Airport Rendezvous With Boss’s Husband Takes Chilling Turn After Mysterious Fortune Teller’s Warning

Glancing at the clock, she realized it was time to leave. The taxi was already waiting outside. The drive to the airport took almost an hour.

Traffic during morning rush hour was typical for the big city. But even that couldn’t spoil Emily’s mood. She felt happier and freer than ever.

The airport was noisy and crowded. Emily found the right check-in counter and stopped, looking around for Michael. He wasn’t there yet.

She checked the time: 10:20. They still had time. The phone vibrated again.

This time, a call. «Hello,» Emily answered, expecting to hear Michael’s voice. «Emily Carter?» Came an unfamiliar woman’s voice on the line.

«This is Olivia from Victoria’s reception.» Emily tensed. «Not now.

Not a work call right before vacation. Yes, I’m listening. Victoria asked me to tell you that errors were found in the annual report.

She wants you to stay and check all the numbers again before you go on vacation. But… My flight is in three hours,» Emily said, confused. «I’m already at the airport.

Victoria said it’s very urgent. She’s counting on you.» Emily felt her insides tighten.

«It was so like Victoria to put work above everything and demand the same from subordinates. Tell Victoria that I can’t come back. I have a paid tour, and I’ve already checked in for the flight.

That was a lie.» Emily hadn’t checked in yet, but she couldn’t let work ruin her plans. «Okay, I’ll pass it on,» the secretary replied dryly and hung up.

Emily took a deep breath, trying to calm down. «Nothing will spoil her vacation. Not work, not Victoria.

She deserved this.» The phone rang again. «This time Michael.

Hi, she tried to make her voice sound cheerful and relaxed. Emily, we have a problem, Michael’s voice sounded tense.» Victoria suddenly canceled her trip to Tokyo.

She says she found some discrepancies in the reports and wants to handle it personally. Emily felt the ground slip away. «What do you mean?» «She canceled the trip.»

«She’s in the office?» «Yes, she’s there now.» «Emily, I think she suspects something.» She was asking strange questions about my plans for these two weeks.

«And what did you tell her?» «That I was going fishing with friends.» But she looked like she didn’t believe me. Emily closed her eyes.

Everything was crumbling. Their perfect plan—their long-awaited vacation. «What do we do?» «I don’t know.»

Despair was evident in Michael’s voice. «Maybe we should postpone the trip?» Emily felt a stab of disappointment. «We’ve waited so long for this, Michael.»

«Are we really going to back out at the last minute?» «Emily, if Victoria finds out about us…» «I just can’t risk it right now.» «A divorce from her would ruin me financially.» Emily was silent.

She knew Victoria was a very wealthy woman. Most of their joint property was in her name. Michael had often said he wanted to leave his wife but feared ending up with nothing.

«Okay,» Emily finally said. «But what about me?» «I’m already here, at the airport.» «Wait for me,» Michael replied.

«I’ll come, and we’ll discuss everything.» «When?» «In an hour.» «Maximum an hour and a half.»

«Right now, I have to meet with Victoria to avoid suspicion.» «Okay, I’ll wait,» Emily sighed and hung up. She was left alone in the middle of the noisy airport with her suitcase and shattered hopes.

Emily moved aside, found a free spot by the window, and sat down, watching planes take off. Each one carried someone’s dreams and plans. Her plane was supposed to depart in three hours, but now she wasn’t sure she’d be on board.

Half an hour passed, but Michael didn’t call back. Emily checked her phone several times, fearing she missed a call or message. Nothing.

She started to get nervous. What if Victoria really suspected something? What if their secret was out? Emily was so lost in thought that she didn’t notice a young woman stop next to her. She was dressed in a bright colorful skirt and a blouse with embroidery.

Dark curly hair was tied in a high bun, and around her neck hung many gold chains with coins. A beautiful girl sitting alone and looking sad. The stranger asked with a slight accent.

Emily looked up. Before her stood a young fortune teller. In airports, you could often encounter such people offering to read fortunes or just begging for money.

I’m waiting for a friend. Emily replied dryly, hoping the woman would leave. A friend? The fortune teller smiled, showing even white teeth.

Or a lover? Emily flinched. How could this woman guess? Excuse me, but I don’t… Don’t want to talk? The fortune teller interrupted her. I understand.

You have a secret. A big secret. She sat down next to Emily without asking permission.

Listen to me, beautiful. I see trouble in your eyes. Emily wanted to get up and leave, but something in the fortune teller’s words made her stay.

What trouble? The fortune teller took her hand. Her fingers were warm and dry. You’re flying with another woman’s husband, she said quietly.

You think you love him, but he’s leading you into a trap. Emily sharply pulled her hand away. Who are you? Who sent you? The fortune teller shook her head.

No one, beautiful. I just see what others don’t notice. And I see danger.

What danger? Despite her skepticism, Emily felt a chill run down her spine. Return your ticket, the fortune teller said firmly. Go back to work and look in your office.

There you’ll find answers. Emily felt a lump in her throat. Who are you? How do you know about my work? The fortune teller smiled mysteriously…
