Chapter 513: Unexpected Flight Delay
Lily followed the surging crowd through security.
After the security check, she carefully checked her documents to make sure they weren’t damaged, and then continued forward.
In just a few minutes, her back started to sweat with anxiety. The carriage was crowded with people, like a pot of dumplings stuck together.
Lily was pushed from behind and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, the person in front of her had a suitcase that pressed against her knees, preventing any embarrassing mishaps.
Finally, at the next stop, a few people got off. However, even more people boarded.
Lily had never experienced such a treacherous metro during rush hour and secretly cursed in her heart: I hate evening rush hour!
By the time she reached the airport stop, her clothes were all wrinkled and crumpled from being squeezed.
The originally sleek and fitted style had become limp, causing her to lose her original grace and elegance.
Lily’s figure was slightly plump to begin with; now, all her beauty was gone.
The glass door reflected her shadow, and at that moment, only one dish name remained in her mind: Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables.
The preserved vegetables referred to her shapeless clothes, and the pork... "Sigh," she let out a heavy sigh.
Going to meet Finnian Lawrence in such a state was like offering him a sword.
Lily only wallowed in sorrow for two minutes. She didn’t have time to stay in the same place.
She jogged to the arrivals area and found that Finnian’s flight was delayed, expected to be about an hour and a half late.
Lily was on the verge of tears. If she had known the flight was delayed, she wouldn’t have squeezed into the metro. When had the Sloan Family’s youngest daughter ever been treated like this!
She relayed the situation to Nora Northwood via a voice message on WeChat, and didn’t forget to complain about the perilous experience at the metro station.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Lily also sent a text message to her brother far away in a foreign country.
"There’s less than four months until the New Year."
Jason Sloan had already spent two consecutive years abroad. If he didn’t return soon, it would be the third year.
He was a few years older than Lily, and the two of them, as Sloan Family children, were expected to inherit the family business in the future.
Lily’s venture into the fragrance industry was seen by Mr. Sloan as a sign of "not doing something proper."
Her father had always spoiled his daughter. Luckily, she had a brother who could take on the responsibility of being the heir, so The Sloan Family let her explore freely.
Jason Sloan was overwhelmed by economics, law, business and trade... spending all his time learning how to be an excellent heir, leaving him no time for relationships.
When Lily’s message was sent, it was like it sank into the sea, with no response for a long time. This was already the normal mode of communication between them, with a time difference of several hours that was difficult to overcome.
Feeling bored at the airport, she wandered around.
A small shop specializing in tuna sandwiches caught her attention, and immediately, her stomach started growling.
Lily had almost no resistance to good food; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unable to lose weight.
Having rushed around for a few hours, rewarding herself a little shouldn’t be excessive, so she ordered two from the owner.
The owner, seeing she was alone, specifically reminded her, "The sandwiches are quite large; one is enough for a girl."
"I have a big appetite."
Two girls holding hands nearby overheard Lily’s reply and burst into laughter.
Lily was taught from a young age not to lose her temper, but she thought these two were very rude.
