Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Selena dashed forward, catching up to him in no time and blocking his path. "Excuse me, sir, could I ask you for a favor?"

The man stopped, his eyes meeting hers. "Sure, what is it?"

Selena got straight to the point, her tone earnest. "I'm willing to pay double for this plane ticket as compensation for any inconvenience. Could you let me have it?"

He didn't answer right away.

Feeling desperate, Selena took a deep breath and raised three fingers, her voice trembling. "Can I triple it?"

A soft chuckle escaped him, his face lighting up with a warm, charming smile that felt like spring sunshine, instantly easing the tension in the air. "Fine. ou can have it." His voice was soothing, like a gentle stream. Relief washed over Selena. "Thank you so much! May you continue to be blessed in the world!"

As the airline staff sorted out their tickets, boarding had begun, so she quickly added him on social media before making a run for it.

He stood there, watching her scamper away like a little rabbit, a slow smile spreading across his face.
