"Ms. Brooks, I..."I'd barely started to explain before Jessie Brooks cut me off. "Didn't they train you before you came here?"Seniority matters in this industry. On top of that, I'm the team lead, and you're just a contract flight attendant!"All you think about is sleeping your way into the VIP cabin. You're a disgrace to this profession!"It's people like you who give flight attendants such a terrible reputation!"Her gaze cut into me like a knife, as if she wanted nothing more than to sink her teeth in and finish off the parasite eating away at her industry.Strictly speaking, though, she and I didn't work for the same company, and she certainly wasn't my superior.I'd been temporarily transferred here to help out in an emergency, so naturally my personnel file hadn't come with me.And I wasn't riding around in my supervisor's luxury car or sleeping with him at a five-star hotel either.I'd told my supervisor, Victor Gibson, from the start that there was no need for anyth

Before we crossed the terminal to Rhonda's office, I stressed it one more time."I'm not a flight attendant. I'm the captain. Nobody else can fly this mission. If something goes wrong, you two won't be the only ones who take the fall."But Rhonda and Jessie exchanged a look and both burst out laughing."Don't tell me you're waiting for your boss to get off his plane and save you. Dream on! I can't believe you'd even tell a lie like that!"I've been a flight attendant for years, and I've never seen a single female captain in commercial aviation, let alone one as young as you."Rhonda nodded, her face full of contempt. "I never heard about any female captain being transferred here, either!"You are the captain? Can you even do it right? It'd be a miracle if you didn't cause a disaster. Stop pretending!"I didn't say anything else.Before my temporary transfer, Victor had thanked my mentor over and over again. My mentor was Derek Olson, the chief commander and Cory's father.At t

"Cher! Cher!"Cory's frantic voice came from outside.Jessie had no time to explain anything to Rhonda. She opened the door, plastered a big smile on her face, and blocked Cory from coming into the dorm. "Captain Olson, what brings you here? This is the women's dorm."Cory shot her a look and said irritably, "Then please find Cher Robertson for me."Only a door separated Cory and me, but Rhonda had her hand clamped tightly over my mouth, and I couldn't make a single sound."Captain Olson, Cher didn't even clock in today. You must have the wrong place. She probably didn't want the job and ran off."Beads of sweat clung to Jessie's temple, but she sounded completely sure of herself.The next moment, a voice rang out. "She's lying! I saw Cher in the dorm, and they were being so mean to her! That woman stomped on Cher's hand until it was all red!""What?"Cory was so stunned he couldn't speak.He turned to Jessie and spat out each word, seething with rage. "Bring Cher out here! N

Jessie was completely devastated.She'd never read the briefing for this VIP flight.So she had no idea who was actually on the plane, or what they were flying out to do."Do you all think this is going to make me back down to this slut?"She took out her phone and pointed it at all of us. "I'm going live. I'm going to expose you. I'm going to expose how you're all colluding, covering for each other, and enabling each other."We watched her lose it like a beaten dog.Unfortunately for her, the moment she started the livestream, the platform banned it for violating its rules.She refused to give up. She switched accounts. She switched platforms.None of it did any good. Every single one got banned."What's going on? What's happening?!"She stood there screaming like a madwoman.Little did she know that every one of those platforms and accounts was controlled by the tycoons who were waiting on that plane today.Shutting down a lunatic using their own platforms didn't take so
