Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2004

In the heart of Zovince, along the bustling airport road, four sleek black SUVS

glided through the night, their engines humming softly against the backdrop

of the urban symphony. Within the second vehicle of the convoy sat an

elderly man, heavily bespectacled, who had closed his eyes to rest.

“Mr. Hale, we have arrived at the airport,” a voice called from inside the

vehicle, shattering the stillness that enveloped him. Slowly, the old man opened his eyes, revealing bloodshot irises that betrayed his exhaustion.

He forced a weary smile, patting his face in an attempt to shake off the

fatigue that clung to him. “We’ve arrived so quickly? I had hoped to rest a bit

longer. Thank you for your hard work.”

As he spoke, a robust man seated beside him had already exited the vehicle,

swiftly opening the door with a practiced ease.

“Thank you,” the elderly man expressed gratefully as he stepped out into the

cool night air.

The muscular bodyguard nodded slightly, taking his place behind Mr. Hale.

His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, ever vigilant. As the distinguished

official’s protector, his duty was to ensure his charge’s safety at all times.

Moments later, a female aide clad in a crisp black uniform approached, her

demeanor a blend of urgency and respect. “Sir, the Northern Region General

has arranged a security detail for you. The team leader, code–named Wolf, is

en route to ensure your safety during this trip.”

“Oh, is that so?” Mr. Hale replied, his tone lightening as he considered the

familiar rapport he shared with Santiago, the esteemed general from the

Northern Region. Naturally, he accepted the arrangements made on his

behalf. However, glancing at his watch, he frowned slightly. “There’s still some

time. I’ll head into the airport and wait for him before we board.”

The bodyguard’s discontent flickered across his expression, but he chose to remain silent in the public setting, understanding the weight of his duty.

As the group entered the airport, they made their way to a special waiting area reserved for their private flight. Around fifteen minutes later, Emmanuel,

“Mr. Hale is already in the waiting lounge,” Sage, who had been coordinating

logistics, reported as he leaped out of the car, determination etched across

his face.

Emmanuel merely nodded and quickened his pace toward the terminal. The

bustling Zovince airport, alive with movement at one–thirty in the morning,

pulsated with surreal energy. Shadows of passengers flickered beneath the

harsh overhead lights, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere in the

otherwise tranquil night.

Despite their urgency, Emmanuel and Sage adhered to the usual security protocols during the check–in process. As they stood in line, Emmanuel’s gaze wandered around the airport. He noticed two attendants clad in sleek black uniforms heading toward the exclusive boarding area for their private
