Chapter 145 - Getting closer (8) (1/2)

~ Fairfield, Sarah's apartment ~

That evening Sarah got into the study and saw that Aiden is video chatting with someone. The male voice was familiar. When Aiden noticed Sarah, he quickly finished his chat. ”OK. I need to go now. We will talk more at a later time. I sent you requirements, let me know if you have any questions.” He disconnected the chat.

Sarah noticed the secrecy, and her curiosity awakened. ”Who was that?”

”No one important”, Aiden defensively waved his hands.

”Really? Since when you chat with random people?” Sarah thought for a moment. ”Was that Felix?”

Aiden didn't respond.

”Why are you chatting with Felix? Did something happen to Sophia?” Sarah paused and analyzed, ”Even if something happened, why would he talk to you... You are hiding something... What is it?”

Aiden looked desperate, ”Sarah, let this go... please? Can I have anything left to surprise you?”

Sarah pursed her lips and nodded. ”OK. I will stop asking you.”, Sarah turned around and left the study. The moment door closed behind her, she texted Sophia.

[Sarah]: ”Do you know what Aiden and Felix are up to? I just caught them video chatting...”

Sarah locked her phone and smiled playfully. 'I said I will stop asking you, not that I will stop asking.'

~ New York ~

In a two-bedroom apartment on the seventh floor Felix was looking at the requirements document that Aiden sent him. ”Huh, to get it down to this size might be challenging, and the timeline is crazy. But I will do my best. Who knows, maybe someday we become family.” Felix opened his notepad and started sketching a design with a title ”µ GPS*”.

...

Sophia just got out of the shower and heard her phone beep with notification for new message. She checked it and read text from Sarah. Sophia responded to her:

[Sophia]: ”No idea. I will follow up with Felix.”

Sophia thought for a minute and texted Felix:

[Sophia]: ”Are you using company resources for private work?”

He responded within seconds.

[Felix]: ”Only if it's for a lady from Hill family.”

[Sophia]: ”What are you up to?”

[Felix]: ”Don't spoil the surprise for your sister... Keep your next Saturday free.”

[Sophia]: ”What is next Saturday?”

[Felix]: ”Don't spoil the surprise for yourself”
