Marcus looked like he might faint. The captain—the captain was apologizing to her!"No, thank you, Captain," Seraphina said, her voice perfectly clear. "My safety is not at risk. The threat has been neutralized. But please pass my thanks to the cockpit crew, and I would like to speak to flight attendant Ben Carter in the galley at his convenience.""Understood, Ms. Jordan. Morrison out."Seraphina sat back down in 1A. She looked at Marcus, who was now a puddle of terror in his $4,000 suit."Please, Ms. Jordan," he begged, leaning out. "My job... I'm a partner at Greystone Capital. We... we do business with airlines. This... this can't get out. Please. I'll do anything. I'll donate to your... your favorite charity. A... a large amount."Seraphina looked at him, her expression unreadable. "Mr. Thorne, you have spent the last two hours providing me with the most valuable, unfiltered market research I have ever received. You exposed a critical weakness in my company's culture. I should be thanking you."She picked up her laptop."Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a $1.2 billion acquisition to review. I suggest you use the next three hours to contact your legal counsel. I know I will be contacting mine."She closed her suite door, and the "Do Not Disturb" light glowed amber once more.For Marcus Thorne, it was the end of the world.For the remainder of the flight, the first-class cabin of AuraJet 101 was a tomb. The meal service was not resumed. The lights were dimmed, but no one slept. The other passengers, having witnessed the entire drama, stayed silent, occasionally exchanging wide-eyed glances. Chloe never reopened her suite door; muffled sobs could be heard from within.Marcus Thorne sat ramrod straight, his face slick with a cold sweat. He didn't drink. He didn't move. He just stared at the bulkhead, his empire crumbling in his mind. He knew what contacting legal counsel meant: this wasn't just a customer service complaint; this was a corporate-level incident.Meanwhile, in the forward galley, a different scene was playing out. Seraphina had stepped out of her suite and quietly entered the galley, where Ben Carter and a terrified Evelyn Shaw were standing.Seraphina first addressed the young man. "Ben, is it? Ben Carter?"
