Rosalie hurried after Robin, casting glances over her shoulder as they moved briskly down the airport terminal.

She turned to look back at Ivy and Annie, eyes narrowing with curiosity.

Leaning in, she whispered, "Robin, those two... they look like movie stars, don't they?"

Robin gave a small nod. "You're right. They're both actors.

"And one of them is a top star already, while the other's right behind her," he added.

Rosalie sighed, her shoulders slumping. "If I'd known it was them, I would've asked for a picture."

Robin shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips. Actors are still people. Taking a picture won't change who you are or who they are."

"Robin," she began, glancing at him, "they mentioned they might come to Harmonfield. Could you let me know if they do? I'd love to get a picture with them then." Robin chuckled. "Sure. When they come, I'll make sure they treat you to dinner too."

"Robin, you're too kind!" Rosalie murmured, holding onto his arm as they walked. "My family and I.... owe everything to you. I don't know how I'll ever repay you." "You don't need to repay me," he replied gently. "Just work hard and build a life you're proud of."

Once they boarded the plane, Rosalie's eyes darted around, filled with awe. "Robin, this is my first time on a plane."

Robin leaned back in his seat. "Then savor every moment of it."

Suddenly, a sharp voice broke the moment. "Keep it down!" an air marshal barked.

"This is a public space," he continued, looking at them with narrowed eyes.

"We've had constant complaints on international flights about Draconian passengers disrupting others with their lack of respect."noveldrama

Robin glanced up, recognizing the officer immediately Ashley, the same one he'd encountered on his last flight to Terenova.

Without giving him a second look, Robin turned to Rosalie, his tone low. "Some people pretend to be noble while rotting on the inside. If we were somewhere else, I'd have knocked the smugness right out of that one by now." Rosalie covered her mouth, stifling a laugh as she shot a glance at Ashley.

She could see that Robin was mocking Ashley

Ashley's face turned red with anger, having clearly understood Robin's insult. "Get up!" he snapped. "I suspect you're harboring violent intentions. You're coming with me to the flight attendant station for a full

investigation!"

Robin's chuckle was low, dangerous. "So, you think a little command from you is going to get me on my feet?"

He leaned back, settling deeper into his seat, his gaze unwavering. "Let's be clear. If you're looking for a reason to provoke me, I'm not going to let you yap around me unchecked."

"Ashley, that's enough!" Alison's voice cut sharply through the tension, and it was enough to still Ashley in his tracks.

She turned, locking eyes with Robin, a flicker of surprise momentarily lighting her face before she hid it.

She hadn't expected to see him on this flight back to Draconia.

Her tone turned resolute, "Ashley, this is beyond acceptable conduct toward a passenger. Push this any further, and I'll have no choice but to call the captain."

Ashley narrowed his eyes, irritation simmering. "And what do you mean by that, Alison? I'm responsible for the safety of all passengers here."

He glared in Robin's direction. "Last time he flew with us, four Demberoans ended up battered. I'm only doing my job."

Alison knew exactly who Robin was, knew the weight of the connections he could bring down if he chose.

The only reason Ashley was still standing there was because Robin hadn't yet decided to make it a matter of importance. Robin's influence could ruin Ashley's career before he even knew what hit him.

And an official complaint? It would invite an entire investigation, with heavy costs if Robin pressed for it.

She exhaled, fixing Ashley with a steely look.

"This is your warning. If you escalate this situation, the consequences won't be something you can just shrug off."

Robin's gaze

shifted between them, his tone cool and commanding, "Now, I suggest you both step away and allow me to enjoy my flight in peace. Any more interruptions, and I'll take this up with your captain personally." Ashley felt the tension, sensed the weight of Robin's presence, and for a moment, his expression faltered.

He knew the risk he ran if Robin chose to speak with the captain.

He'd be grounded on the spot, his entire career subject to scrutiny, maybe even ruined under the fines that might follow.

With a cold, lingering look, Ashley spoke through clenched teeth.

"You're based out of Harmonfield, right?"

Robin's expression was unreadable. "That's right. Harmonfield, Eastvale Development Group. You know

where to find me."

Ashley's mouth twisted into a tight, mocking smile. "Good. I'll be sure to pay you a visit."

Then he turned, his frustration plain in every tense step as he stalked back to the flight attendants' station.

Alison watched him go, casting a final glance at Robin before she followed, disappearing down the aisle without another word.

"I'm warning you, Ashley," Alison said, her tone firm. "You keep pushing passengers like this, and I won't hesitate to take it to the captain."

Ashley slammed his notebook onto the table, anger flashing in his eyes. "Oh, please, Alison. Have you really fallen for that smooth-talking pretty boy?"

He scoffed, shaking his head. "You saw it yourself the other day-a wealthy old lady picked him up. He's just a freeloader, riding on someone else's dime. "And you're still caught up on him? Where's your dignity?"

Alison's lips curved in a sharp, cold smile. "Maybe you should be more worried about your own dignity, Ashley. And maybe even your job."

She paused, her voice lowering as she locked eyes with him, "Take my advice and steer clear of him. Keep this up, and you're the one who'll be paying the price."
