Chapter 732 - Jeff and JoAnna return to Los Angeles (2/2)
Sarah was sparring with Jesse. Since Aiden is there, it's OK, and she is not breaking her promise. Jesse is not a match for Sarah, and she is still gauging his skills. In this session he is attacking while she can only defend. Jesse wins if he forces Sarah to make a step back.
Bodyguards which came with Smiths are watching attentively Sarah's sparring match, and few minutes into the match, Jarred and Charlie joined as spectators as well.
When they saw that Jeff and JoAnna arrived, they stopped their training and decided to freshen up and head for breakfast.
Jarred and Charlie were curious about Jesse.
”It seems that he has skills. How come he was not with you yesterday?”, Jarred asked while they headed toward the villa.
”He had a tooth extraction, so we gave him few days off.”, Sarah explained. She has no intention to disclose information that Jesse does not have an ID yet, and that is the reason they are not letting him leave property.
Jarred didn't ask any more questions about Jesse. He has something else on his mind: ”We were wondering if we can get our bodyguards to train with yours.”
”Can you clarify that?” Sarah was not sure if she heard him right.
”Not to hide anything… We saw you yesterday. And now we saw your bodyguard. He is not a match for you, but I believe that he can defeat any of our men. And we also saw how our people were taken down yesterday like they are elementary school kids fighting grownups. We will appreciate if you can provide some training for them.”, Jarred explained.
Sarah glanced at Aiden.
He understood that she can't make this decision without him.
Training bodyguards for them and their family is one thing, but for others… If they recklessly accept, there is always a chance that they are training their future enemies.
”We will talk about it and let you know what we can do.”, Aiden answered and Jarred was happy with this answer.
They all had breakfast together.
Jeff and JoAnna were eager to find out what happened previous day, but considering all people seated at the table, they understood that this is not the time to discuss that topic.
Charlie took this opportunity to talk with JoAnna and to assure her that he is ready for the surgery anytime.
After breakfast, Jarred and Charlie said they are heading out.
”Thank you for your hospitality. We have meetings to handle today.”, Charlie said when they were ready to leave.
”You are welcome to come here when you are done, if you wish.”, Sarah made sure they know they are welcome.
”We might. It will depend on how our meetings go. We will be in touch.”, Jarred smiled. He was happy that Sarah offered them to stay longer. He turned to Aiden and gave a reminder: ”We will be grateful if you accept to train our men.”
Elanor approached him and asked in a low voice so that Aiden and Sarah can't hear: ”You plan to come back here? What is wrong with your villa in Santa Monica?” She still doesn't have an answer to why is Jarred sticking to Sarah, and she doesn't like it. He has a perfectly good villa about half an hour drive from here! And Sarah is HER daughter-in-law!
Jarred glared at Elanor and responded in a hushed voice: ”It's being fumigated. It seems that we have a pest problem.”
Elanor glared back at him. 'Fumigated? Pests? Is he implying that I'm a pest?'
Elanor leaned closer to Jarred, and spoke in threatening hushed voice: ”Are you sure you can afford to provoke me? Hmm?”
Jarred grinned for a second when he realized that he managed to shake up Elanor again. He thanked Sarah and Aiden one more time before heading to the car while ignoring Elanor. Bodyguards were waiting for them and they went to check on their men in the hospital before heading for their meetings.
