"Good morning, Mr. Agnor." She welcomed him on board with a phony smile, and he responded with a smug, taunting smirk.
"What a pleasant surprise, Captain! I was hoping Sage would have returned by now!" Judith wanted to punch him in the face, but she kept her cool and responded with another false courteous smile, "I guess he's not well enough to fly yet."
"Very well, even though he isn't here, I know I'm in good hands." His voice was rich as he gave her a curt nod and ascended the stairs into the aircraft, accompanied by his bodyguards and secretary.

She followed them in and settled in the flight deck as they settled into their seats. Albert looked at her with trepidation as she sat down and buckled her seatbelt. With one look, he knew she could kill someone at that moment, so he remained silent.
"Crew, please prepare for takeoff." She said curtly, and they were soon in the air, flying to Belgium.

The wing engine is semi-illuminated from the plane's window, with the lower half gleaming around the rim and the upper half several shades darker. As the plane moves, the border between shade and light shifts and Judith listens to the sound of the rotors.

Thirty minutes into the flight, Judith excused herself. Albert glanced at her as she stepped out of the flight deck, removing her blazer and draping it over her seat. She checked the crew restroom, but it was already occupied. She sighed and walked over to the other restroom for the passengers. Lilian smiled at her, and she responded with a curt nod and smile of her own. She didn't see Drazhan and was relieved she didn't have to see his face.

She came to a halt in front of the restroom, about to open the door and enter, when she heard noises coming from the small bedroom on the deck. Her brow furrowed as she strained to hear what that noise was. As the pants, grunts, and groans became louder, her face contoured with disdain. The sound of human flesh colliding with human flesh fills her ears, as does the sound of sulking.
"Asshole!" She mumbled as she entered the restroom.

She exited the restroom and locked it; she turned around, and the bedroom door opened. The flight attendant was taken aback when she saw her and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. As the flight attendant opened and closed her mouth to say something, while Judith stared at her with cold eyes, "I-I'm sorry Captain..." she began to apologize but was cut off when Judith raised her hand.
"I'm not here to judge you based on your personal life or beliefs, but please be at least a little professional when you are at work." The flight attendant nodded and proceeded to walk away. Judith took a step towards the flight deck when she saw Drazhan walking out, his face and neck flushed red. She had caught him off guard and he was somewhat surprised to see her. For a moment there she thought she had seen shame flicker across his eyes, but she only thought it to be her imagination when his eyes went cold as always, and with a smug grin he asked, "Anything I can do for you, Captain?"
"Nothing, sir. I'm heading back now." She walked away and all the way to the flight deck, she continued to feel Drazhan's heated gaze on the rear of her skull.

They landed at Antwerp International Airport shortly after. Judith walked out of the flight deck to see the passengers off after the plane had landed perfectly and the passengers were ready to disembark. She noticed Drazhan approaching the door, dressed sharply in a black suit and his hair perfectly coiffed.
"Prepare to fly to the Netherlands. We shouldn't be out of here for long." He informed whilst wearing sunglasses and fastening the button on his suit. She resisted the urge to scoff at his arrogant tone. "See you later Captain." He spoke just loud enough for her to hear and walked away towards the SUV that was waiting for him.

"Hey, Ross!" She summoned her co-pilot, who was retrieving his bag from the flight deck. "Yes, Judith?" He responded strolling out.
"Do you know of any places nearby?" She inquired,
"Didn't boss say it won't take them long?" His voice was laced with concern. "And you believed that? With one look at him, I'm sure they won't be back any time soon!" She stated with a grin, "I can't say I know, but we can always explore." With a cheerful smile, he suggested.
"That sounds pretty good to me!" She replied whilst donning her glasses and buttoning her blazer. With her bag in hand, they head out after the aircraft was locked and safely parked in the private lane of the airport.
