Chapter 738 - Conclusion after the incident with Volkovs (2/2)

Sophia was grateful. ”That would be great. Thank you. Can you find some candidates for Felix as well?”

Felix frowned, and Sophia didn't miss that.

”You need an assistant… it will help you handle menial tasks so that you can focus on what matters. I know you have bad experiences with David, but keep in mind that you didn't pick him. I kind of forced him on you, remember?” Sophia feels guilty for picking David for Felix without asking for his opinion. But she knows better now. Felix should pick, and she needs to stay out of it. ”There are many other candidates out there. Jeff can help you find few with good qualifications and references, and you need to pick the one who will work for you.”

Felix sighed in resignation and looked at Jeff. ”I will be grateful if you find some suitable candidates for me as well.” He confirmed Sophia's words, but he could not make himself sound enthusiastic about it.

”How about you two?” Jeff looked at Sarah and Aiden. ”Need assistants?”

Both Sarah and Aiden shook their heads vigorously while trying to be as polite as possible during rejection of Jeff's offer. They do NOT need assistants. Everyone is forcing them to have bodyguards (which they still didn't get, if we exclude Jesse), and now they want them to have assistants as well? All those extra people are a burden… extras.

…

After enjoyable dinner, eight of them spent some time on the rooftop terrace. It was a pleasant atmosphere despite stressful events from previous day.

Sophia and Felix confirmed that they will stay at the Cliffside Villa for next few days (or until Sarah and Aiden kick them out).

”For now, I can work from anywhere, and Felix fell in love with Sarah's workshop.”, Sophia explained.

Besides that, there is also the thing of Felix training with Aiden.

Sarah and Aiden assured them that it's not a problem, and they can stay as long as they wish.

Bridgette was happy to spend some time with Sarah and she was praising the house very much. Bridgette promised to come during daytime soon, so that she can see the landscape, and the birds.

Jeff and JoAnna went to their home, and Bridgette and Steve tagged along. It's faster with a helicopter.

Once guests left, Sophia and Felix went to their room and wished good night to Sarah and Aiden.

Sarah checked her phone. No missed calls or messages. ”Do you think that old man and Charlie will come here?”

Aiden shrugged. ”Probably not tonight. It's late.”

Sarah agreed with him.

Aiden hugged her. ”Are you ready?”

Sarah looked at Aiden and understood the meaning behind his question: is she ready to find out more about Lebedev and Volkov families?

She gazed at his deep dark eyes which reflected her image and she could see herself smiling. ”With you by my side, I'm ready for whatever is coming.”

Aiden liked her answer. His eyes narrowed due to his wide smile.

Two of them went to their computer room on the seventh level underground and they didn't come out until late into the night.
