Stella texted Miley the touchdown time of the flight as she sat in the plane, waiting for takeoff.
Miley’s response came almost immediately. However, she was complaining.
“Why did your boss think it was a good idea to book such an early flight for you guys? Has he no human feelings? And today of all days after I stayed up all night? I need to catch some sleep.”
Stella quickly explained, “Come on, girl. You know I should have returned to Seamarsh before now. We have important businesses to attend to there, so…”
“What an evil capitalist!” Miley scolded, but soon got to the point.
“You know what? Catch some sleep during the flight. I’ll be at the airport early to pick you up.”
Stella was about to reply with an OK when another message came in.
“Just a heads-up. A big surprise will be waiting for you when you arrive,” Miley added.
Stella was familiar with her friend’s game.
This message instantly got her worried. She texted a warning.
“Mind what you do, Miley. Remember that I won’t be alone. My boss and colleagues are with me. Don’t embarrass me, please.”

Instead of becoming more worried, Stella just deduced that Miley had gone to sleep. She decided not to text her anymore in order not to disturb her sleep.
She took out her laptop, intending to make a report of the work she did here in Highwyn.
Stella worked diligently for the next few minutes. When she was done, she reclined in her seat and dozed off.
There was no turbulence in the air.
Out of the corner of his eye, Matthew saw that Stella was hugging herself and her eyes were shut tightly. She seemed rather uncomfortable.
He frowned and looked at the air conditioner closest to her subconsciously.
Just as an air hostess walked over, Matthew signaled to her and requested in a low voice, “Please bring her a blanket.”
The air hostess nodded.
“Okay, sir.”
Stella was unaware of what happened.
She slept soundly until the first Landing announcement.
As Stella sat up, she noticed the blanket on her body.
