Stefan woke up excitedly the next day as he had his bath and got dressed for today’s trip. He arranged some of his clothes which he knows he will be needing and placed it inside his bag. At that moment, Raven walked up to him fully dressed. She wanted to drop him off at the airport before walking away. “I can see you’re really prepared for this Stefan”. She said with a beam while Combing his rough hair which he seems to forget. “after taking your breakfast, maybe I could drop you off at the airport or wherever you want to meet Owen”. Stefan does appreciate her care and concern about him but he doesn’t want her to do that. He wouldn’t want her to be stressed over this since Lisa will be taking care of everything for him. “Thank you so much for your help Raven, but you know, I need to meet with Owen right now within ten minutes and I wouldn’t have a chance to have breakfast or……! “I understand”. She interrupted Him off before he could utter any words.

“Thank you so much, wifey, for everything”. With them, Stefan pecks her on the cheeks and carries his luggages as she follows him with a smile. She escorted him outside the gate where he entered a car she had no idea of. Raven was sad that she won’t be able to see him for some time but she knew this was for the best. She watched over him as the car reversed back and drove out of her sight. She can’t deny the fact that she starts crushing on him and loves him like the way a wife should love their husband. Lisa who was currently driving Stefan to the airport was surprised with the way Raven had acted around him earlier that Stefan even noticed her doubted confused countenance.

“Is everything okay? You seem to be speechless”. Stefan shrugged at her, bringing her back to reality. “I’m sorry to ask this question but are you on good terms with Raven now? The way she waves and smiles at you does show she loves and cares about you”. Lisa’s statement made Stefan smile as he giggled. “Do you think so?” He questions her, wanting to be sure she knows what she was saying before Just assuming things. “Yes! I can see that she has finally learned to love you which is a good thing! But what are you going to do with grandpa decisions about you getting married to Ava? Would you reject and divorce Ava in order to follow grandpa instructions? Lisa’s words made him realize that this was the right time for him to put this situation into consideration. He would have easily divorce Raven but it seems like she had started to love and accept him, so how’s he going to start a new life with a stranger he knows nothing about? Someone that’s pretending to love him in order for their business to grow?

“You’re right Lisa? I should be able to give grandpa the right answers when the time comes”. He spoke. They got to the airport in the next twenty minutes as Lisa ordered one of the Maxwell group security teams to drive the car back to the company. Stefan thought about how he was going to book a flight right now as he doesn’t have any ideas of how flight works since he never had an encounter there before. He didn’t have the privilege to enter a plane before the death of his parents. But Lisa’s actions left him dumbfounded. “Please follow me sir”. She shrugged at him entering inside the plane while the confused Stefan followed her, pondering when she booked their flight and where she was heading to inside the plane. Stefan’s eyes widened in Angers the moment he found the plane to be occupied with people seated. There wasn’t any available seat for them and he couldn’t help but ponder where she was going to in the front. “Where are we going Lisa?” He whispered to her but his doubt and confusion came to an end the moment they sat down at the VIP Exclusive Area of the plane. Stefan looked at the VIP area in amazement. This was his first time sitting in a VIP area and he was happy that it’s finally happening. “Don’t be confused sir, grandpa took care of the booking and everything! So rest assured”. Lisa advised him as he smiled at her.

A man sitting close to him makes a frowning sound thereby pulling his attention. ” What a bumpkin!!” The man whispered and Stefan knew that he was referring to him. Stefan wanted to answer him but ignored him. He didn’t come here to quarrel with one useless man he has no idea of. Stefan stared at him but could see the lewd looking he was giving to Lisa. He was looking at her with so much interest and lust in his eyes. And the moment his eyes met with Stefan who seemed to be looking back at him. He scoffed.

“I’m sure it must have been really hard for you to buy a first class ticket for two people, which was the reason why you were so excited earlier! I’m sure it must have been your dream to always sit at the VIP Exclusive Area of a plane”. The man said in a sarcastic tone as he laughed and narrowed his gaze at Lisa who seemed to be giving him a dangerous gaze for displaying such actions of madness right in front of them.

“How could a beautiful sexy lady like you be wasting your time on someone like him darling? Judging by his look and appearance, he seems really weak and at the same time incapable of taking care of your responsibility….! He paused then continued. “I’m a successful businessman who runs a company in the country of Singapore! I have lots of money that will be enough to maintain your beauty and take care of it. Please be my lover and let me show you how to be treated like a queen by a king that knows the worth of a beautiful elegant Queen like you”. Lisa ignores the man’s proposal, pretending like she wasn’t the one he was talking to and Stefan on the other hand couldn’t help but look at Lisa, awaiting her response and what she’s going to do. But he loves the fact that she didn’t respond to his words but ignores him like a total Fool he was.

In order to deceive the young chubby man and stop Him from disturbing them, Lisa brought out a Very delicate luxurious men’s watch from her bag and put it in Stefan ‘s hands. Thereby making him ponder about the reason behind her actions. “Honey, why did you forget to bring your watch? Thankfully, I got it for you! The man looked down at the watch and said in surprise, “It’s that limited edition Patek Philippe?” The man knows the value of such wristwatch and he knows that whoever that has it must be fucking rich. He could only feel bad about the reason why he had misjudged them upon not knowing who they were. So they were both lovers? Stefan quickly puts on the watch since he has no idea what it was. But not so soon, the man walks out of his seat to a different one. He was disappointed at them and he wouldn’t want to cause any commotions. Since the act was over, Stefan removed the watch from his hand and headed it over to Lisa who was surprised to find out that he eventually took off the wristwatch which his grandfather had instructed her to give him.

“Please take this back Lisa, since the act is over and the man is no longer sitting close to us”. Stefan knew the moment he forgets about this expensive wristwatch with him and held home, he will be asked by the Black family who gave him Such luxurious watch since it seems to be special and at the same time rare to see and they’re likely going to accuse Him of stealing it.

“I didn’t give it to you because of that man sir! I do give it to you because of Kendrick Maxwell, your grandfather told me to give it to you so you could look decent, I’m also preparing a suit for you which you need to put on the moment we get off the plane before meeting grandpa”. Lisa shrugged at him as he nodded his head. “alright, I do get your point”. Stefan put the watch on his hands as he relaxed his head on the chair of the plane. Imagining how his grandfather and Jenny look like in real life. He had seen a picture of his father but he hadn’t seen him once in reality. It’s been long since he saw his grandfather and can’t really explain how he looks in real life then in pictures. He was eager to meet him so he could talk face to face. They got off the plane in under thirty minutes and at the airport, someone was waiting for them. It was the driver Kendrick Maxwell had sent to carry them. “You’re Stefan Maxwell right? The man who seems to be a bodyguard shrugged at him as he nodded his head. “please come inside, your grandfather has instructed me to be your driver, before you go back to Korea”.
