As the cabin door closed, the plane began to pivot and accelerate, gradually ascending.
Donald settled into a comfortable position on the airplane, preparing to sleep.
Suddenly, a cart was pushed in front of Donald.
“Excuse me, sir, would you like something to drink?” asked the flight attendant.
“No need, thank you.” Donald rejected it without even batting an eye at the cart.
However, he found that the cart was still in front of him. It hadn't moved at all.
Donald couldn't help but glance at the flight attendant, only to realize it was Eileen, whom he had met earlier in the morning.
Eileen smiled at Donald and said, “Sir, the beverages we offer on this flight are all specially supplied for astronauts. Are you sure you don't want to give them a try?”
As Eileen spoke, she directly pulled out a can of Energy Cola from under the cart.
One could tell just by looking at the packaging that the can Eileen brought out was a high-end product. It was unlike the typical Energy Cola drinks available in the market.
Donald was not quite accustomed to Eileen's unsolicited kindness. However, he thought that constantly refusing her might lead to more trouble. In the end, Donald accepted the can of drink.
Just as Eileen was about to push the cart away, a foreign man sitting across from Donald smiled at Eileen. “Miss, I'd like a can of that drink too. Can you give me one?”
Upon hearing the foreign man's request, Eileen smiled and said, “I'm terribly sorry, sir. That was actually the last can of that particular drink. If you'd like, I can offer you a different one.”
The foreign man shook his head and said, “No, I specifically want that can of drink.”
Hearing the foreign man speak like that, Eileen suddenly felt a bit flustered.
The drink she gave to Donald was not some special airline offering at all. Rather, it was a specialty drink she brought back from abroad.
She simply wanted Donald to like her more, which is why she chose to give that drink to Donald alone.
