A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 43

As soon as Colby entered the VIP lounge, his eyes caught sight of a woman in a white sleeveless lace top and black skirt sitting in a corner. She was also wearing a bucket hat, sunglasses, and a face mask. She looked so fashionable yet mysterious. No one could tell what she exactly looked like. But Colby had recognized her at once.

When Maria saw Colby, she raised her left hand and waved at him. She was wearing a branded watch and a bracelet on her wrist.

Colby tidied up his suit and walked towards her. He then sat down beside her and asked, "Did I make you wait for too long?"

Under the face mask, Maria's red lips curved into a smile. She then replied in a euphemistic and sweet voice, "Nope. I've just arrived."

Colby was quite satisfied with Maria's attitude and appearance. As a matter of fact, he was a little disappointed that she had her period. He couldn't make a move on her although they would be together for two days.

But he was not in a hurry. There could still be other opportunities in the future. What mattered now was that he could be with her. In less than ten minutes, they boarded the plane one after another.

When they entered the first-class cabin, Colby happened to meet an acquaintance, so he told Maria to find her seat first.

A stewardess then led Maria. There were only eight seats in there, so it wasn't that difficult to find it.

Her seat number was 3, and Colby's was behind her.

Maria didn't mind Colby at all. She knew that as a well-known businessman, he would definitely meet some acquaintances during the flight. So when the plane was about to take off, Maria decided to take a nap. She had just closed her eyes when she heard Colby's voice. "Hello, Mr. Xi! What a coincidence!"

Maria's eyes opened wide in surprise at once. She knew that the man Colby greeted was James. She wanted to roll her eyes. Did they really have to be on the same plane?

Eventually, Maria decided to stand up. She turned around, smiled, and greeted James, who was shaking hands with Colby. "Good afternoon, Mr. Xi!"

When James saw Maria, he glanced at Colby calmly. He immediately guessed who she was with.

He just nodded to her lightly and sat in the seat next to hers.

Although the seats were wide and spacious, Maria was still overjoyed to see James sitting beside her. She felt like she was so blessed.

Colby, on the other hand, couldn't help but slightly frown. Since he was the one who asked Maria to go with him, he felt like he gave her and James an opportunity to be together.

Lorenzo, who was with James, sat next to Colby at the back. But he didn't mind who was sitting beside him. Instead, he enjoyed his comfortable and cozy seat.

Maria had been wanting to start a conversation with James, but she restrained herself a little. After all, she was with a different man on this trip.

When the stewardess started to serve drinks and fruits to passengers, Maria took some fruits. She then switched on the screen in front of her, chose a movie, and watched leisurely.

Before the movie started, she took a glance at James, who was now reading a document. Then she heard the stewardess ask him if he needed anything in a more enthusiastic tone.

Maria snorted before putting on the headphones. She then leaned against the back of her seat and focused on the movie.

The flight from L Country to T Country was about two hours. She could finish the movie, and she could eat a lot of fruits that would be good to replenish herself. But thirty minutes later, Maria felt the call of nature. So she took off the headphones and stood up to go to the restroom.

It was only then that she noticed that James was not in his seat.

When she turned to look at Colby, he was sleeping soundly under a blanket.

Maria just shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the restroom.

There were two restrooms in the first-class cabin. One of them was empty, and the other one was occupied.

She didn't enter the empty restroom. Instead, she leaned against the wall and patiently waited for the person in the occupied one to come out.
