Chapter 314 - Team of six (3) (2/2)
”Yes, he is.”, JoAnna remembered Jeff's huge smile and that he made her repeat few times that she will live with him.
”Are you celebrating?”
”Maybe later. He is at work.” JoAnna paused. ”Sarah... take care tonight.”
”I will be careful, don't worry. I'm not going alone.”
JoAnna know that Aiden will be with Sarah, but she is still worried. She exhaled. ”OK. I will see you later at a conference call.”
Sarah hanged up and walked to the study room. ”JoAnna passed the interview. She starts her residence next week, as soon as some paperwork is filled.” She sat in her office chair.
”Nice. Jeff must be happy.” Aiden responded without lifting his gaze from his work. Noticing that she is sitting without using the PC, Aiden looked at her. ”What is going on?”
Sarah hesitated for some time. ”Do you remember when you met Eve first time, I gave you a passcode?”*
Aiden had to think for some time. He met Eve several months ago. ”Yes.”
”Do you remember the passcode?”
Aiden nodded. He also has a very good memory, not as good as Sarah, but much better than average. Remembering eight digits is a child's play for him. ”I never got a chance to use them.”
”If you use it, Eve will give you creator's access to her features.” Sarah explained.
Aiden was startled. ”What? Why would you give me that?” He knows that Eve is precious to Sarah and she is not willing to share her. She gave him that passcode months ago, and he wanted to ask what is it for, but he forgot.
”Right now, there are few features that only I can use. And I'm the only one with access to her source code. If you use that passcode, you will get these privileges.” Sarah's head was lowered, Aiden could not see her expression.
”Why would you give me that?” Aiden repeated his question. He had an ominous feeling.
”Just in case, if something happens to me, you can take care of Eve.” Sarah didn't lift her head.
Aiden stood up and walked to her. He kneeled in front of her so that his head is within her vision range. ”What do you think will happen to you?”
Sarah shrugged. ”I don't know... it's just that all this with Philip and Ed is making me feel... uncomfortable. As much as I like to think that I'm invincible, I know that things can take a turn for the worse in second...” Sarah saw Aiden's glum expression and smiled. ”You are the only one with required skillset that I can trust with Eve.”
”I appreciate your thought. But I will not use that passcode. Ever.”
”As long as you remember it, I will be at ease.”
Aiden felt as his heart is breaking. ”What do you mean 'at ease'?” He pulled her down from the chair into his embrace. ”Sarah, you are acting strange since last night. Why are you making this sound as if you are saying goodbye.”
Sarah hugged him back. ”I'm not saying that... I will never leave you, not willingly, and there is no force that can keep me away from you. You know that.”
”As long as you know that, it will all be fine.” Aiden hugged her tightly and reminded himself that all this must be very stressful for Sarah. She is the victim in all this, because he was not capable enough to keep her safe. Last night she heard another horrifying piece of Philip's plan. If she didn't manage to escape... Aiden was not able to finish his thought. It was revolting that people like that exist, not caring about others. And this bunch of scums actually dared to hurt Sarah. ”Tonight, let's get our revenge. We can let all of this out.”
”I look forward to it.” Sarah smiled.
”Promise me that you will not do anything reckless.” He demanded.
Sarah nodded. ”Tonight, if you don't agree with something, I will not do it.” She promised.
