Chapter 884 - A job request (1/2)
~ Private island in Adriatic Sea ~
Sarah is going thought the closet, checking if she wants to pack anything else for their stay in France. She is usually not so picky because even if they forget something, they can always buy it… but it's her first time going to the Castle (aka Chateau), and her Sigma army will arrive in next two days. And she is excited.
On this island, they finished setting up Eve-security and followed up with Toma on his undersea treasure hunts. That man always surprises them by finding new shipwrecks to explore, and they are more than happy to approve his proposals, because Toma has a crazy luck or a sixth sense for finding treasures. Their newly-built basement storage will soon be full.
Sarah and Aiden discussed to put some of the items up for auction and decided to find a person who can help them do that anonymously. After all, if anyone finds out from where the items came, they will be in danger of getting robbed.
”Done packing?”, Aiden asked when he found her checking clothes.
”I'm not sure…”
Aiden chuckled and pulled her in his embrace. ”Relax. There are already clothes waiting for us in the Castle. And we can always go to Paris to shop. I am more than happy to carry the bags.”
She pinched his cheeks playfully. ”Silly. We always get things delivered. When did you carry any bags when we shop?”
He made a face like he was wronged. ”Hey, it's the intention that counts.”
Sarah laughed.
Her phone played a specific tune, indicating that there is a new email in the inbox she uses as Sigma.
Sarah's face lit up as soon as she glanced at it. ”A job request!”
Aiden pouted. ”You are getting them more than I do.”
She shoot him a side-glance. ”Because you are too expensive. You can't have fun and charge a fortune for that.”
He grinned. ”If they want quality, they need to pay for it.”
”Did you indirectly call me cheap or low quality?” Sarah glared at him and found that he already dashed out the room, anticipating her fury.
”Do you think that I'm that childish to chase after you?!”, she shouted toward the open door.
Aiden's head peeked from the side of the doorframe. ”You are not?”
Sarah looked at him while putting her phone on the side table slowly.
”Of course… I am!”, she ran after him.
It was a wild chase through the main building on the island. Surprisingly, they didn't break anything.
Aiden managed to get out through the main door and used an open window of the study to get back inside.
Sarah saw his shadow disappear into the main bedroom and dashed after him.
As soon as she stepped inside, she yelped in surprise when he grabbed her from behind and practically threw her on the bed. Sarah didn't get a chance to protest because he was already on top of her, and his lips covered hers. Ah, there is no better foreplay than a chase.
Later that evening…
”So, what is the job about?”, Aiden asked while caressing Sarah's hair.
Sarah crawled over Aiden to get her phone and then ducked back under covers to snuggle next to him while reading the email.
”Hmm… There are two parts. First one is to find dirt on three people. There is some basic information provided… I can see that all three are US Citizens from Chicago area and board members of K Industries…”
Aiden frowned. ”K Industries?”
