Chapter 724 - Guests at the Cliffside Villa (1) (1/2)
~ Los Angeles, Cliffside Villa ~
Aiden, Felix and Jesse transferred four unconscious people from the car trunks to the room on the sixth level (underground) and left them there tied up, while Sarah and Sophia stayed outside with Jarred, Charlie and their bodyguards.
Sarah instructed Gennifer to make preparations necessary to accommodate guests.
Gennifer is a lady in late forties and she is one of the first hires for their Cliffside villa house staff. Her role is: the main housekeeper. Gennifer returned few days ago from her training on the island, and so far she is performing flawlessly. Sarah can only admire Aiden and his gift to train staff, because things in and around their home are taken care of, and she never notices staff getting in the way. She also has only praises for various ways which Aiden introduced how they can communicate with the staff related to anything that is outside regular schedule. After Aiden explained all this to Sarah, she finally realized why she never saw the staff on the island, yet everything was… perfect.
Gennifer has great experience and references, but Aiden is pretty sure that Sarah insisted on hiring her just because she can call her Genie. Sarah denied it, but she was exposed when Aiden caught her browsing online while trying to purchase oil lamp which looks like the one from movie Aladdin.
”What are you doing?”, his voice startled her.
”Nothing…”, Sarah minimized the window which showed lamp options, but it was too late… Aiden saw it.
He laughed. ”Are you getting a lamp to rub in order to summon Gennifer?”
Sarah pouted for a second before laughing with him. Her intention was exposed and denying it would be pointless.
”I can connect the lamp with Eve, so when we rub the lamp, Genie (the housekeeper) will get a signal that she is needed. We can even customize rubs, so that she gets different messages depending on how we rub the lamp.” Sarah explained while her hands moved as if she is rubbing the invisible lamp in front of her.
Aiden thought how it's adorable that Sarah manages to bring fun into their lives. She treats everything like a game. In a good way.
Back to present…
Aiden and Sarah made sure that Jarred and Charlie are accompanied by one of them before escorting them to their rooms to freshen up because they don't want strangers to know what is below their 'regular quarters', how they call them. That includes anything below level three of their Cliffside villa.
Even the house staff is not allowed to go to levels six and seven (underground) which are mostly dedicated to technology related to virtual reality, various prototypes, Eve and their equipment which is used when they operate as Sigma and Omega.
The only exception of the staff who can go to level six is Jesse. They still don't trust him with access to level seven, and based on their discussion, that level is reserved just for two of them and for people who know that they are Sigma and Omega.
Levels four and below have additional security measures, and each next level is more secured.
There is no need for Jarred and Charlie or any outsider to know more about the house layout other than guest bedrooms they got and eating and sitting areas on the top two floors, as well as entertainment areas on the first level underground.
