On W******p, a new message popped up in the group chat among three friends.

[Mukino International's Triumvirate of Beauty]

The name had Amelia written all over it.

Amelia: @Madison, our new neighbor across the hall seems like a real looker.

Jessica: Better not let my brother catch you saying that, he'd move you back in a heartbeat.

Jessica: Besides, I doubt your taste, Amelia. I've only seen a silhouette.

Amelia: That silhouette can definitely give my glorious boss a run for his money!

Madison: Really?

Amelia: Don't believe me? Just wait, I'll sneak you a snapshot!!!

Jessica: @Madison, she's lost her marbles, ignore her. Are you coming home today?

Madison: Not sure, depends on whether your brother lets me leave.

Jessica: ... My brother is so lovesick, it's hopeless.

"What did Jessica say?" Ethan, passing by with his eagle eyes, inquired.

Madison quickly turned off her screen, trying to spare Jessica, "Oh, she's praising your physique."

"I saw the last three words." Ethan's eyes narrowed.

Changing the subject, Madison asked, "So, I'm heading back later?"

Predictably, Ethan's brows furrowed at the mention.

"Are you tired of me?"

"No, no, no! Just asking."

"Then why the rush?" President Grant was visibly displeased.

"I'm not in a hurry. I was just thinking if I go back early, I could bring back some treats for the two of them." "No need to bother with them. I've given them enough money to feast to their heart's content," Ethan replied. Once Ethan stepped out to take a call, Madison quickly deleted the chat history and shot a new message. Madison: @Jessica, your brother didn't tell me when to come back, so you guys go ahead and eat. Jessica: Are you that scared of him? Forgot about your sisters already, huh? [pity.jpg]

Madison: ...No, of course, I'll come back.

"Jessica."

A sinister voice suddenly emerged from behind. Madison whipped around in shock.

Ethan was over a meter away, yet he could read the tiny font on her phone screen?! What kind of superhuman vision was that?!

Back in the group chat.

Madison: @Jessica, I'm doomed, accidentally let your brother see our chat!

Jessica: ...

Jessica: And you just had to drag me into this.

On the other end.

Right after Jessica sent her last message, her phone buzzed with a call that seemed like a death knell from her big brother.

Taking a deep breath, she answered with a saccharine voice, "Hello? Dearest brother, good afternoon~"

"Cut the sweet talk."

Ethan's voice was icy: "I think you've been too idle lately. Until Madison has no flying duties, you should retrain at the company's air steward department."

Jessica leaped up, screaming, "Brother, weren't we the best siblings in the world?"

"Don't call me brother. Technically, we're not on the same family register. I'm only tolerating you for my mother's sake."

"Cold-blooded! Heartless!" Jessica bellowed.

"But don't come back until you've reached an A grade."

Jessica's face darkened further.

Hanging up, Amelia said, "That's what you get for running your mouth."

Jessica, clenching her phone tightly, teeth gritted, ordered, "You're coming with me!"

"In your dreams."

But Jessica didn't give Amelia a chance to refuse, dragging her out forcefully, "Coming or not?"

"No."

Jessica's grip was surprisingly strong, and she managed to forcefully drag Amelia out the door.

The two women were pushing and shoving when Amelia suddenly bumped into something-someone. She turned, apologizing instinctively, "Sorry, sorry, I..."

Qin Hualin stepped back half a step, shaking his head with a gentle, benevolent expression, "No harm done."

Amelia and Jessica froze, staring as Qin Hualin carried his belongings past and into the apartment across theirs.

About half a minute later, Amelia, hand on her heart, expressionless: "Jessica."

"Hm?"

Jessica was confused; Amelia rarely wore such a blank expression.

Amelia looked up slightly, "My heart fluttered."

"You're always fluttering!" Jessica grabbed her again. "The last time you said that was just four days ago on the plane! You practically drooled over some mixed-race guy!" "No, no, no!" Amelia struggled, persisting, "This time it's real! Everything before was just physical!"

"So what, I'm supposed to praise you for your devotion now?"

"No need for compliments. Can you help me find out who that guy is?"

"I do love you."

"Good Jessica~~ The prestigious flight attendant chief?" Amelia batted her eyelashes.

Jessica felt goosebumps, "Then you're joining me for retraining."

"No problem!"

Jessica added a condition: "If my sister-in-law doesn't come back, you're responsible for meals."

Amelia agreed without hesitation: "Deal!"

Seeing Amelia agree so readily, Jessica was somewhat shocked.

Such a penny-pinching, lazy woman agreed without bargaining?

At Mukino International's steward training department.

The department manager was surprised at their arrival.

Smiling amiably, Amelia explained, "We're off these days and thought of furthering our knowledge and skills in stewardship to contribute more to our future duties." Hearing this, the manager turned to the trainees, "See? This is professionalism, a benchmark, an example for you all to follow."

"Yes!" the stewardesses echoed in unison.

During the training, Amelia found the time to ask Jessica, "Did you find out?"

"Where should I inquire now?"

Amelia frowned, "Then what?"

"Once we're back, I'll ask at the villa's security."

Since the villa belonged to Ethan, Jessica, his sister, could easily ask for details-something Amelia couldn't do on her own.

Focused on the mysterious man, Amelia trained with extra vigor.

Already skilled, she was far from needing retraining; still, she was called to the front as a model of excellence.

As soon as the clock marked the end of the day, Amelia, who couldn't wait, tugged Jessica to run.

"Let's go, go, go."

Jessica, helpless against Amelia's impatience, followed along.

Reaching the villa, they made a beeline for the security booth.

"Hello," Jessica reported their villa number and inquired, "I saw someone moved in across from us, right?"

The guard thought for a moment, "Yes, Miss Jiang. They moved in the same day as you."

"Oh. I had no idea; I thought it was empty. Quite a shock to see a man there today."

"Indeed," the guard affirmed.
