Keith shook his head in amazement.


    “That’s slick.


    Wish I’d thought of that sooner!”


    Realizing she couldn’t dissuade him, Hannah sighed.


    “What about leaving Kite behind?”


    Dotson reassured her, “We’ve sorted things out with Dn.


    It’ll be fine.


    ”


    Then, lowering his voice to a whisper, he added, “Everyone in the Dark Web is keeping an eye on the Leviathan news.


    Boss, you have nothing to worry about.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ”


    It was evident that everything had been meticulously arranged.


    “Let’s get going.


    Don’t want to miss the boarding,” Hannah urged, moving towards the airport.


    As they made their way to the ne, Hannah remained silent, her gaze fixed ahead, ignoring Bryson beside her.


    Their tickets boasted first-ss luxury for three, while Dotson found himself relegated to economy after ast-minute booking.


    Upon reaching their seats, Hannah moved to Lift her suitcase, only to find it effortlessly hoisted by Bryson, who settled it onto the overhead shelf with ease.


    Wordlessly, Hannah settled by the window after sizing up Bryson.


    Coincidentally, Maloney appeared, his seat conveniently in front of theirs.


    He attempted to charm Hannah with his seating arrangement.


    “So thoughtful of me, I’ve nabbed two seats for you two,” he boasted.


    Hannah offered a strained smile.


    “Should I thank you?” she quipped, turning her attention away.


    Perplexed, Maloney nced at Bryson, who merely smiled back, focusing entirely on Hannah.


    Baffled by the dynamic between them, Maloney shook his head and took his seat.


    Before takeoff, Hannah shot a message to Edwin.


    “I’ll bending at 4 p.


    m.


    Someone’s apanying me.


    No need to pick us up.


    ”


    With her message sent, she powered down her phone, settling against the window for a nap.


    The ne soared into the air, and the cabin plunged into silence.


    Though Hannah’s eyes were shut, sleep eluded her.


    She remained vignt, attuned to the slightest sound of the man beside her.


    Yet Bryson remained silent, a calming presence beside her throughout the journey.


    Finally, exhaustion caught up to her and she drifted off, lulled by the hum of the engines.


    She didn’t know how long she had slept when the ne suddenly lurched.


    The stewardess’ voice rang out in the cabin, reassuring passengers that the turbulence was normal and there was no cause for concern.


    Hannah was jolted awake by turbulence, Bryson’s arm instinctively reaching out to shield her.
