Chapter 31 Ruined Vacation
Just as she was contemplating the matter, the mumber called again. This time, she didn’t hesitate to hang up.
“Going on a trip?”

A deep, crisp voice echoed in her e
can,
Without thinking, Jemima instinctively turned around and responded, “Yes,”
“Where are you going?”
“Tapluycia”
He must be bored to be asking in such detail.
Finish–t
She had initially thought that Scott was just asking casually and that the conversation would end there, but to her surprise, he added, “That’s quite far.”
“Ah, yes, it’s far indeed.” Jemima agreed, nodding.
You’re a rich scion who has been studying abroad since childhood. Yet, you speak as if you’ve never seen the world. Isn’t that contradictory!
“Was this trip planned in advance or was it a last–minute decision?” Scott asked casually, his tone carrying a hint of warmth.
Jemima readily replied, “Of course it was planned-
She was in the middle of her sentence when she abruptly stopped, suddenly recalling how she had sought employment from him not so long ago… I had already made plans for a trip, yet I asked him for a job…
She wore an embarrassed expression, praying that he didn’t remember the detail.
However, the change in Scott’s expression indicated to her that he had remembered.
That’s not it! He has set a trap and was just waiting for me to fall into it.
In this incredibly tense moment, Zander, sitting in the front passenger seat, added fuel to the fire by asking. “So, Ms. Willis, have you given up on job hunting?”
Shocked by the question, Jemima felt as if she was on the verge of breaking down. She explained in an awkward and slightly aggrieved voice, “Had I successfully gotten the job, I would have canceled my travel plans, but Mr. Sterling rejected me,
didn’t he?
She had indeed planned to do so before. While she did feel the need for a vacation, if she would undoubtedly have to change her plans if she had secured the position of executive secretary.
“What if I change my mind?” Scott asked, his demeanor calm and his expression serious.
Panic surged within Jemima. “Are you saying… I got the job?”
Now! Just when I’m about to embark on her journey at the airport
Scott didn’t respond to her question. Instead, he flashed a teasing smile. “Aren’t you going on a trip?”
But I haven’t left yet
“The trip can be cancelled. I can start work anytime.” Jemima immediately sat up straight. She would be a fool if she didn’t seize this opportunity.
“Anytime?”
“Anytime she asserted.
“Tapluycia is just too far away, isn’t it?”
Scott’s smiled widened as he spoke.

Willis, it would be wonderful if you could start today. Once we’re on the plane, I’ll fill you in on the de… our business trip.”
Jemima felt as if her head was spinning
How did hitching a ride turn into landing a job?
Despite the surreal nature of her situation, she quickly got a grip of herself. “Alright, we still have some time before reaching. the airport. Why don’t you send me the itinerary?” she suggested.
Zander chuckled. “There’s really no need to rush.”
Jemima nodded
While she was speaking, several calls came through on her silenced phone. Picking it up again, she noticed a missed call from Amelia.
She turned to a side to call back. “Mia.”
Julius has found your flight details, and he’s rushing to the airport now,” Amelia anxiously shouted over the line.
Jemima was left speechless.
“That jerk has lost his mind, Jemma. Maybe you should turn back and find a place to hide for a while.”
“Hmm, let me think,” Jemima said as she gently rubbed her forehead.
After hanging up the phone, she gazed out the window. Her mood seemed to have been yanked back down into the dumps.
The car fell silent, as everyone inside could hear the conversation between Jemima and Amelia.
Scott didn’t utter a word, but Louis spoke with a gentle reassurance.
“Don’t you.”
worry. Mr. Sterling has a private jet. The car can drive straight to the runway. That person won’t be able to trace or find
A radiant glow lit up Jemima’s face. “That’s wonderful”
Why hadn’t I considered this before? I’m now traveling with the young scion of a wealthy family!
Scott glanced at her. “Jemima, you’ve made it.”
Jemima was left dumbfounded.
gotten
At the airport, Julius couldn’t find Jemima, nor could he find any information about her flight. He assumed she hadn’t on the plane and had changed her mind at the last minute, leaving the airport. Little did he know that she had already joined Scott on his private jet.
The cabin was spacious and comfortable.
The temperature was just right, and a clean, pleasant scent filled the air.
As the plane took off, an unexpected sensation of weightlessness seized Jemima’s heart, as if a pair of hands had suddenly grabbed it
