บท 254: Saving Grace

Jerlina leaned on Jeremy as they were taken to the airport. This was the first time she was riding a Rolls Royce car. 

She's been living in luxury these past few days. And she wouldn't lie; she is tempted by all these luxuries. 

In the back of her mind, she did remember her grandpa's words not to go behind the luxuries offered by excessive money. 

But is it wrong to be filthy rich?

As soon as they reached the airport, they were welcomed with a red carpet, literally. Neatly suited men were standing on the ends of the carpet with their heads bowed and their hands on their hearts.

Jerlina gulped and held Jeremy's hand tightly. She looked at Jeremy. With his jaws clenched and eyes forward, he didn't look fazed. It seemed like he was used to their gesture and accepts it.

Noticing her glance at him, he looked down at her. His sharp countenance gentled down considerably as he smiled at her. His gentle nod and affirming eyes calmed her down.
