Chapter 189 Someone Like Him.
The woman tilted her head slightly, lifting her hand to partially remove her sunglasses. Her red lips curled up as she replied in Uprian, “I know. My seat is in the aisle. I don’t want to sit there. Let’s switch. How much do you want?”
Lenora raised an eyebrow. “Sorry, I’m not switching with you.”
The woman cast a sidelong glance at Lenora, her eyes sweeping over the purse in Lenora’s hand. A mocking smile played on her lips. “That purse of yours can’t be worth more than five thousand. How about I give you that much? The ticket prices for these seats are the same. This five thousand would be like a gift to you.””
Lenora followed her gaze, giving her purse a slight shake. “It’s just eight hundred, but like I said, I’m not switching with you.”
A flicker of disdain flashed in the woman’s eyes.
She had seen plenty of such people. They earned a meager salary, saved up for years, scrimped and scraped, and finally managed to accumulate enough money for a vacation. Then they would take beautiful photos to portray themselves as wealthy and sophisticated.
“So, how much are you thinking, ten thousand?”
“No amount of money will make me switch with you.”
Seeing that Lenora still disagreed, the woman said harshly, “I’m giving you one last chance. Are you sure you want to give up this ten thousand?”
“She said she’s not switching. Are you deaf? If you keep this up, I’m calling the flight attendant!” Sophia lashed out in Uprian, her anger evident in every word. Once she finished, she switched to Clusian to vent to Lenora. “How can someone be so shameless? She’s pretty well–dressed, but she has absolutely no manners at all.”
Upon hearing this, the woman glared at Sophia. “Who are you calling shameless and without manners?”
Realizing she could understand Clusian, Sophia, without a hint of fear, said, “I’m calling you! Aren’t you rich? Why did you buy an economy–class ticket? You should be in first class. The economy cabin is too small to accommodate someone of your stature!”
“Hah, I am rich. The amount of money I have is something you two paupers could never earn in your lifetimes. Jealous, aren’t you? Do you really think I’d choose to stay in this cramped, shabby economy cabin if my friend hadn’t made a booking mistake? I initially wanted to show you some respect, but if you don’t want it, then forget it!”
After speaking, the woman stormed off to find the flight attendant for an upgrade.
Lenora and Sophia took their seats.
“It’s a big world out there. You can find all sorts of characters. Who on earth is she?” Sophia grumbled.
“We don’t need to worry about her, Lenora said. “It’s actually better now that she’s gone. We have more space for ourselves.”

Chapter 189 Someone Like Him
In the first–class cabin, after her upgrade, the

man’s motions were still turbulent. She stood listlessly by
the aisle and commanded the man in the seat in Uprian, “Let me through.”
The man remained still, giving her a casual glance.
Only then did the woman take notice of the man’s features and a glimmer of astonishment flashed in her
eyes.
It was her first time seeing such a handsome man.
He had full brows, deep–set eyes, and a high, straight nose bridge–features typically seen in Epean bone structure. Yet, over this framework, his face carried the unmistakable traits of Aplothian heritage.
His eyes, nose, mouth, and jawline–all his features–captivated the woman.
She quickly masked her displeasure, replacing it with a gentle smile. Her long lashes fluttered as she said, “Excuse me, hello, could you let me through?”
Only then did the man retract his long legs.
The woman walked past him and took a seat,
After she had passed by
the man stretched out his long legs again.
The long legs she once complained about were now the man’s greatest asset.
She covertly glanced at the man a few times, guessing that he was at least six feet tall.
After she had taken her seat, the man continued to peruse the Uprian–only magazine in his hands.
Her gaze lingered on his hands. His fingers were fair, slender, and long, each knuckle clearly defined. Veins subtly traced patterns across the back of his hand, adding a gentle unevenness.
On the surface, she appeared calm, but inside, she was brimming with excitement. Even his hands were incredibly attractive.
It had been a while since she last encountered a man who so perfectly matched her tastes.
If missed, she wouldn’t know where to find someone like him again.
The plane took off and once it reached high altitude, it stabilized.
“It’s all right,” the man responded in Uprian, his voice deep.
She quickly continued the conversation, “Where are you headed?*
