The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 43

Jenny, sitting next to Aurelia, picked up a magazine to obscure her face and whispered, “Ms. Elowen is clearly tailing us, keeping a close eye on the big boss.”

That was a given, plain as day to anyone who cared to notice.

Aurelia gestured for her to be quiet. The last thing she wanted was to get caught in a crossfire involving the big boss.

Once the flight had taken off, a WhatsApp message from the big boss popped up: [The upper deck suite is yours. Feel free to retire whenever you want. If you're not feeling well, let me know immediately.]

[Thank you, Mr. Leopold.] She replied, maintaining a polite tone.

Leopold furrowed his brows, casting her a glance.

Just as she lifted her head, their eyes met across the cabin, sparks threatening to fly.

She quickly looked away, her gaze falling on the window, her heart pounding quietly in her chest.

It was dusk outside. The setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange and purples, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

The big boss’s mood, much like the sky, was as unpredictable as the weather, which was quite unnerving.

A stern expression crossed Leopold's handsome face.

Was she avoiding his gaze out of fear or guilt?

A flight attendant brought over some drinks.

As he took a sip of his coffee, Leopold got up and headed to the aft of the plane, with Elowen shadowing him.

Taking advantage of the momentary privacy, she threw herself at him. “Leopold, I don’t want to be alone tonight. Can I sleep with you?”

Coldly, Leopold shrugged off her grasp, his face unreadable, “Stop it. You're causing a scene.”

Elowen looked ready to burst into tears. “I’m your fiancée. What’s wrong with showing a little affection?” Insisting, she tried to once again embrace him, only to be held back.

As luck would have it, Aurelia chose that moment to head to the dining area for a bite.

Caught off guard by the sight, she froze.

She thought, "My God, I thought there was tension between him and Elowen. But here they are, passionately entangled, looking like they're about to join the mile-high club."

It was a misunderstanding!

Quickly, she covered her eyes and turned around, “I’m sorry for interrupting. I didn't see anything. Please, continue.”

Just as she was about to make her exit, a sharp command from Leopold echoed in the cabin. “Stop there!”
