Chapter 147

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.

Franklin 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.

“A little,” 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, I 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, I

have no idea when we can take off. It's the control tower's call.”

“OK, I see, Franklin, but could you please explain it to the passengers?”

Elsa knew Franklin's way of working.

Franklin 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.
