The airport buzzed around them.


    Lucinda sank into a sofa, her energy spent, and let out a deep sigh.


    Its been ages since Ive had such a hectic flight.


    Dulcie chuckled softly, ribbing her friend, For someone of your status, Lucinda, flyingmercial must be a rarity, right? My coworkers would be stunned if I told them I shared a ne with billionaire Lucinda.


    Lucinda joined in theughter, her mood lightening.


    After another half-hour of waiting in the lounge, their boarding call finally came.


    Commercial flights truly paled inparison to private jets.


    This journey took a grueling twenty hours.


    They touched down in Medican at five in the morning.


    Lucinda slowly stirred from her slumber, with Dulcie still peacefully asleep beside her. Dulcie had barely slept the night before departure, having resolved to make the trip, while Kyson remained oblivious.


    Dulcie, wake up.


    Weve arrived in Medican.


    Roused by Lucindas voice, Dulcie sat up groggily, quicklyposed herself, and followed Lucinda off the ne.


    The cool, refreshing air of early morning in Medican greeted them.


    As they got off the ne, a team from Simmons Group awaited them at the airport, with a lead staff member approaching Lucinda with respect.


    Mrs.


    Payne, everything you requested is prepared.


    Please follow us.


    Lucinda took off her sunsses and linked arms with Dulcie.


    Well discuss itter. First, we need some rest.


    Despite having had a decent nights sleep, the jetg still left Lucinda feeling worn out.


    Okay, your car is ready outside.


    The drive was smooth, and Dulcie began to doze off.


    Lucinda found her incredibly endearing and stealthily took a few photos.


    Owning a chain of luxury hotels in Medican, the Simmons Group showed Dulcie the heights of their opulence during this trip.


    Upon arriving at the hotel, everyone treated Lucinda with remarkable respect, giving Dulcie a glimpse of VIP life.


    After escorting Dulcie to her room, Lucinda advised her, Rx and make yourself at home.


    Ill let you know if I need you.


    It seemed Lucinda had realized Dulcies eagerness to apany her stemmed from needing a break from Kysons presence.


    Dulcie, slightly embarrassed, responded, I got it, Lucinda. Go handle your business.


    Ill be fine here.


    She had nned to assist Lucinda but found herself enjoying unexpected pampering instead.


    Lucinda gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder and told her, Feel free to ask the front desk for anything.


    Ive let them know youre our top VIP now, so dont feel you have to be formal with me.


    As Lucinda talked, her aura was overwhelminglymanding and mature, capturing Dulcies attentionpletely.


    Dulcie took a moment to regain herposure after Lucinda departed.


    Indeed, who wouldnt be captivated by someone as charismatic as Lucinda? Dulcie sighed wistfully and made her way back to her room, where Lucinda had arranged for her to stay beneath a skylight ceiling on the hotels top floor.


    Lying in bed, Dulcie could gaze up at the star-filled sky above Medican.


    Her previous trip in Medican had been marred by worries and diforts, but this time, Dulcie was resolute in her determination to let nothing disturb her appreciation of the natural beauty surrounding her.
