Chapter 857

The sky grew increasingly overcast as a helicopter rose swiftly into the air, like a bird skimming over dark waters and charging towards the night.

Inside the helicopter, Sylvia sat in front of a laptop, typing away on the keyboard with intense focus while Franklin studied some documents on his lap. Suddenly, a soft patter of raindrops could be heard outside.

It was almost like an accompaniment to a small waltz.

Sylvia furrowed her brows slightly and looked out the window. She saw that it had started to drizzle at some point during their flight. The tiny droplets fell from above like thin threads and splattered against the glass windows of their aircraft.

The co-pilot was monitoring weather conditions from his seat beside them. After awhile he came over to report, "Boss, it's just light rain right now. No thunderstorms expected because light rain usually falls when there's no wind which means fog may form along with it; if mixed with smoke or haze, visibility will further decrease. So... should we continue flying or make an emergency landing?"

Sylvia glanced at Franklin, before asking him softly, "What do you think?"

He put away his documents and tapped his knee gently for a while before speaking in his magnetic voice, "Tell our pilot I'll take over."

Sylvia was taken aback, "I asked you to accompany me here, not to fly this thing!"

Both pilots were members of an underground group known for their exceptional flying skills but compared to Franklin, there would still be some difference in ability.

Franklin stood up tall - he had long legs and well-proportioned body - though he wasn't wearing any captain uniform, he still looked handsome as ever.

Without warning, he leaned down close to her ear without saying anything, but kept staring at Sylvia's pretty face until she couldn't stand it anymore, then suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly, "You're coming with me."

Her heart skipped a beat as she was pulled up by him onto the co-pilot seat beside him while Franklin took control of the aircraft from behind its controls. His hands gripped firmly onto them while flashing her an easy smile that made him look even more perfect under those lights inside their cabin.

His eyes were focused intently ahead; thick lashes casting faint shadows beneath them, while perfectly sculpted jawline exuded charm all around him.

Sylvia tilted her head slightly, looking at his serious expression. A thought couldn't help but surface in her mind: no wonder people often say that serious men are the most charming.

In the misty rain, fine raindrops fell like silver threads.

The dark sky seemed to be about to collapse.
