Chapter 589 - Plan: take care of Regina (1)

~ Los Angeles, Cliffside house ~

Aiden and Sarah spent most of the morning planning and discussing things related to their new home.

"We should head to the resort. It's almost lunchtime.", Sarah reminded Aiden. "But first, let's change clothes."

"Why are we dressing up for?" Aiden observed that she prepared a Brioni white dress shirt for him. He prefers t-shirts, they are more comfortable.

"I promised Anna to help her take care of Regina. We need to look sharp for what I have on my mind. I will let you keep the jeans. You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course, not. Feel free to use me anyway you want.", Aiden flashed a smile. His gossipy side was awake, and he was happy to be included in 'take care of Regina' plan, whatever that is.

Sarah changed into Prada white tie-sleeve button down shirt and a red a-line knee length skirt. She put high heels on and pulled her hair into a high ponytail. Sarah turned to see Aiden looking sharp while his eyes devoured her.

She smiled, pleased with his reaction, and threw the car keys his way: "You are driving."

Aiden caught the keys with a flick of his wrist and was next to her in an instant. His hand on her waist was pulling her closer while his firm grip and intense gaze were telling her what his intentions are.

"The clothes will get wrinkled…", she reluctantly complained.

~ Golden Ocean Resort ~

The car stopped in front of the entrance of the main building. Aiden stepped out first and walked to the other side to open the door for Sarah. His every move was so suave that all females watched him and held their breaths; Sarah included.

Aiden helped Sarah come out of the car.

"I will get you all wrinkled later.", he whispered close to her ear as they walked inside.

Sarah could not believe that he was still thinking about that. She knows that he was displeased when she mentioned earlier that clothes will get wrinkled if they don't stop, but it was the truth. And they were about to come to resort, so they should look presentable. Just how long can he hold a grudge?

As they previously agreed with JoAnna, Sarah and Aiden went straight to the restaurant.

"When can we order food?", Aiden asked few minutes after they took their seats. He was eager to start eating.

Sarah remembered that Aiden gets cranky like a small child when he is hungry, and did her best to coax him. "JoAnna just texted. They will be here in few minutes. We can order appetizers if you want."

He raised his hand to get waiter's attention while speaking in a low voice so that only Sarah can hear: "You are making me suffer. I will wrinkle you extra for that."

Sarah stifled a laugh and whispered back: "Seriously? You can just say that you want to make love to me."

Aiden smirked, "I will do that also."

Sarah's gaze was locked on him, and her thoughts were running wild while he spoke with waiter. She was thinking where will they do it… in the car? Or at home? Or…? Oh, there is that infinity pool! But they don't have towels there...

Aiden kept the menu down when the waiter left, and his eyes met with Sarah's. He flashed his devilish smile and leaned closer.

"I look forward to it as well.", he whispered.

Sarah inhaled. "Is it that obvious?"

She looked at him wondering if he can really read her mind. Sarah was confident that she didn't blush. How did he know that she was having lustful thoughts?

…

JoAnna came with Bridgette and Regina to the restaurant.

Regina was extra-motivated when Bridgette stopped by and told her to join them for lunch to discuss her current status with a side note that Mr. White will also be there. She checked her makeup and hair three times before heading out of her office.

Regina stopped in her tracks when her eyes landed on Aiden and Sarah. Well, mostly on Aiden. He was holding the menu while talking to the waiter. Regina recognized him as Jeff's brother. She didn't meet him in person, but she saw him on some photos in magazines and company newsletter. 'In person, he is very handsome… almost as handsome as his brother.'

Part of Regina was disappointed that Mr. White which Bridgette mentioned is Aiden. She flashed a smile while thinking that even though he is not Jeff, he is still a White. It would be beneficial to get his attention. And he is handsome…

Her smile stiffened when she saw him keeping the menu down and whispering something to the young lady next to him. She smiled, and he smiled back… Why is that scene so familiar? And why is that lady familiar?

Regina was not aware that her smile dropped, and she was frowning.

"Miss Heaven?", Bridgette's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

JoAnna was already next to the table and she warmly greeted two people.

At that point Regina realized why young lady looks familiar. Because she resembles JoAnna! Are they sisters? What is JoAnna's sister doing next to Jeff's brother? She hurried to the table.

Sarah and Aiden were sitting next to each other, JoAnna took a seat at the head of the table on Sarah's right. Bridgette stopped few steps from the table and was busy texting Steve.

"Regina, this is my sister Sarah, and Aiden White.", JoAnna introduced them.

Sarah and Aiden smiled slightly and responded with nods. Their expressions and movements matched as if they were practiced.

"This is Regina. She is the resource that Jeff found to help me with finances. Temporarily.", JoAnna introduced Regina.

Sarah's mouth twitched when she observed that Regina just glanced over her before her sight got rooted on Aiden.

"Mr. White, I've heard a lot about you. It's an honor to meet you.", Regina's lips stretched into a wide smile, which almost reached her ears. She didn't hide the fact that she is flirting.

"Really? I never heard about you.", Aiden frowned and sized her up for a second before looking away from her.
