Sean POV

Thomas was already scrambling out as we arrived at Malpensa Airport, ready to handle

the luggage and check-in procedures.

The week-long negotiations in Milan had finally concluded.

"I'll take care of everything, Mr. Shaw," he assured me, the slight tremor in his voice betraying his perpetual anxiety. "The check-in counter is just inside. They're expecting

you."

I nodded.Inside, I made my way toward the restrooms. As I pushed open the door with my shoulder, I noticed a small boy struggling with the heavy door, his arms loaded with what appeared to be a toy airplane and a book.

Without breaking stride, I reached over and held the door open for him. The child looked up, his green eyes brightening.

"Thank you, sir," he said politely before slipping inside.

"Mr. Shaw!" Thomas appeared at the restroom entrance. "We need to board immediately.

"What kind of issue?"

He swallowed. "The booking system glitched. First and business class were full when I

confirmed your seat.".

I stopped and turned to face him. "You didn't secure my seat?"

"I tried, sir, but the flight is overbooked."
