Noticing her silence, after a long panse, Baron finally broke the fence.
Daron said, “You’re smart enough to figure it out. Just put your mind to it.
His deep voice carried an irresistible allure that was impossible to ignore.
Maria bit her lip, still staring out the window as she replied quicly, “I really can’t figure it out. My head’s killing me.” After saying that, she pulled her sleep mask down, crossed her ans, and went quiet, ignoring Daron completely.
Daron’s brows knitted together as he removed his sleep mask.
He saw Marina had already put hers on, her breathing steady and calm, not a trace of worry from their earlier conversation.
She really meant what she said, not a hint of hesitation on her face.
Daron frowned, his gaze lingering on her serene face for a long moment. He reached out toward her sleep mask, but just as his hand was about to touch it, he pulled back, his expression stiffening.
In the end, he yanked his own sleep mask down over his
eyes.
Marina just wanted to zone out for a bit, so she pulled down her mask, blocking out the world and letting herself escape from everything.
She didn’t expect sleep to hit so fast. Within minutes, she drifted off before she even realized it.
Maybe it was the exhaustion from days of barely sleeping, but today, up in the air, she finally got some real rest.
When she woke up and slipped off her sleep mask, Marina peeked out the window and saw that the plane was already coming in for landing.
She could see the runway stretching out below, clear as day.
After putting her sleep mask away, Marina turned to check on Daron. She hesitated, wondering if she should wake him, only to realize he was already awake, watching her with a cool, unreadable look as he spoke in a low voice.
“Did you go out stealing cows last night or something?” Daron asked.
His voice was thick with resentment.
Marina paused, a little confused. “Did you call me?”
‘Was I really that knocked out? I didn’t feel a thing, Marina wondered to herself.
Daron didn’t answer. He just looked away from her, checked his watch, and said in a low voice.
“You slept for a full seven hours. Way to go,” he said.

Marina just grinned awkwardly and didn’t say a word.
No way I slept that long, right?‘ she mused.
But then she realized they’d already flown from Vrufield all the way to Frency’s capital. So it really had been that long.
Daron exhaled deeply, his chest heaving a little.

With a resigned sigh, he tore his gaze away from Marina, worried that if he kept looking, he’d just end up making himself even more mad.
The plane landed smoothly, taxied down the runway for a while, and then came to a stop.
Marina followed Daron out of the airport, and as soon as they stepped outside, a car from the Zamora Group’s local branch was already waiting for them.
The driver came over, took Marina’s luggage, and then gestured for her to get in the car.
Marina glanced at Daron, who was already settled in the back seat. Remembering what Bette had said, she hesitated for a moment, then went to open the front passenger door.
But Daron shot her a sharp, icy glare, and the handle suddenly felt scorching in her hand.
She reached out and tried to pull it open, but the door didn’t budge, not even a little. It was locked tight.
Marina bit her lip, feeling Daron’s cold, piercing gaze on her. With her head down and under his intimidating stare, she had no choice but to slide into the back seat.
Daron’s stare sent a chill down her spine.
She managed an awkward grin, trying to explain herself.
“I… I get carsick sometimes, so I wanted to sit up front,” she said.
Daron gave her a frosty look and said in a low voice.
“Honestly, you look way more energetic than I do. Doesn’t look like you’re carsick to me,” he said.
Marina gave an awkward smile. “I’m just faking it. I might look lively, but honestly, I’m running on fumes.”
Daron gave her a sidelong look, but let it slide instead of calling her out any further.
Marina got the hint and kept quiet.
The driver hopped in, fired up the engine, and they headed off.
Marina sat in the back seat, gazing out the window.
Honestly, this was her first time ever going abroad.

Kathy made such a fuss that in the end. Marina’s plans to study abroad got shelvert
After things between Kathy and Carter really blew up. Marina went back to Sicester with her morn, and just like that, any shot she had at going abroad was gone.
Now, as Marina gazed out at the foreign streets and unfamiliar culture, her mind drifted back to the days at the Finley family home, recalling the things those etiquette teachers described to her back then, hired by Cole to teach her about Customs from all over the world.
But suddenly, those memories seemed oddly blurry. The things she used to remember so clearly, the adventures she’d once been so eager to chase, now that she was finally here, the excitement was gone.
A faint shadow flickered in Marina’s eyes as it hit her. She’d never get back the confidence she had back when Cole was by her side.
She pulled her gaze back from the window, her mind snapping back to the present.
Catching Daron watching her from the corner of her eye, she sat up a little straighter and turned to him.
“Do you need something, Mr. Zamora?” she asked.
Daron didn’t reply, just stared at her beautiful face in silence for a long moment.
Marina looked at him, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
“Mr. Zamora…” she called out softly.
Daron shifted his gaze away, his tone calm but commanding. “Make a record of
our
itinerary for this period.”
Marina nodded and hurriedly opened the notes app on her phone.
Daron stared straight ahead, his voice finally breaking the silence.
Only then did Marina learn from him that an employee in Frency had died unexpectedly.
Even though Daron took care of things himself, that just opened the door to a bunch of new headaches.
Some of the employees started making a fuss, wanting better pay and less time on the clock.
Daron fired a bunch of them, but still paid them off legally, giving out severance as required.
But even after getting their severance, those fired employees still tried to get back in at the Zamora Group.
When the Zamora Group wouldn’t take them back, they got the union involved and kicked up a fuss.
