Chapter 188 - Back home (1) (2/2)
”You are not allowed to work until you recuperate.” Aiden was taking it seriously. She needs to recuperate first.
”What does that mean?”
”See this?” Aiden lifted his arms straight above his head. ”When you can do this without any pain, then you are cleared for work.”
Sarah lifted her arms in front of her and winced. There was no way to lift them higher, she felt that her insides are tearing apart. ”That might take a while.”
”Then... it will take a while for you to do any work.” Aiden told her with a smirk.
Sarah pouted in protest, but Aiden's expression told her that there will be no compromise.
He almost lost her, again. He will make sure that she takes her time and recuperate. This was serious. Aiden thinks that Sarah is not aware how close she was to dying this time. Or maybe she just choses to ignore that fact. But he can't forget the agony he felt when she fell in the mall, while he held her in the cab, watching her hooked up to those machines, waiting for her to come from surgery… He was in hell until she called his name and pulled him out of it.
...
Dinner was lively. Besides Stella, Edward, Sarah and Aiden, JoAnna, Sophia and Felix were also there.
”When are you going to New York?”, Stella asked Sophia.
”After dinner we will head to the airport. Company jet is already waiting.”
”You will come back with Sophia?” Stella looked at Felix.
”Yes, madam.”, Felix responded.
Edward was looking at Felix. ”What are you... in the company?” He wanted to ask what he is to Sophia but changed his mind in the last moment.
”He designs security devices. You two should have a lot to talk about.”, Sophia responded instead of Felix.
Sophia turned to Felix, ”Dad is director for software development, but in his free time he works on all kinds of gadgets. Also, his department will develop software for your creations.”
Stella looked at her husband. ”It seems you will get to meet each other often, if nothing else then for the meeting of directors once a week.”
Edward nodded. He wanted a confirmation if Felix and Sophia are dating, but he was not sure how to ask.
Stella looked at Sophia and Felix, ”Will you be back by next weekend?”
”Definitely” Sophia confirmed.
Stella smiled and shook her head. ”That settles it. Next Saturday we will host a party!”
Everyone looked at Stella.
Edward was first to speak. ”What party?”
”We didn't host one in a while... let's celebrate Sarah's recovery.” Stella responded.
”How about we don't advertise that I had a need to recover.” Sarah protested. ”This is not something I'm proud of.”
Stella understood and scaled down her excitement. ”OK. Then we celebrate that Sarah is finishing last semester at University.”
Sarah shook her head. ”Do you need a reason?”
”Not really... but it will give us a theme.” Stella smiled.
