“What’s wrong?” Jeffrey caught onto her hesitation.

Rebecca pointed to the room number he’d sent her, her suspicions veiled. “PrimePlay Technologies is this generous on business trips? Everyone gets their deluxe suites?”

Jeffrey shrugged it off. “You’ll see for yourself when you get there.”

Jeffrey’s casual tone eased Rebecca’s doubts. She thought, ‘If he’d planned on sharing a room with me, he wouldn’t sound this relaxed. Besides, as the CEO of the Hanson Group, it’s not like he’d tag along for a PrimePlay Technologies business trip!‘

With these thoughts swirling, Rebecca headed to the airport in the car Jeffrey had sent for her. She joined the crowd to grab her boarding pass.

“Is everything okay?” Jeffrey, who’d followed her to the airport in the same car, asked from the back seat, his eyes unreadable.

“Yes,” Gregory replied from the front passenger seat, all business. “I’ve bought out the seats next to Ms. Jensen, so she won’t have to deal with anyone crowding her.”

Jeffrey shot him a look. Gregory caught on immediately. “My bad. I meant Mrs. Hanson.”

“Once we land, get the local managers to arrange a dinner for the PrimePlay Technologies staff,” Jeffrey said nonchalantly. “Think up a reason yourself.”

Gregory nodded. “Got it.”

Jeffrey hummed in acknowledgment.

The driver restarted the car and headed toward the private jet.

Half an hour later, Rebecca boarded the plane. As the departure time approached, she realized empty seats pretty much surrounded her. She just shrugged it off, figuring the tickets hadn’t sold.

After landing, she met Ella and the rest, heading for the hotel. When they arrived, she learned the deluxe suite was set up for the three girls to share, with the living room serving as their spot for team meetings after classes.

“Mr. Hanson wants us to gather downstairs,” Ella read aloud from her phone.
