Chapter 250 - I cant stay away (1/2)
JoAnna spent most of the Monday walking through the neighborhood and relaxing in the apartment while Sarah and Aiden were at work. On Tuesday, Sarah offered to bring her to work and show her around, but JoAnna refused saying that she still wants to rest. In reality, she didn't want to risk bumping into Jeff. Sarah didn't think much about it and went to work.
That day, after lunch, Sarah met with Bridgette for a coffee. Two of them chatted, when they saw Jeff pass near them, followed by his assistant, Steve.
Jeff saw Sarah and walked to her. ”Sarah, if you get a chance this afternoon, after four, stop by my office. I want to find out about your progress on security.” He ignored Bridgette. The scene of her shameless behavior still made him feel uncomfortable.
”Sure.” Sarah looked at Steve. ”Can you book his calendar for four? I will be there.”
Jeff and Steve walked away. Bridgette stared at Steve, not noticing that Jeff ignored her.
”Now what?”, Sarah teased Bridgette seeing her expression.
”Who is that man?” Bridgette asked.
”CEO White?” Sarah thought that Bridgette should know Jeff, right?
”No, the other one.”
”Steve?” Sarah was surprised that Bridgette noticed Steve. Steve is overall good looking, but next to Jeff, average at best. But that is only her opinion. ”He is CEO's assistant.”
”Mmm, maybe he can book my calendar as well...” Bridgette mumbled.
Sarah laughed. ”What you have seems to be incurable.”
Seeing that Bridgette is still looking after them, even after they entered the elevator, Sarah stopped teasing her. ”Hey, how come you didn't say anything to him?”
Usually Bridgette didn't hold herself back in saying something shameful to men who she finds attractive. But this time, it was different. Sarah found that amusing. ”How about I find out for you if he is single?”
”Can you?” Bridgette's eyes sparkled.
”I'm going to see him at four when I go for my meeting.” Sarah winked.
”Then I will thank you for your trouble.”
...
At four o'clock, Sarah got to CEO's office.
Steve was about to leave the office and give her and Jeff privacy to talk, when Sarah called out to him. ”Steve, are you single or taken?”
Steve was surprised by this, and so was Jeff. They both looked at Sarah.
Sarah awkwardly clarified. ”Hey, not for me... one of my friends was wondering.”
Steve still stared at Sarah. ”Single.”
”Thank you for your response.” Sarah nodded.
”Is that all?” Steve was embarrassed.
”For now.” Sarah was amused by his expression. 'How can a grown man blush like that? If he ends up meeting with Bridgette, she will eat him up.'
Steve was surprised by Sarah's question, and it made him very uncomfortable. But he decided to push it aside as if nothing happened.
