Chapter 0110
“Ha ha, let’s drink!”
The sounds of ordinary life faded into the distance as the luxury car took them away to the manor.
Madison hadn’t drunk any alcohol, and suddenly, something was slipped into her palm-money.
Ethan leaned against the window, nodded his chin, “Change from the boss lady.”
“What for?” Madison asked.
Ethan always kept some cash in his car; the meal had only cost just over a hundred yuan.
“Can you fold a little heart?”
Madison frowned, thinking hard, “I think I saw a classmate fold one once.”
“Fold one for me.”
Recalling the method, and fortunately with a good memory, Madison managed to fold the two bills into the shape of a heart.
Just as she was about to show Ethan, they disappeared from her hands.
Ethan had snatched them away and promptly tucked them into his wallet before her eyes, visible through the transparent compartment usually reserved for photos. Madison didn’t want their relationship to go public, so he had no chance to display her photo.
“I’ll take this.”

Back at the Wood Lake Grandeur, Madison was called away for a
video call with Frank.
Her computer was out of battery, so Ethan let her use his.
Inside the study, she turned on the computer, logged into the corporate account, and joined a video conference with more than twenty pilots on a private aviation software. Frank was discussing key points about the upcoming show.
They were due to depart for the competition’s host country the day after tomorrow.
Ethan didn’t disrupt her meeting. After changing into home clothes and pouring her a glass of warm water, he placed it beside her.
In the camera’s view, many noticed the appearance of a hand by
Madison’s side.
That hand was unmistakably a man’s.
Left Yulei, quick to speak, blurted out, “Madison, are you cohabiting. with your boyfriend?”
After this period of training and contact, Left Yulei no longer harbored much hostility towards Madison.
Startled, Madison fell silent before reluctantly nodding, “Yeah.”
Everyone knew she had no family; what else could she lie about?
Claim he was her brother?
Then Ethan would probably have a score to settle with her afterward.
The topic was quickly moved past, and after a long meeting, Madison

was tired. Ethan didn’t bother her anymore, embracing his girlfriend as they both slipped into slumber.
The next day.
Madison spent the entire day in meetings. Frank had far too many matters to instruct, and he also outlined the characteristics of
championship teams from various competitions, along with a myriad of things to watch out for.
From morning till evening, just before closing the video, Frank specifically reminded everyone, “Go to bed early, and be at the international airport on time at six tomorrow morning.”
“Yes.”
After disconnecting the video, Madison stepped out of the room and saw Ethan crouched beside her suitcase, “I’ve packed everything for you, have dinner, take a shower, and go to bed.”
Ethan seldom got angry over big issues.
With the departure scheduled for tomorrow, Madison didn’t sleep well that night.
The following day, at six o’clock sharp.
Ethan personally drove Madison to the airport.
She said a quick goodbye and hurried off the car.
The man in the backseat kept his gaze fixed on her.
Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, Madison left her suitcase and
turned back.
Opening the car door, she caught Ethan by surprise, pulling him.
towards her by his tie.

And then, she kissed his lips.
It was a deep, lingering kiss, seemingly laced with genuine affection, unlike their previous, more tentative pecks.
After the kiss, Madison’s voice was soft, “Wait for me to come back.”
The car door closed once more.
Her figure was backlit by the dawn light of Slandon Port.
Today, bearing the name of Mukino International, she set out to vie for an uncertain glory against the powerful contenders from various
countries.
Five minutes later.
William called out to the man in the backseat for the third time,”
President Grant?”
Ethan finally diverted his gaze, swallowing hard as he loosened the tie that had been tugged askew by the woman.
