Chapter 942 - EY fashion show in LA (2) (1/2)
JoAnna and Sophia held their breaths and clapped enthusiastically when Sarah and Aiden emerged behind the wings at the beginning of the runway.
”Look at her… fierce!”, Sophia exclaimed.
”Yes. I was afraid that she will be a nervous wreck.” JoAnna beamed, proud of her baby sister. Few seconds later she leaned closer to Sophia. ”Doesn't she look… angry?”
Sophia shrugged. ”Maybe… but I would still call it fierce.”
When Aiden and Sarah made their round and disappeared behind the wings Sophia leaned toward Felix. ”Did you get that?”
”Yes.” He was in charge of recording Sarah and Aiden on the catwalk.
Sophia praised her husband. ”Great! Send that to mom and dad and to Elanor and Oscar as well. They will be proud to see them. Do it quickly, so that you can record their second appearance.”

After the show, backstage in the dressing room…
”You did that on purpose!”, Sarah accused Aiden.
”What?” He tried to appear innocent, but one side of his lips curved up involuntarily.
”Sent that girl to me.”, Sarah clarified even though she is confident that he knows what she is talking about.
Aiden smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist loosely. ”Did it work?”
She leaned her forehead on his chest. ”Yes, it did.”
Aiden leaned his head slightly and spoke into her ear. ”I would do anything for you. Even make you angry, if needed.”
Sarah smiled helplessly and looked into his dark eyes. ”You know me best.”
”That's how it should be.” He touched her chin, tipping her head up and kissed her on the lips.
”You really are a couple!”, girl called Crystal exclaimed.
Sarah looked at the girl who was one step away and gawked at them. The girl can't be more than 17-18 years old, but she is definitely old enough not to be treated like an ignorant kid.
”Crystal, do you even have a brain? If you do, start using it or you will get hurt.”, Sarah did her best to control her temper.
”And who are you to give such warnings?”, Crystal defiantly lifted her chin.
”What is going on?”, Ellie asked, but just by looking at the Sarah's expression, she can tell that Crystal crossed the line again. ”Crystal, I told you to stay away from him.”
Ellie decided not to bother with Crystal. She took a mental note not to hire her again. ”Will you two join us for the afterparty?”
”Thanks for the invitation, but we can't.”, Sarah responded while leaning on Aiden. ”We are having dinner with our kids.”
Ellie nodded in understanding. ”Oh, well… next time. Thank you for tonight.”
They said their farewells and headed out.
Ellie turned back and saw that Crystal is still standing there, staring toward the door in disbelief with her mouth slightly open.
”Did they say that they are having dinner with THEIR KIDS?”, Crystal asked while holding her cheeks in her palms dramatically.
”Yes.” Ellie responded and laughed at Crystal's stunned expression. Well, she is not the one to go and explain that those are not their biological children. And it's not Crystal's business anyway.
Ellie reminded herself to tell her assistants not to hire Crystal. She is very immature and not professional. Anyone who causes drama backstage is not welcome.
