Mallory and Noelle both stepped out of Mallory's car but Mallory couldn't see anyone inside the jet.
"I think the pilot isn't here yet" Mallory said and grabbed her phone out of her purse. "I have to make a call" she excused herself as she walked into a lounge that the private airport had.
Noelle leaned on the car and looked down at her Prada brushed rois leather and nylon monolith boots that her grandmother had gifted her after seeing her wearing her dr martens boots. They weren't any different these simply had a pouch that said Prada and yet were worth even more. It was still taking Noelle some time to actually adjust into buying more designer stuff as she still looked at the tag even though she had the card of a billionaire.
She looked up when she saw someone walk by and realized it was the the co pilot. She walked behind him until they both reached the jet.
"Hi, at what time are we heading out?" Noelle asked. The co pilot looked at her then looked at her and saw that she was alone.
"I take that you're Miss Cassidy?" He asked making Noelle nod. "I have orders to prohibit you entry into this jet until further notice" He added.
"Why?" Noelle asked but she sounded more scared than offended. "Orders from Miss Bellami" He responded. Noelle didn't respond as she didn't think she had any saying but she did.
"My cousin Mallory and I are flying together" Noelle finally spoke up. "I don't see Miss Mallory around" he responded.
"Nor will you see her if you don't allow my granddaughter into that jet"
Noelle looked over her shoulder to see her grandfather Amancio walking towards them.
"Sir I have orders" the pilot answered. "I'm glad you obey the orders given to you, now I'm giving you one. Grab her stuff, take them into jet and allow her entry" Amancio said so calmly.
"I'll get fired"
"I'm sorry, are you not listening to me?" Amancio asked. "I-" the pilot was cut off by Mallory.
"It's rhetorical" she said as she stepped besides Noelle.
"Mr. Davis" Amancio looked at his tag. "If you desire to keep your job I'd suggest doing as I said because the only person to ever be allowed to give orders that have to do with the jet here is me, now I don't know if you've heard but this here is my granddaughter Noelle Cassidy whom you haven't seen around much but to inform you she's the new boss around here so if I myself or her don't give an order then it's not validated. Now get the jet fueled before she fires you" Amancio said as he pointed to Noelle before stepping aside to make a call.
When the pilot nodded and got carrying the bags into the jet Mallory looked at Noelle. "Bellami?" Mallory asked and Noelle nodded.
"I just got off the phone with someone who can help me investigate Bellamis biological parents but I'm not so sure" Mallory whispered to Noelle who got the hint that she didn't want their grandfather to find out.
"Why?" Noelle asked. "I don't know I just have a gut feeling this isn't the right person but we'll talk about it when we get to New York. Do you have plans for tonight?" Mallory asked.
"Liam asked me to have dinner with him and his friend Devin I think it was, want to come with?" Noelle responded.
"I totally forgot Liam flew to new york last night, wait! Yes!" Mallory widened her eyes.
"You sound excited for a dinner invitation" Noelle smiled. "No its not that I mean it is don't get me wrong but if Devin will be there he can help me" Mallory responded.
Noelle nudged Mallorys arm as their grandfather stepped towards them.
"I'll be in the room" Mallory said as she walked up the stairs of the jet and went straight into the back room where she laid on the bed.
"Noelle" Amancio said before she could grab the rail of the stairs. She turned to look at him, "you've done well so far with greeting your future employees or staff as you would like to call them, you've also done a great job at handling media and ignoring them as businesses women should but you really need to stand up for yourself as a Kline should and as I expect the CEO of my company to do so. So raise your voice when it's necessary, you're the Boss around here now, act like it" Amancio said and allowed her to step in first.
Once they were almost ready to land in New York Mallory stepped out of the room and sat on the chair besides her Noelle and in front of her grandfather that was showing Noelle documents that he wanted her to study.
"Why didn't you tell us from home that you were flying with us? Are you going to Milan?" Mallory asked her grandfather.
"No I have meetings in New York and will be staying there until Friday" Amancio said. Noelle didn't say anything but worried about her mother as she knew her grandfather hadn't been in New York for a long time or even had an idea that it was where his son Benjamin had lived for so long and even worse Noelle's mother. She knew her grandfather never liked her mother and was afraid that he was going to pay her a visit however those weren't Amancio's plans at all.
"Where will you be staying?" Mallory asked. "My penthouse" he answered.

Mallory stepped out of the restaurant with Liam, Noelle, and Devin and asked Devin if she could speak to him in private.
"Sure, do you want to go back inside?" Devin asked as he fixed the collar of his dressing shirt.
"No I'd prefer if we spoke in my suite" Mallory said. "Sure" Devin nodded.
When they got to her suite Mallory offered Devin a glass of wine her and Noelle had bought before getting to the hotel.
She served two glasses and sat across him. "I know everything your father has done for my family hasn't all been legal work, you knew about the land my father was stealing from Ezekiels family and didn't tell me or him but that's a different topic, I need someone who can dig deep and they have to be confidential" Mallory said as she looked at him.
"An investigator?" Devin asked. "Yeah, However it was to be someone who is in no contact at all with my family. At least not with my parents or grandparents" Mallory said.
Devin raised his brows.
"Is it possible?" Mallory asked.
"I think so" he responded. "You don't sound very convinced" Mallory answered.
"Why don't you want them to know your family?" Devin asked. "Because I'm investigating them" Mallory answered.
"Oh" Devin nodded.
