124 124- Geena’s Flight

“So where are you traveling to?” A young man in his early twenties asked Geena when she was standing outside the airport. [1

Nina was giving some instructions to her men about taking care of her things behind her back.

“I’m going Kanderton, Geena replied to him with a sweet smile and saw Nina Sinclair’s men nodding wildly at her.

The guy who was talking to her gazed at Nina Sinclair with interest, “Who is she? Your mom?”

Geena who was too busy observing her boss turned to the boy with an embarrassed smile. She was about to say no but then changed her mind.

“Y…Yes. She is my mom,”

“Seems like an intimidating fellow, his eyes traveled to Nina and then were back on Genna’s face.

“N…No. she is sweet. Sometimes quite strict but very sweet, Geena liked the attention this guy was giving her. She was already having second thoughts about the decision to travel with Nina.

The boss who used to be sweet to her, had now turned into a dragon in these last few days and had started objecting to anything Geena did.

She had started disliking the coffee, Geena made and wasn’t pleased with her color combination. suggestions either.

“Got it,” the boy nodded and then took out his phone from his pocket, “Can I have your contact

number?”

Geena felt uneasy though he was attractive. He must have sensed because he quickly stopped a porter and asked for a pen.

Taking Geena’s hand in his, he wrote his contact number on her palm, “Contact me if you want. I like you,

Miss…”

“Geena,” she finished for him.

“Yeah, Geena. And I’m…” poor boy couldn’t finish it when Nina started calling her secretary in a

shrill voice.

“Geena! Geena! Let’s go. We are getting late!”

Geene quickly pulled back her hand from the boy’s grip and walked away without giving the boy a chance to say goodbye.

Nina Sinclair didn’t know that today would be the most embarrassing travel of her life. Maybe she made a mistake and miscalculated Geena’s intelligence.

While approaching the boarding area, Geena was so preoccupied with the thoughts of this imposed travel that she instinctively stopped at the economy counter,

“What on earth are you doing?” Nina hissed, exasperated at the fact that she had to teach Geena everything like a Montessori kid.

“Did I do something wrong?” The girl asked her innocently.

“We’re flying business class. Over there. She held Geena’s elbow quite tightly this time and guided her to the other counter.

Geena’s face reddened as she felt Nina’s grip on her arm. It hurts, man.

“I… I’m sorry, Nina… I was.

as… just…”

“No excuses, Nina cut her off, “Just move,”

Later they settled into their business–class seats, and Geena decided to do everything carefully.

You can do it. You can do it. You are a good girl. You are a good secretary. If you can keep your boss happy in the office, you can do anything. Just be confident…

She was repeating the mantra again and again in her head.

However, today fate seemed against her.

The flight attendant came by with the beverage cart. Geena had traveled before, but she thought the business class was supposed to be more classy. It must have more options. No?

“What’s so special about business class, Nina?” she asked her boss, “this is the same cart that they use for economy class,” She informed her boss in a whisper.

Nina gritted her teeth but didn’t say anything. These were the same questions she asked herself when she traveled with Rafael’s father for the first time in business class.

“Can I have coffee?” Geena asked the attendant and reached for that cup with a little excitement. As a result, the cup tipped, spilling coffee on her lap.

“Good grief, Geena. Stop embarrassing me. Can you try not to draw attention like this?” Nina ran a conscious glance around her. Thankfully no one noticed the mishap except the air hostess who brought them a napkin in a flash.

“I’m so sorry, Nina. It was an accident, Geena stammered, blotting at her dress with a napkin.

“No. It wasn’t an accident, Nina replied icily, “it’s unacceptable, Geena. You need to get a grip and act like you belong here, you fool!”

Geena wanted to die. The insult was too much to bear.

She stayed quiet and didn’t offer any further explanations to her boss. She wasn’t aware of why she was being jumpy.

Maybe the news that Nina is thinking of marrying her off to her handsome son.

“God! I’m stuck in a situation.”

“Miss. Please pass it on,” the attendant passed her a tray carrying Nina’s favorite grilled fish and baked potato along with some salsa sauce.

Geena knew Nina was in love with grilled fish.

“Sure,” with a smile Geena held the tray and passed it to Nina. However, the tray slipped from her grasp, splattering the salsa onto Nina’s pristine dress.

Nina’s eyes widened in disbelief and Geena felt that now Nina could kill her in this flight.

“I’m… I’m… sorry. Oh God! I truly am,” this time even the flight server was looking at her oddly.

“For heaven’s sake!” Nina looked down at her dress, her face was like she was about to get a heart attack, “Can’t you do anything right?”

Another air hostess hurried over to assist, but Nina waved her off, her face had turned blotchy due to the rage she was feeling inside, “No need. My secretary seems to think it’s her job to make my life difficult. I seriously don’t know what demon has taken over her head.

Geena had an extra napkin and she tried to clean Nina’s dress with shaking hands. Her lips were quivering as if she could cry any minute.

“I’m so sorry… Nina… I seriously… d…don’t know…”

Nina didn’t let her finish, her voice was low but furious, “This is not your mistake, girl. This middle–class mentality of yours, Geena. You need to overcome it. How many times do I have to remind you to use your brain? You are pathetic. I made a mistake when I hired you.”
