Chapter 840 - The first helicopter (1/2)

Later that afternoon, Sarah and Aiden returned with their new helicopter.

Just as Sarah predicted, Sophia was impressed how quiet it is.

After a short talk next to the helipad, Sophia excused herself. ”I'm not as flexible as you are. I have things that need to be done during work hours. And without Leah, everything takes three times longer to finish.”

Sarah was surprised to hear that Leah is not helping Sophia. ”I thought that she will stay as your assistant for two more weeks.”

”Yeah. Me too, but she asked for a vacation. I can't say 'no' to that. It will be easier when I find new assistant.” Sophia waved and went back into the house. She is sorry that Leah decided to quit in order to be close to Isabella, but it's her choice. Sophia can only support her friend and hope it all works out well.

”How long will it take for you to teach me how to fly it?”, Sarah asked Aiden when Sophia was out of sight.

”I can show you everything in fifteen minutes, probably less. You are a fast learner. After that it's on you to practice for a smooth ride.”

Sarah likes what she heard. ”When do we start?”

Aiden can see how excited she is. ”No better time than now.”

…

About one hour later, Sarah landed the helicopter on the helipad.

”How was that?”, Sarah asked him excitedly when she removed the headset.

”Just like you… perfect.”, he responded with a big smile.

She knows that she still needs to practice to make it smooth how he does it, but she will take the compliment. ”Keep on praising me like that and I might cook dinner tonight.”

Aiden's eyes flashed in surprise. ”Did I say only perfect? It was amazing! The way you turned it around on your second time, it was flawless… You are stepping on those pedals just right… The moment we were up in the air I knew that you are a natural…”

Sarah laughed. He will do anything to make her cook. Why is he acting like they don't have a hired cook in the house?

Aiden enjoys seeing Sarah laugh, he always did. Knowing that he can make her happy, brings him joy.

He sent a text to Eve, and helicopter started descending slowly together with the helipad. One minute later, helicopter was in their underground airport.

They agreed to make a remote control for the helipad so that it can open and close at the push of a button. With that, they don't risk exposing Eve if someone is taking a ride with them.

Two staff members welcomed them inside, and Aiden told them to make sure that the fuel tank is always full and that they will be in charge of maintenance. Those two staff members already have background working at the airport as mechanics, so they know how to take care of helicopters and airplanes.

Aiden gave them one of the manuals that Jarred's people gave him. ”Read this and familiarize yourself with the aircraft.”

Sarah watched Aiden interact with the staff and she can only admire him. When he hired people, he already had in mind that some of them should have experience as mechanics for the aircrafts. Impressive. He thinks of everything.

…

That evening, Sarah was in a good mood.

The highlight of the day is their new toy. And she got to ride the helicopter!

”Are we set for 28th?”, Aiden asked Sarah.
