Chapter 1061 - Event at the White Rock Lake (1) (1/2)
~ Dallas, Hilton Hotel ~
Saturday, March 7
3:13 PM
Jeff and Aiden are in a presidential suite, working on their laptops. The event organized by Marcus and Lukas White starts at 7 PM, so they have plenty of time.
JoAnna and Sarah are in the adjacent presidential suite which is connected with a double door to the one where Jeff and Aiden are.
The ladies need to start preparing their bodyguard-look earlier.
JoAnna was not happy to dye her hair, but she had to agree with Sarah that a wig is not safe enough.
”Who knows that Marcus and Lukas have prepared for screening people at the entrance. We don't want to be found out because of a small technicality. And we will dye our hair back to the original color tomorrow…”, Sarah convinced her sister.
JoAnna grimaced. ”Blonde?”
Sarah winked. ”Trust me, Jeff will love it.”
Sarah knows how Aiden's eyes lit up whenever she puts on any of her blonde wigs. Now it will be permanent… almost.
Sarah was applying hair color on JoAnna's hair when JoAnna stopped her, saying that she needs a break.
”I don't feel well…”, she held onto her stomach, and her right hand covered her mouth like she is about to vomit. She moved next to the AC vent and cranked up the AC to blow cold air inside.
”Are you OK?”
JoAnna took few deep breaths. ”Yeah… the smell hit me hard.”
Sarah raised her eyebrows and blinked few times. ”Since when strange smells bother you? You always said that the residenship prepared you for anything, and that in the hospital you got to see and smell anything possible…”
JoAnna smiled. ”Promise not to tell?”
Sarah's face lit up when she realized that JoAnna is implying that she is pregnant. ”You are?”
JoAnna nodded. ”Jeff doesn't know. I'm keeping it as a birthday surprise. Two more weeks…” She took few more deep breaths next to the AC and then returned to the chair. ”I'm ready to continue.”
Sarah resumed applying hair color and asked: ”Are you sure it's wise to go tonight to that event considering your condition?”
JoAnna bit her lower lip while thinking how to answer.
”What would you do? I can't let him go by himself there. If anything happens to him…” JoAnna sighed and then smiled. ”Besides, the boss of the most dangerous underground organization is by my side. What can go wrong?”
Sarah agreed with that. ”You are in dangerous company… Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?”
”Not yet. In about ten days I can do the test… just in time for Jeff's birthday.”
”Talk about Jeff's birthday…” Sarah remembered that the previous year Aiden took her to Jeff's birthday, and that is where she met Isabella, and Aiden introduced her as his girlfriend to his parents… So many things happened. ”Last year there was a massive party. I don't hear any plans now.”
”Jeff does not want a big party. We will invite some people… an intimate gathering. Lunch and dinner maybe with some activity in-between. We were discussing of having people on that superyacht where we went when we got engaged, or maybe at my resort… but nothing is final at this point. With so many things happening, we neglect talking about plans for his birthday.”
Sarah showed understanding. ”If you want, I can help. Let me know what location you decide on, and I can handle inviting people. Guests can stay at the resort, and the party can be on the superyacht in that way you don't need to pick, you can have both... His birthday is on a Monday, so the party can be on the weekend before that…”
