Yvette put away her phone as Jeremiah looked into her eyes. "I'm flying back to Betrico with Emmett tonight. Frankie, Bruce, and Chris will stay here. If any issues arise, they'll handle it. This mission might take a while." Jeremiah looked reluctantly at Yvette standing in front of him. Yvette had heard what Clifford had said on the other end of the phone so she just raised her eyebrows and smiled while looking straight into Jeremiah's eyes. "Got it." Jeremiah pulled Yvette into his arms and ran his hand through her soft hair. He gazed at her soulfully and sighed. "I have to go now."

Yvette leaned against his chest, while a lazy smile formed as she lowered her gaze. 'Seeing him so reluctant now, his expression should be quite the sight when we meet in five days in the Gulf of Araquiel, mused Yvette. Yvette looked up and whispered, "Let me give you a gift before you leave."

Jeremiah paused, smirking slightly. "A gift for me?"

Yvette stepped back from Jeremiah's embrace, pointed to herself, and said, "It's me. How about it?"

The next moment, Jeremiah leaned in closer, his gaze intensifying as he gazed at Yvette's aloof yet captivating face, murmuring, "I like this gift."

Yvette looked intently at Jeremiah but he couldn't handle such a look from her, so he covered her eyes and carried her to the bed.

At one in the morning, Jeremiah got out of bed, dressed quietly, took one last look at the sleeping Yvette, kissed her forehead, and then left the room. Emmett was all set, waiting at the door.

As soon as Jeremiah shut the door, Yvette slowly opened her eyes, feeling the warmth lingering on her forehead before slowly closing them again.

In the hotel corridor, Emmett walked beside him, reporting, "Mr. Chavez, everything at the airport is ready. We've secured the fastest private jet and will reach the First Military District by tomorrow morning."

"Mr. Mitchell has already organized the accompanying team for this mission. The detailed staff deployment and plans are up to you once you reach there," added Emmett.

"Mr. Chavez went there four years ago, wiped out a group of more than a hundred Spaunia pirates, and rescued seventy-eight Clusian crew members held hostage," continued Chris. This time, Mr. Chavez's vacation was canceled, and was sent on a mission to the Gulf of Araquiel, likely because of his experience and knowledge of Spaunia pirates," he added. Yvette lifted her gaze and raised an eyebrow. Her beautiful face
