was he with Sylvia again? Tiffany had made her sick yesterday when she called Franklin by the pet name. She thought she must do something to deal with Tiffany, otherwise, she wouldn't be resigned to it.
As expected, Tiffany called her in the afternoon, complaining about how Franklin had told her off harshly.
And she was overjoyed to hear that! She swore she would make Franklin disgusted with Sylvia, as well as Tiffany.
Any woman who craved Franklin must go to hell! Franklin glanced at Darcie coldly, “Who are you? What are you to speak?” Darcie’s face went pale and her heart contracted.
Franklin never remembered her name though she had worked with him for so long! She was choked with his words and went breathless.
Franklin looked at Elsa with intimidating eyes, “Bring the medical kit over.” Elsa went for the medical kit in the meeting room instantly, while Franklin held Sylvia's hand and took her to sit down on the sofa.
Very soon, Elsa came back with the medical kit. She heard Franklin's voice when she was about to open it, “Leave us.” Elsa was stunned and stepped aside instantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFranklin opened the medical kit with his big and slender hands and took out the ointment for traumatic injuries.
Darcie was pissed off and goggled at them. What? A man as noble as Franklin was gonna serve Sylvia personally? Was he kidding her? She felt anger surging up inside her chest.
Sylvia raised her eyes and happened to meet Darcie’s eyes which were filled with hatred and jealousy. Then she smiled lightly.
As expected, Darcie had a crush on Franklin. Jeez! With an extremely handsome face, Franklin was really a disastrous human being! Deliberately or unconsciously, she screamed out softly when Franklin applied the ointment to the wound of her wrist.
“Does it hurt?” Franklin said anxiously.
“Alittle,” Sylvia nodded and said in a soft voice.
Franklin went absent-minded for a second. It had been ages since he heard her soft and sweet voice last time.
He massaged softly on her wound with his finger pulps. He kept massaging it for quite a while and then let go of her wrist.
When she thought she'd been set free, Sylvia was surprised to see Franklin take out the gauze from the medical kit and wrap it gently around her wrist. In the end, he tied a small bow knot on it.
“OK. It won't hurt again,” Franklin said lightly.
Sylvia stared at him speechlessly.
He sent the guys to fight with her, but now he was so soft and tender to her.
What a mercurial man! “I'll punish them harshly and revenge for you.” Suddenly, there was a cold look on his handsome face.
Sylvia was lost for words.
He could bring himself to punish his henchmen when he was ruthless.
He was indeed impressed! While she was thinking, she saw Franklin grab the phone, call Blaine, and question him powerfully, “Blaine, you hurt her. How dare you!” “Take all your men to work as miners in South Akas for three months! Go now!” Blaine couldn't believe it and felt bitter. Sylvia had beaten them up and they still had to be punished. What a sad story! “Mr. Maskelyne, who will protect you for the coming three months?” “It's none of your concern.” Franklin hung up the phone.
Sylvia touched her nose. In fact, she didn’t get the short end of the stick today.
Darcie sat down on her seat, feeling shocked.
Captain Franklin was backing Sylvia up? Her heart was leaping rapidly, and her mind was blank. She stared at Franklin’s hand that was holding Sylvia's, and wished she could go up and split them up! She couldn't take it or see it anymore. Then she closed her eyes, opened them again, and ran out of the meeting room.
At 7 p.m., Franklin finished the routine work.
He went up to Sylvia, took her hand hard, and held it more tightly.
He dragged her closer to him and said in a low voice, “Have you decided where to visit in Sneland?” Sylvia stamped on him and smiled naughtily when she saw him frown, “Sorry, | didn’t mean to.” Visit? She didn’t want to visit any place there! While she was talking, she shrank back on the seat to distance herself from Franklin.
Franklin remained indifferent as usual, and Sylvia was like a normal passenger.
Darcie saw them flirting not far away and got really upset.
Elsa didn’t bother to care about her and thought Darcie was so stubborn to admire and love Franklin only. And, no one could do anything with it.
Franklin got in the cockpit and double checked everything for the flight.
He informed the ground service and got ready to receive the passengers.
Elsa stood by the boarding gate and greeted the passengers one by one.
The other stewardesses did their jobs and helped the passengers board the plane.
Elsa shut the boarding gate after she had confirmed the last passenger boarded and everything was fine.
Then she informed Franklin and the co-pilot Cooper in the cockpit.
But only one minute later, there came Franklin’s mellow voice from the cockpit, “Inform all the passengers on board that the plane will take off in one hour because of the air traffic flow management.” Every crew member looked bad to hear the news, but they had to cheer up and tell the passengers the news.
After that, they began giving out food and desserts and tried to calm the passengers down.
The passengers were getting impatient and annoyed. Some of them complained. Some of them cursed, even with four-letter words.
Elsa trotted to the cockpit.
And, Franklin and Cooper seemed to have been used to air traffic flow management.
Franklin knew what Elsa wanted as soon as he saw her.
He looked gloomy and told her, “During the air traffic flow management, the control tower either ignores the calls or says they don't know. So, | have no idea when we can take off. It's the control tower's call.” “OK, | see, Franklin, but could you please explain it to the passengers?” Elsa knew Franklin's way of working.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFranklin nodded.
Sylvia was sitting in her seat in boredom. Surrounded by the passengers who were complaining, she heard Franklin's voice from the radio broadcasting the moment she saw Elsa coming out of the cockpit.
His voice sounded deep and mellow. He said it in Curesh first, then he said it again in fluent Emkathi.
His voice was so sexy and tempting that it calmed everyone down in a flash.
Sylvia even saw a teenage girl getting very excited with her eyes sparkling with admiration. “Oh my! What a sexy voice!” The passengers quieted down because of Franklin’s broadcast.
Sylvia held her chin with one hand, listened to his broadcast, and raised her eyebrows.
"It's amazing that those girls have a crush on him just after hearing his voice." About half an hour later, the soothing effect of Franklin's broadcast was gone. The passengers got annoyed and uneasy again.
“They said the plane would take off in one hour! Now it’s been one and a half an hour! What's holding up now?” A middle-aged woman stood up in annoyance and yelled at Elsa.
“What the hell is wrong with you guys? Tell the captain to come out!” shouted another young man.
Elsa put on a fake smile and apologized, “Sorry...” But that middle-aged woman pulled and pushed Elsa abruptly before she could finish speaking. It happened all at once and every stewardess was frightened.
Seeing someone resorting to force, the rest of the passengers became bolder and came at Elsa. Worse enough, some of them even kicked her.
What was worst was that some guys rushed towards the door of the cockpit and tried to break in.
Sylvia heard the noise and couldn't help but look back, only to find Elsa being attacked by the passengers.
She ran over to Elsa immediately and guarded Elsa behind her back. As a result, the middle-aged woman slapped Sylvia on her red and swollen wrist.
Sylvia felt the sharp pain in the wrist, gritted her teeth, and shouted at the other stewardesses who had been scared out, “What are you doing? Call 911! Tell Franklin! Now!” Until then, Darcie and the others recovered themselves and did as Sylvia said.
After that, Sylvia checked on Elsa and found her arms bleeding severely. What a bloody scene! But the passengers were still agitated and annoyed, and they didn't feel sorry for what they had done to Elsa.
“To be responsible for your lives and safety, the captain chose not to take off under the air traffic flow management. What the hell do you want to do?" Sylvia said with rage.
She had a good impression of Elsa and the latter was nice to her, so she couldn't bear to see Elsa get hurt.
Sylvia's clear and cold voice echoed in the cabin, which had attracted almost all the passengers’ attention.
They were stunned when they saw her face clearly. What a gorgeous woman! She looked more stunning than the movie stars.
