Chapter 31: Accompanying Amelia on a Business Trip

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, as soon as Clair arrived at the company, he was called to the office by Amelia.

“Clair, pack up and accompany me on a business trip,” said Amelia.

Clair was stunned.

“Me?” Clair asked doubtfully.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Amelia looked calm.

“It’s not that there’s a problem. I’m just a little curious why Miss CEO would call me,” Clair asked directly.

Amelia smiled and said, “You’ve been doing so well recently. First, you helped the company avoid a major loss. Then, you got that client with Rui Ya. I’ve decided to train you well!”

Amelia thought of a reason.

‘If I let you stay with Rui Ya again, something might happen. I have to separate the two of you for a period of time!’

Clair was surprised to hear what Amelia was thinking.

‘Is this what Amelia really thinks? Separating me and Rui Ya? It seems Amelia is still very concerned about the incident from last time. However, it makes sense. An office romance was not appropriate in any company. As the CEO, it’s reasonable for her to have such considerations.’

“But this is too sudden. I didn’t even prepare my luggage.”

“It’s okay. We’ll only be gone for a day or two. The luggage isn’t anything urgent. Go pack up.”

“Such short notice?” Although Clair still felt that something was off, he did not say anything more since Amelia had already said so. He nodded and left the office to pack up.

Half an hour later, Amelia knocked on Clair’s office door.

“Clair, are you ready to go?”

“I’m coming.”

With that, Clair carried his backpack and left the office.

At this moment, Rui Ya walked out of the office and looked curiously at Clair.

“I don’t understand. I really don’t understand. Why would the CEO bring him along on a business trip?”

“I really envy that kid. He has the chance to interact with the CEO alone!”

“If you’re as handsome as him and have his recent performance, I believe the CEO will bring you along.” The voices of the colleagues beside Rui Ya reached her ears.

Rui Ya’s expression suddenly became a little complicated. She had always guessed that Amelia also had feelings for Clair. She could tell from Amelia’s reaction when she found out that she had spent the night at Clair’s house.

Seeing Clair leave the company with Amelia, Rui ya was lost in thought.

An hour later, on the plane from Lund City to Nuoding City.

Amelia bought two business-class tickets. To be honest, this was Clair’s first time on a plane, and also his first time leaving Lund City, so everything around him was extremely novel and he kept looking around.

Soon, they arrived at their seats. Clair noticed that Amelia’s condition was a little strange.

From the moment they boarded the plane, Amelia did not say a word. She looked a little nervous, and even a stewardess’s reminder gave her a shock!

Sitting in her seat, her entire body tensed. Her head leaned against the chair, and her hands tightly gripped the seat belt.

Clair sat down as well. He could feel that Amelia was trying to regulate her breathing, which made him very curious.

“Miss CEO, are you not feeling well?” Clair asked with concern.

Amelia turned around and forced a smile. “I’m fine. I just feel a little bored.”

Clair was a little worried when he saw Amelia’s stiff expression.

Soon, the plane started to move, the runway started to run up, the roar of the plane started to roar, Amelia’s expression changed from nervousness to fear.

In the next moment, Amelia suddenly held Clair’s hand tightly.

Clair was shocked and turned to look at Amelia, only to see that she was in exactly the same state as when he went to the amusement park to take the jump machine.

As the plane slowly rose into the air, the feeling of weightlessness began to appear. Amelia had already closed her eyes completely, and her grip on Clair’s hand tightened, so much so that it left a red mark.

A few minutes later, the plane finally stabilized. Clair heard Amelia let out a sigh of relief, and her grip on his hand relaxed a little.

“Miss CEO, are you okay?” Clair asked with concern again. Amelia did not look like she was just a little bored.

Hearing Clair’s voice, Amelia snapped out of her nervousness and realized that she was holding Clair’s hand tightly. Embarrassed, she immediately let go of Clair’s hand.

“I’m sorry,” Amelia apologized awkwardly.

“Miss CEO, are you really okay?”

“It’s fine. It’s an old problem. I’ll be fine after getting used to it,” Amelia explained.

“An old problem?” Clair was even more confused.

“Clair, do you know about claustrophobia?” Amelia asked after a moment of hesitation.

Clair nodded.

“My condition is due to this illness. It’s just that I have claustrophobia derived from flying phobia. It happens every time I take a plane, so if it’s possible, I’d rather not take a plane for the rest of my life!”

“However, you don’t have to worry. I’ll be fine as long as I get off the plane,” Amelia looked at Clair’s worried expression and comforted him.

“Miss CEO, if you feel uncomfortable, let me know at any time!” Clair said gently.

Hearing Clair’s concern, Amelia smiled and felt warm in her heart.

“Yes, but don’t tell anyone else about this, especially my colleagues in the company. I’ve always been swift and decisive in front of them, and I’m not afraid of anything. If they find out that their CEO is actually afraid of flying, I wonder if they’ll laugh at me,” Amelia joked.

Clair was also amused by Amelia’s words. He did not expect her to have such a cute side.

Clair nodded seriously, indicating that he would definitely keep this secret.

After another ten minutes, Amelia suddenly turned around and looked at Clair with a depressed expression.

“Miss CEO, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Clair said worriedly.

Amelia shook her head, and her face turned red.

“Clair, umm… Can you hold my hand?”
