lush chairs, Jennifer’s mouth gawked. The plane was wide and full of room, but there were only four chairs and each one was located by a pleasant round window to the outside. Beneath her feet was an extravagant royalty smoky quartz carpet.
“We have 12-volt outlets for your AC power needs, executive stowaway tables,” Carolyn demonstrated the ease at which the tables could be released, “a toilet located near the entrance and refreshments of juice, coffee, water, and alcoholic shots, should you prefer it, and inflight snacks and one main meal. Today, it’s a sourdough bowl of cream of broccoli soup sprinkled with cheese, a fresh mini baguette, and crackers,” Carolyn paused and smiled widely. “Will you be eating the inflight meal?”
Jennifer nodded with her mouth open, completely unaware that it had parted. “Okay. We’ll prepare your order and have it delivered as soon as we break into our cruising altitude of 35,000 feet,” she flashed Jennifer another award-winning smile and then turned to James where the smile became something else entirely.
“It’s great to see you again, Mr. Melone,” Carolyn cooed.
James grinned at her. “And you too, Carolyn. How’re your girls?”
Carolyn gushed. “Just great. Ruby received first chair in her regional city band three weeks ago. I’m so happy for her.”
“And Tammy?” James watched Carolyn brightly. Her smile fell some and she shrugged her shoulders.
“You know, teens,” she chuckled. “She sure gives me a run for my money when she’s in town, that’s for sure.” James nodded sternly.
“I’m sorry to hear that. She’s a good, bright girl, though. I guess she just has to believe it, right?” His words brought another smile to Carolyn’s face. She dabbed at her eyes and nodded emphatically.
“Thank you, for that. Thank you, Mr. Melone. Really,” she nodded again and sniffed. “Your words mean so much to me,” she stopped to clear her throat. “And would you like our inflight meal as well?”
“It sounds delicious, yes, please.”
Carolyn smiled. Jennifer sat on the left side of the plane and James was directly across from her. Even with her legs stretched out, there seemed to be about a foot of space in between them. The room inside the cabin was absolutely astounding.
“If I can please have your attention,” Carolyn grinned brightly with her eyes lingering over James, “I’ll start by giving you the safety brief.”
Jennifer didn’t listen. She heard bits and pieces, like the fact that the plane had a satellite phone she’d be able to use while in the air. That made her happy. She could make some phone calls and perhaps set a final appointment for whichever candidate she liked for Tuesday in the evening.
She was planning on heading back to the Terrance for the final interview. She loved their atmosphere, and their food. She couldn’t think of a better way to see if an assistant could handle the clout they’d be managing than giving them a taste at one of Chicago’s finest dining establishments.
After the brief, Carolyn left the small cabin, and then the plane. Jennifer found she was still holding her breath, marveling at the idea of the private jet ride. She caught James watching her and smiled at him easily.
“This is incredible,” she whispered. James nodded.
“Makes you wonder how anyone can ever go basic again, right?”
Jennifer chuckled. She lazily pulled her seat belt across her chest. In the plane, the buckles were like those in a car, across the lap and chest. She couldn’t wait to take it off once they were in the air.
“This plane flies at a high altitude. That means it’s smoother and pretty cost efficient on fuel.”
Jennifer smirked. “Jets are cost efficient?”
James laughed. “You make a good point,” he nodded to her knee. “We can take care of that now, if you want. Carolyn left the first aid supplies.”
Jennifer shrugged the question away. “Maybe we should wait, looks like we’re
