Chapter 315 - Team of six (4) (2/2)
JoAnna nodded. ”I will go to Seattle for this.”
Jeff and JoAnna talked about this but hearing her say it again made Jeff frown. He didn't like the idea of JoAnna going to Seattle without him, but he can't go with her because he needs to stay in person to navigate stock market purchases.
Sophia saw Jeff frown and smiled. ”We will meet again on Tuesday evening to discuss results. If anyone needs a meeting earlier, we can arrange that. Let's stay focused next four days, so that we can celebrate on Tuesday.”
”It would be better if we can celebrate together, all six of us, together.” JoAnna added.
”How about next weekend?” Sophia suggested.
”We are going to check out progress on our house building over weekend...” Sarah thought of an idea. ”Do you want to join? We can make an event. Camping at the beach? Our team of six?”
JoAnna looked at Jeff and smiled. ”That would be nice. Count us in.”
Sophia was reluctant. She looked at Felix who made a gesture that it's up to her, and then agreed. ”OK. We are in.”
”Great!” Sarah exclaimed. ”We can all meet in LA on Saturday morning, and head to our house site from there. I will arrange transportation. Sophia, if you come on Friday evening, or if you want to stay longer, you are welcome to stay at our place. You didn't get a chance to see it yet.”
”Our place also is available!” JoAnna exclaimed.
Jeff liked that she called it 'our place'.
”You want us to stay overnight camping?” Sophia was not very excited about that.
”Yes, we can go there Saturday morning, and head back on Sunday evening.” Sarah responded and observed Sophia's worried expression. ”Don't worry, I will take care of everything. You just show up and bring any personal items you might need.” Sarah knows that Sophia is not really an outdoorsy person.
Felix looked at Sophia. ”If we go to LA, maybe we find some time for you to meet my sister.”
”Bridgette?” Sarah chimed in.
”You know her?” Felix was surprised.
Sarah bobbed her head excitedly. ”Yes, yes. She works at White corp. We meet for coffee sometimes. I like her very much. Aiden knows her also.”
”Do I know her?” Jeff asked.
”Maybe... she is Steve's girlfriend.” Sarah was happy to talk about Bridgette.
Felix's expression stiffened. It was as if dark clouds circled above his head.
”I didn't meet her yet. Today Steve took an afternoon off to spend with her.” Jeff responded.
If there were any dark clouds above Felix's head, they just became darker and thunderous. No one noticed this change.
Seeing that this talk is going off track and Sarah and Aiden have tasks to do later, Sophia interrupted them. ”OK. OK.... let's end this chat for tonight...”
They ended the chat with reminders for Aiden and Sarah to be careful.
Aiden observed Sarah who was now in good mood while thinking of camping with her sisters. He sighed in relief. When Sarah talked about giving him full access to Eve, Aiden had a bad feeling that she will be reckless and do something crazy. But now that she has plans for next weekend and is smiling, puts his mind at ease.
