Chapter 1076 - Two missions at the same time (2) (1/2)
Thursday
8:29 AM
In a private jet, above Arizona…
They are on their way to San Antonio, on track to land shortly after 11 AM local time.
Sarah is smiling and shaking her head at the sight of Haru and Nala who are sleeping in their seats while holding hands. ”I told them to get rest…”
”And I told you that they will be too excited to get any.”, Aiden said and pulled Sarah to sit next to him. ”Come and see options I picked for their makeover…” he handed her a laptop.
Sarah looked at the website of a salon in San Antonio which provides full-styling services.
”Haru will be super-handsome.” Sarah approved. ”Add request to take pictures and to send them to our email. Individual and couple's photos.”
Her smile faded at the sight of options for Nala. ”That dress is too short! How about… This one?”
Aiden objected. ”There is nothing wrong with my pick. It's perfect for a nightclub.”
”Yeah, your pick is perfect for a twenty-something girl who is looking for a hookup. Our Nala is sixteen and THIS dress is just fine…”
”That is too long, looks like grandma-style…” He saw that Sarah frowned and quickly clarified: ”OK. Not grandma. I wanted to say that your pick is good for a formal occasion. This is a nightclub…”
Sarah and Aiden compromised on a sleeveless skater dress which ends just above knees and does not expose cleavage.
Ah, parenting is hard…
…
Four of them had lunch and then headed to a hotel to check-in Haru and Nala.
They got two connected suites.
Sarah looked at the interior and nodded in approval.
The lobby boasts massive crystal chandeliers and numerous sitting areas facing either one of the five fireplaces or huge windows overlooking the private garden owned by the hotel. From the entrance, you can see massive marble columns and decor that says how this hotel caters to upper class customers. The hotel offers a 24 hour room service, gym, spa, indoor swimming pool, five restaurants, and enclosed lounging area with a full bar which turns into a club during evening hours.
Room interiors are vintage-inspired and have modern spa-like bathrooms. Each of the two suites they got has a spacious sitting area with a wet bar.
This hotel is owned by Morgan family, and it will be one of five that Penny will own after Jeff does his magic.
They went through the plan for Haru and Nala one more time before Sarah and Aiden headed back to the airport. Their mission for tonight is in Dallas.
”Take care of each other. Safety first…”, Sarah was giving last minute advices like a concerned mother while Aiden almost dragged her toward the exit.
”Our current estimate is that we will be back at 3 AM. We will be in touch and let you know if we are delayed.”, Aiden said as the last reminder before closing the door.
Sarah wanted to go back in and give few more reminders, but Aiden stopped her. He held her firmly around her waist, to prevent her from bolting back.
”Do you have anything new to say?”
Sarah shrugged. ”No. But can additional reminders hurt?”
”No. But they can annoy. They heard it all. You will be a difficult mother to our kids…” Aiden squinted when he realized that he said too much. And he didn't mean it. She is not annoying or difficult and she will be a wonderful mother.
