Chapter 225 - WV Steakhouse (3) (2/2)

When Sarah and Isabella got out of the washroom, Sarah almost bumped into the bodyguard who was right at the door. Sarah was startled for a moment, seeing how his hands were clenching into fists, and her muscles tensed up reflexively, ready to attack. Isabella grabbed Sarah's hand and smiled at the bodyguard to assure him that it's OK. He relaxed after few seconds and went back to his position at the bar without a word.

”I don't know what made me more anxious... you taking so long in the washroom or that bodyguard lurking at the doors for fifteen minutes already.”, Aiden welcomed them with a frown, when they returned to their seats.

”Did we really take that long?” Sarah was surprised. ”We chatted a bit. Girl talk.”

Shortly after that, they left the restaurant. Sarah and Isabella exchanged contact information, and Isabella promised to Sarah VIP invites for her upcoming exhibition. It will be an invite-only exhibition, so people without invitation can't attend.

”If you can send me an invite for five that would be perfect” Sarah wants to have enough invitations for everyone.

”Five?” Isabella was curious.

”I'm sure that my sisters would love to come, one of them has a boyfriend, and I'm not coming without my man.” Sarah held Aiden's hand.

Isabella smiled and nodded.

Jeff's ears perked up... did he hear that right? 'Did Sarah just now said that her SISTERS will go to some exhibition? What exhibition? When? Where?' Oh, how he felt remorse for not paying attention to their talk during lunch. But he will find out... somehow. 'Wait a minute... did Sarah said one of them has a boyfriend? Does JoAnna have a boyfriend?' This caused quite a stir in Jeff's mind. He struggled to keep his face calm, but his eyes showed a storm raging inside him.

Jeff, Aiden, and Sarah watched Isabella drive away with her bodyguard as a driver.

Jeff turned to Aiden and Sarah. ”When are you two going back?”

”Tonight”, Aiden responded.

Jeff turned to Sarah. ”How are you with your work? Is everything going well? Let me know if I can help you in any way. Don't be shy to ask for help... we are almost family.” He spoke much more and faster than usual.

Sarah was surprised, but politely responded. ”I'm doing fine. No problems.” This is out of character for Jeff. After some thinking, Sarah concluded that Jeff is this polite because she helped to entertain Isabella. And his rapid talk is due to him being nervous, again, because of Isabella.
