h4Chapter 226: So Close/h4

    (Author’s POV)

    "Hehe ... I just thought, it looks kinda cool. Out of the box style, I guess," Myra was bbering whatever came to her mind, which was absolute nonsense. Her entire focus was on how to get out of sight and get on that ne to Esteria.

    "You know, you are behaving ...... how should I put it .... ’weirdly’~ .... I mean, quite unlike yourself," Wendymented.

    On the other side, Dion and ric had split up and was searching for Myra. Both were unaware of the other person doing the same thing.

    Dion sniffed the air but with little trace of Myra’s mesmerizing scent, it wasn’t going to be an easy task to hunt her down. Every now and then, girls woulde up to him and try to make small talks or get his attention but he ignored every single one of them.

    ric was searching for Myra in that densely popted and highly charged up surge of crazy fans. Soon, he made his way towards Caleb Hawthrone.

    When Caleb’s bodyguards saw him approaching, they tried stop him, "You cannote close. Stay in line."

    Caleb who was wearing a mask and shades, lowered his sses and narrowed his eyes as he recognized who ric was. In a polite voice, he said, "Lina, don’t be so rude. He is a very prestigious figure. Let him pass." As ric came and stood in front of him, Caleb questioned, "Mr. ric Everests, fancy seeing you in Damona. What are you doing here? Are you also one of my fans and here to attend the fan meet?" He got excited as hepleted his words.

    "Mr. Hawthrone, I want you to do something for me," ric didn’t make a request and was just straightforward with his words.

    Caleb was a bit taken aback by his upfront, ’not a request’ but an order, like he was one of his subordinates. But surely enough, he couldn’t outright decline him as he knew how powerful the Everests Group was. If he yed his cards right, he could get something out of this.

    He cleared his throat and uttered, his voice lower, "Do we need to talk about it here? You see this ce is ...... a bit inconvenient to converse. Why don’t we go to somewhere else which is less crowded, I guess?"

    "No need. I am here to search for someone. I think she is amongst ...." He nced at the fired up ’Lebies’, Caleb’s fandom name, as he continued, " ... the crowd. Can you call her out," ric uttered. He wanted to say crazy fanatic freaks but he changed his choice of words at thest minute.

    Caleb’s mouth twitched at his response, ’Cheeky bastard.’. He quickly changed back to his former facial expression, a dazzlingly and practiced smile forming on his well moisturized and tinted lips. With a dramatic tone, he said, "Ohhh ...., so it is like that. Is it your girlfriend? Is she also my fan? Ohh my ... my, I am so honored. Ummm~ ... can you tell me her name so I can call her out for you?"

    ric pursed his lips to deny Caleb as he referred Myra as his girlfriend but, in the end, he just whispered, "Her name is ... Myra Miracle." As he verbalized her name, an unconscious smile yed on his lips. An unknown sensation spread through his chest making him feel giddy.

    Caleb cleared his throat and spoke to his fans, "My dear Lebies, I have to ask you guys something. Can you .... please ..... listen to my request. My friend here," he patted ric’s shoulder as if he was one of his close friends. At his request, all the surrounding voice died down as his fans listened to him carefully, obeying him as if he was their king or something.

    He continued, "he is searching for his girlfriend. Her name is Myra Miracle. Ms. Miracle, if you are amongst the crowd can you pleasee out. Mr. Everests here, has requested me to sort you out of the crowd. He has been searching for you for so long and is waiting for you."

    The girls whispered, "Ohh my gosh, it’s that hottie who rejected Sina earlier. Now I know why. He already has a girlfriend. Haha, he is so dashing, of course, there was no way he didn’t have a girl or two."

    "Gosh, I also want someone so loyal and as good looking as him. This Myra girl is so lucky," another girl chimed with envy.

    Not minding his words, ric’s entire focus was on Myra and her alone. The fans looked around, waiting for ’the lucky one’ toe out and show herself. They wanted to see how gorgeous was ric’s girlfriend to make him so spellbound. But even after several minutes had passed no one appeared. The scenario turned awkward as Caleb said scratching the back of his head, "I guess you have got the wrong call here. Your girlfriend isn’t here, Mr. Everests."

    Without wasting anytime, ric turned to the other side, but before going, he tossed his business card to Caleb which had his personal number on it.

    Alex had traced a faint fragrance of their mate from the opposite side, so ric made his way there instantly.

    Dion also heard everything and was left speechless when Caleb imed that ric was looking for ’his girlfriend’ named Myra Miracle.

    ’Al, is also searching for Myra? But why? And girlfriend, really? Doesn’t he despise her because she is a human? So, why did he y along and didn’t refute that guy’s words? The ric I know would be fuming by now,’ Drey fired questions after questions as they both were confused by ric’s unpredictable actions.

    Dion didn’t say anything, he had simply nothing toment on that. Thanks to the crowd of fans calming down, the scent of Myra enhanced a bit and he made his way towards the source immediately.

    He looked at his brother, who was going in the same direction as well. His eyes flickered but there was no time to confront ric right now, he could question it afterwards.

    His eyesnded on the sign board. That side of the airport was for departure. ’Is Myra going somewhere?’ That’s the only thing that came to his mind. ’I can’t let her leave just like that. I need to give her ’that’ and also tell her~ ..... about ’

    ric also looked at Dion and narrowed his eyes but neither of them stopped.

    Oliver had already arranged for everything and all the Miracle boarded their flight. Surprisingly, the seats were booked in the business ss section as Wendy gasped, as she whispered near Myra’s ear, "Wahh, it is my first time travelling by a ne. Is business ss always so spacious? It reeks expensive." She looked at her sister who looked visibly stressed.

    Myra kept on looking behind, even after boarding the ne. She asked the staff, "Uhhh~ excuse me, can you tell me when will the flight takeoff?" She was desperate to fly out.

    The flight attendant responded with a professional smile, "Ma’am, the flight will take off in five minutes. Please, settle down on your seats and fasten your seat belts."

    Myra nodded as the attendant asked, "Ma’am, do you need anything else?"

    "No, thank you," was Myra reply. As she settled in her designated seat, she shrank as if to hide from someone.

    Wendy has been observing Myra’s actions from quite a while and frowned, ’Why is sis behaving like this? Has the panic attack got to her head somehow? It is quite concerning. Maybe I should ask for a doctor to check up on her.’ With these thoughts in mind, she got up from her seat and went to the staff who was still helping in onboarding remaining passengers.

    "Ma’am, do you need something?" the attendant asked gently.

    "Ms. Hailey," Wendy read her name from the badge and continued, "Is there a doctor avable? I think my sister~" she exined to the staff about Myra’s situation briefly.

    "There is a doctor. I will call for him immediately," saying this, she instructed the other attendant to call for the doctor.

    "Ma’am, you can return back to your seat. The flight is about to takeoff. The doctor wille see you shortly," the staff member urged Wendy to go back to her seat.

    Wendyplied. As she was returning, William and Sandra called to her, "What happened?"

    "Umm~ I was just asking for a doctor for sis. She seems really nervous, jittery because of the earlier incident," Wendy told them.

    William and Sandra looked at Myra and they too found her actions a bit abnormal than usual.

    "Myra baby, are you alright?" Sandra asked. Myra reacted a bit jumpy as her mind was somewhere else.

    "Mom, I am fine. Just aerophobia," Myra replied.

    Both ric and Dion rushed to the connecting tunnel as the airport staff tried to stop them from breaking conduct. Several security guards chased after them as they took them for people with ulterior motive. After all, they were behaving suspiciously.
