Minerva felt that she was going to shrink into the floor.
If she could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it, she would have done so.
Now, she didn't dare to make a sound. She just sat there with her hat low, trying to be as still as possible.
She didn't know why, but the person sitting beside her suddenly stood up. She didn't know what happened, but the person quickly sat back down. Only then did Minerva relax.
Because she kept her head down all the time, she didn't know what was going on. By estimation, Maddox should have passed by her by this time.
Hence, she quietly raised her head and wanted to observe her surroundings. However, she unexpectedly met with a pair of deep, ice-cold eyes.
They looked into each other's eyes.
Silence...
Minerva's pupils dilated a little. Then, she came to her senses and gently lowered her head. She continued to curl up there as if she hadn't seen anything.
Maddox, who was seated beside her, could not help but sneer when he saw this.
"You have the guts to board the plane, but you don't dare to look at me?"
She was at a loss for words.
His voice was so sharp that it made her scalp tingle. Minerva bit her lower lip and once again slowly raised her head.
"I, I said I would go with you, but you didn't agree, so I had to... come by myself."
Maddox's lips curled up into a cold smile. "Sneaking into the plane? You even bought an economy seat?"
Minerva was speechless.
The people around stared at them. It seemed that someone recognized that they were the two people on the posters all over North City. Someone even took out her phone to secretly take a picture of them.
Minerva's expression changed slightly when she saw this. She quickly lowered her head and threw herself into his embrace.
She suddenly threw herself into his arms, leaving Maddox dazed for a moment. However, he quickly caught a glimpse of the camera out of the corner of his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the lady fiercely.
His aura was already strong, and at this moment, there was even a murderous intent in his gaze. The woman's hand immediately went weak, and her phone fell to the ground. She panicked and lowered her head to look for her phone.
Maddox turned around and looked at the little woman who was hiding in his arms. He could not help but ridicule her.
"You weren't scared to sneak into the plane, but now you are scared of this?"
She still had her head lowered. She asked in a low voice, "Are they still taking pictures?" "Look for yourself?"
Only then did she raise her head to look at the woman. When she realized that the woman was only bending down to look for her phone, she heaved a sigh of relief and covered her chest.
She then looked at his gloomy face. "Since I'm already here, you won't pull me off the plane, will you?"
Maddox was stupefied.
"Wow, you actually reminded me of such a good idea."
After speaking, he grabbed Minerva's slender and fair wrist. She was taken aback and widened her eyes in an attempt to pull her hand back.
"Are you afraid now? Why weren't you afraid when you threatened me earlier?" He got closer to her, and his gaze was sharp. The aura lingering around him had become more and more powerful.
She was dumbfounded.
