Chapter 107 - Security enhancement (2) (1/2)

Next morning, Sarah got an invitation from Jeff to have an online meeting at 11 in the morning to discuss her proposal.

Sarah joined meeting from her study room. There was three more people present. They are people who currently handle security for White corp. Sarah met with them last Friday, so they are familiar with each other. Sarah's opinion is that they are competent people who know their work, but they lack knowledge about latest tools and practices.

In the meeting she discussed her proposal and answered questions they had. Once the meeting was over, Jeff asked Sarah to stay online, while others left the session.

”Based on this, we will need to develop new scripts, enhance existing tools and customize at least four tools which we are currently not using. Is that correct?” Jeff summarized Sarah's proposal very well.

”Yes.”, Sarah confirmed.

”How much time do you think it will take for this work?”

”I can do it in about two months.” Sarah answered honestly.

”How about someone who is not you?” This was Jeff's fear. He already saw how quickly Sarah completes her tasks.

”I will need to explain what needs to be done, so that integration is seamless. But how long it will take to develop, it will depend on the skill set of that person.” This was the best answer Sarah could provide Jeff.

”OK. Thank you for the information. I let you know my decision shortly.”

”No problem, thank you.” Sarah logged off and thought that the meeting went rather well.

When she got out of the study few minutes later, she found that Aiden in on the phone with Jeff. She gestured with her hand for him to go to the study, so he can talk. 'I think we need two study rooms. Maybe the exercise room can be made into a second study. We are not using it for exercising anyway.' The exercise room has a hardwood floor, and one wall was a mirror. Sarah was thinking to add some exercising equipment, but she didn't get to it, so it was still completely empty.

After some time, Aiden got out of the study. He looked at her and smiled.

”What?”, she could tell that something is going on.

”Patience, you will get a call from Jeff soon. Or do you want me to spoil it for you?”

Sarah was not known as a patient person, ”Yes, spoil it for me. What is it?”

”He thinks your proposal is... ”, Aiden paused.

”What???”, Sarah wanted him to finish his sentence.

”This is insiders' information... you need to pay for it.”

”Seriously...”, she rolled her eyes. Every time he mentions payment, they end up in the bed. It's not that she does not like it, but he does not need to make it sound like it is a treat that she needs to earn.

”I didn't say what I want”, he innocently said, noticing change in her mood.

Sarah exhaled, ”Fine. What do you want?”

”Make me a dinner.” Aiden noticed that Sarah does not cook much, even though she is capable of making delicious dishes. He enjoys eating her food and hopes that she will cook more. At least for him

She was surprised by this simple request. ”Oh, OK. I will. Tonight, after I'm done with Viv, I will go get groceries and make dinner. Does that sound good? ”

”Yes”, he approved.
