How could she refuse the graduation gift from her father's boss when her father's job depended on her actions? "You can come if you want." The response from Luke did not surprise Mia as she had seen the change in his attitude towards her. Luke's father handed Mia a plane ticket to travel to Paris to meet his son who was meant to be her future husband. Son of the employer and the daughter of the family driver and the family maid, Luke and Mia were inseparable growing up and were considered childhood sweethearts. First time on a plane, Mia was lucky to meet Naomi who was on her way to join her brother Eric as he celebrated his birthday at his holiday villa. "Gentleman the girl doesn't know you and her boyfriend is not in the country. She is my sister's friend and so she will come with us. Your friend can contact us when he is back." Eric stopped the men who were sent by Luke from taking Mia from the airport to their apartment. Was Eric just helping his sister's new friend or he had other plans?
"I'm really sorry, I thought I was in the right seat." Naomi said as she realised that she was in the wrong seat.
Naomi was a regular traveler and always asked for a window seat. This time her brother's assistant booked the flight for her, and she forgot to tell her that she preferred the window seat.
"Hi, I'm Naomi Wells and again sorry for taking your seat." Naomi smiled as she spoke to Mia who had just taken her seat.
"Nice to meet you Naomi, I'm Mia Fowler and don't laugh this is my first time on a plane." Mia chuckled as the girls shook hands. Since it was Mia's first time flying, she had requested the window seat.
Earlier in that Tuesday morning Mia was awoken by her mother to prepare for her trip to Paris. Her mother did not want her to miss her flight as she was happy for her daughter's first trip abroad.
She had laughed at her mother for waking her up that early and yet she had an evening flight.
Everyone she knew who had travelled by air had been telling her the beauty of watching the city when a plane descends. She was not prepared to miss that.
"Today is your lucky day, I'm always in the air and don't worry I will look after you." Naomi said as the two girls fastened their seat belts.
Naomi at twenty two had been to many places in the world. She had just returned home from Boston and was now heading to Paris to meet her brother who had decided to celebrate his thirtieth birthday there.
Naomi and her brother Eric lost their parents and her thirty year old brother took over the family business when he was just twenty four. He had been looking after her since she was sixteen.
Eric had the help of his father's lawyer to secure his position in the father's company. His father's relatives wanted to grab everything that their parents had worked for.
He had now developed his father's company into a major player in business as the president of the Wells Pharmaceutical Group.
Mia at twenty four had just completed university studying fashion design. Her father worked as a driver for the Hill Group. He had worked for the Hills for almost twenty years.
Her mother had worked as maid at the at the Hill mansion for years but left recently as Mia had finished university. Her mother made the decision to leave as it was now only her young brother that needed looking after.
"So, Mia are you travelling to Paris for business or pleasure?" Naomi started a conversation when they were now airborne. She had seen that Mia was now relaxed.
"To be honest I don't even know what I should call it. "Mia said and she could see that Naomi was puzzled by her statement.
After graduation Mr. Hill congratulated her with a ticket to Paris to meet his son Luke. Mia and Luke were considered childhood sweethearts as they were inseparable whilst growing up.
Luke went abroad to study whilst Mia went to the local university.
Mia noticed that Luke's attitude towards her had changed at the end of his first year abroad. He would not call for weeks and would complain if Mia called him. He would tell her that she should wait for his calls.
Mia's father needed the job at the Hill Group, so Mia just did what Luke's father asked her to do. She accepted the plane ticket from Luke's father as she was worried about her father losing his job. She had already lost faith in her relationship with Luke.
"Does he even know that you are coming?" Naomi asked looking concerned after hearing Mia talk about her relationship with Luke.
"Yes, he does, but he was not enthusiastic about it. He just said I can come if I want to." She paused for a while and continued.
"I haven't got a job yet and my thirteen year old brother is still in school. My father still needs the job." Mia said and Naomi felt sorry for her.
Naomi could see that Mia did not have any choice but to do what her father's employer wanted.
Mia continued. "I have heard stories about people who are left stranded at airports, and I hope I won't be one of them."
Naomi was now feeling sorry for her travel companion as she had witnessed these stories. She could see that that although Mia was older than her, she was still very innocent.
"I will give you my number, but I don't know how long my brother wants me to stay in Paris." Naomi offered as she could see the possibility of Mia struggling in Paris.
"Oh, so you are visiting your brother does he work there?" Mia asked and Naomi could tell that she really envied her.
Naomi chuckled. "He is here to celebrate his thirtieth birthday so I had to come or else I would lose my allowances."
"What about your parents surely they can override his decisions." Mia was confused. She could not understand how a brother could control his sister's allowances.
"My brother is both my father and mother." Naomi explained her life to Mia who tried to imagine how Naomi's life was being looked after by a brother.
She continued. "You know what, even if you are not stranded, I will be happy for you to come to the party."
The two girls talked as if they had known each other for years. Naomi did not mind that the two were from different social backgrounds.
Her brother had tried hard to protect her and was very particular about the type of friends she associated with.
Naomi loved fashion and was fascinated by the fact that Mia studied fashion design. She was lucky to view some of Mia's amazing designs as she had them with her.
"This is beautiful Mia. You can make it big with these kinds of ideas." Naomi enthusiastically said and Mia looked excited as well. "You only need to meet the right people." Naomi concluded.
The two girls slept for some hours and Mia was woken up by Naomi as the plane started to descend. She did not want her to miss the stunning morning landing.
Naomi could see how Mia gazed outside the window and could also not help worrying for her as she was not sure if the boyfriend would be waiting for her at the airport.
The plane finally landed, and the two girls walked together through the customs hall. Naomi was familiar with all procedures and Mia was grateful for her help.
