Evelin's POV
That was... the Apex Airways press conference.
I watched Grace's eyes glue themselves to the electronic screen.
The news announcer's voice cut through the mall again:
"After a comprehensive investigation, Apex Airways has made the decision to terminate Grace's contract.
Starting now, she no longer holds any role within Apex Airways..."
Grace went ghost-white, and I could see the pure shock and disbelief wash over her face as the reality hit her.
Her phone buzzed with a new message right then. With shaking hands, she opened it, finding an official termination notice from Apex Airways.
Her grip on the phone became so unsteady I thought she might drop it.
"Grace, what's all this about losing your hero status? And Apex Airways letting you go?"
Dalia's voice carried pure bewilderment.
Grace looked completely stunned, unable to form any response.
"Mom, let it go," Grey muttered.
"Let it go? Does this mean Grace's not a co-pilot anymore?" Dalia pushed.
