Judd's brow furrowed in disbelief. "Not a single room available?"

The cabin manager's response bore a note of concern. “If the distance proves too great, it might cause inconvenience to you."

Before Judd could press further, Raegan intervened, “It's quite alright. We'll manage here."

Exhaling a sigh of relief, the cabin manager felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. She had been concerned about failing to cater to the needs of the VIP guests and potentially facing complaints.

However, observing Raegan's cooperative demeanor since boarding the plane, the cabin manager couldn't help but feel apologetic. As a result, her demeanor softened even further, reflecting her desire to ensure Raegan's comfort. She extended an offer to assist Raegan in arranging a series of spa services, but Raegan politely declined, intending only to retreat to her hotel room and indulge in a relaxing bath.

With a gentle nod, Raegan dismissed the cabin manager, saying, “You needn't worry about us. Carry on with your duties."

“Very well, I wish you a pleasant stay," the cabin manager replied, departing with a gentle nod.

Raegan, retrieving her phone, perused her messages while Judd couldn't help but grumble, "This airline is truly abysmal..."

Judd's complaint was cut short by a commotion from the front of the plane, where a voice exclaimed loudly, "You there! Who allowed you to take photos? The bride doesn't allow photos!"

Raegan could see only the pale side of a woman's face and a flash of her wedding dress. It was Katie, unmistakable in her bridal gown.

The dress cast a spell, illuminating Katie's usually dull complexion with a delicate radiance.

As Katie turned toward the elevator, her eyes met Raegan's. A flicker of surprise crossed her features, but she quickly composed herself.

Raegan expected Katie to seize this moment to exchange barbs, yet Katie looked away, letting her assistant guide her into the elevator.

Without Katie's distinctive look, Raegan might have doubted what she saw. Typically, Katie wouldn't miss a chance to taunt her.

When the elevator doors closed, concealing the last of the wedding dress, Raegan felt as if she were in a dream. Ever since Mitchel had banished her from Ardlens, she had not expected to find herself at his wedding.

Lost in her reverie, Katie's assistant, who had spoken earlier, approached Raegan abruptly. “Hey, why are you still holding your phone up?"

Looking around, Raegan realized it was just her and Judd nearby, and she was the only one with a phone. At that moment, she understood the assistant's accusation. "I wasn't taking pictures; I was just checking my phone," she clarified.

Ignoring her explanation, Katie's assistant attempted to snatch Raegan's phone but Judd intervened with a firm grip.

“Back off!" Judd commanded sharply.

"You!" The assistant winced, twisting his wrist from the grip, and called over to a passing waiter. “What's this about? Weren't we supposed to not allow phones here today?"
