Chapter 478 - Security conference (6) (2/2)

”If there is nothing, then you should leave.”, Sarah warned her.

Woman didn't respond, she just left.

Sarah stood next to Aiden with her head held high. She was happy that she didn't back down, like last time. She was smiling and looked at Aiden who was not able to hold back his grin.

Aiden was happy that she called him husband… and he noticed that for some time he didn't call her wifey or wife or missus, yet she still addressed him like they are married. He doesn't know if it matters much to her, but it means a lot to him.

…

When they got back into the room, Aiden apologized immediately. ”I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to listen in to that man with 72.”

Sarah shook her head. ”It's not a big deal. It's safe to assume that those are not participants, but they have some special purpose.”

They thought of different theories, but there was no way to prove anything.

With records being deleted when Sarah checked them last time, they were reluctant to go and try again. Aiden warned that they need to be careful. They are in this place surrounded with armed guards, it's not wise to play around. If they get discovered snooping around it could be dangerous.

”We can always dig for information after we get back home.”, he coaxed her.

Only when Sarah agreed did he relax.

That evening there was another VIP event. This time Aiden won the challenge. Prize was similar as last time, contact information for a famous hacker who operates under moniker Phoenix with a promise that Phoenix will assist him in one of future jobs; second part of the prize was money; and third part of the prize was a job offer from anonymous company in Spain. Name of company would be disclosed if he shows interest to join.

Unusual thing was that Sarah also got an email with a job offer from anonymous company in Spain. It was the same email she ignored previous night. And she ignored this email as well.

They were ready to go to bed for the night, when their tablets lit up with notification of new email.

”Oh?” Sarah could not hide her surprise. ”It seems that Mr. Patel is inviting us for dinner tomorrow. It's at his villa, where we had lunch.”

The event ends next day. There will be a closing social event in the afternoon, after which participants need to leave. Sarah and Aiden were planning for dinner in Las Vegas, but now this invitation showed up.

Aiden confirmed that he got the same invitation. ”Should we go?”

”Do you see a reason to refuse?” Sarah responded with a question. ”It will give us a chance to find out why he gave us that token.” Sarah pointed with her chin toward the Patel family token which was still on the desk in the sitting area.

Aiden agreed and added, ”We don't know who else will attend this dinner. It might be all VIPs? Also, we could get a chance to find out something about man with number 71. As an organizer, Patel should know something.”

”You are right!” She pinched his cheeks. ”What would I do without you, my handsome hubby?”

Aiden was about to complain about cheek pinching, but he melted when she called him hubby, and he forgot why he wanted to bicker with her few seconds ago.
