Chapter 741 - Two days before wedding (J&J) (2)

Sarah was looking after the stomping woman and wondered if this is one of those women Elanor mentioned, the ones who are after Jeff. That must be the reason why she so desperately wants to know about rehearsal dinner, right? She wants to crash the party.

The receptionist was relieved that another annoying Miss left. He looked at the lady-security employee, with intention to say thanks, but then he recognized her as Sarah.

"Miss Hill, how can I help you?", man hastily said once the realization hit him that this is the sister of the resort owner.

Sarah turned her attention to the receptionist. "I'm here to verify some security measures." Sarah patted sign 'SECURITY' on her left chest pocket enthusiastically. "Is the event hall for tonight accessible?"

"Yes, Miss Hill, it's unlocked, and you should not have any problems getting in." Receptionist confirmed.

Sarah was happy with his response, if the hall is unlocked, it means that they don't need to wait for someone to let them in. It will save time.

Sarah thought about that woman from a minute ago and had a bad feeling. She remembered that JoAnna said there is a chance of people wanting to come to events without an invitation, and seeing this man's reaction, Sarah concluded that this annoying woman was not the first one. "How many women came like this one… requesting information about tonight, and they are not invited?"

Receptionist exhaled. "I'm here from eleven. This is the third one… and for this particular young woman, this was her second attempt. First time, she came and caused such a scene that I had to give her a room upgrade, just to get her to calm down."

Sarah nodded in understanding. It must be exhausting dealing with these unreasonable people while keeping a smile on the face. "Keep up the good work.", Sarah offered encouragement.

She thought how these people are taking advantage of the situation. They should be grateful to be invited, right? The resort is beautiful, and they even get spa and restaurant fees covered for next three days. Even if they don't attend the wedding, this is like all-paid mini vacation.

Sarah took a mental note to make Eve more aggressive when handling these party crashers. If they don't appreciate what they got, there is not reason to be polite and she will teach them a lesson. And Sarah will definitely not allow anyone to take her sister lightly. She will do everything she can to help JoAnna officially enter White family with her head held high.

She turned to the people waiting in line and observed that it's five ladies. Sarah addressed them with a stern tone: "If you are waiting here with hope to get any information about tonight's event, and you are not invited, you can forget about it! For any event you have access to, you will find information in your room. If you have any complaints, take them to the organizers. These people here are only doing their job, and no one will risk losing it in order to give you some information you are not entitled to. Thank you very much for understanding!"

Sarah was surprised to see that two ladies lowered their heads and actually… left the line and walked out of the building.

She tilted her head to look at the receptionist and saw that the man gave her a thumbs up.

…

Sarah is in the garden of the resort, sitting on a chair and fiddling with drones which are laid out on a table in front of her.

"Done with cameras! They are all ready for your inspection, my lady!" Aiden hopped on the chair next to Sarah. "What's your status?"

Sarah smiled when she felt his arms snake around her waist. "Eleven drones are done and waiting for tonight in the event hall. Eve will have them at their designated locations starting from four thirty. Out of four drones here, I need to check rotor blades on two and then everything is done."

"I can watch, or I can help… which one do you prefer?"

"How about you get our things in the room while I finish this?" Sarah is referring to their change of clothes for the rehearsal dinner.

They already planned to stay at the resort until the event, so they packed necessities for the event and an overnight stay. Just in case if they decide to stay until the next day. The only difference is that they didn't know JoAnna will give them a suite to use, so their plan was to use one of guest bedrooms in JoAnna's apartment on top of the main building of the resort to change. But now that they have a suite, probability of them staying overnight increased.  

"Done. That was taken care of when I went to get things from the car second time." He proudly declared that their things are waiting for them in the suite already.

Sarah was pleasantly surprised. But then she reminded herself that this is Aiden… always planning and thinking ahead. She really loves how his mind works.

"Nice… then watch. It's just a minute. While I finish this, tell me about the suite."

He leaned closer to her and spoke softly: "Fourth floor, view of the ocean, king size bed, shower has a built-in bench… do I need to say more?"

Sarah's mouth twitched while she tried to suppress her smile. "Is there nothing else in the room?"

"Besides bed and a shower, do we need anything else?" His expression was suggestive enough, and she didn't need any explanation why only bed and shower are enough anyway.

"Oh, there is also a very comfortable looking sofa in the living area.", he cheekily added.

Sarah let out an exaggerated sigh. "You are lucky that you are so handsome, so I put up with you."

"Mmm, I am lucky that you are putting up with me." He inched closer for a kiss, but their hat visors bumped into each other, preventing the proximity needed for the kiss.

They both laughed and he turned his hat backward. "Let me try that again." He cleared his throat and moved slowly toward her, slightly from below, while avoiding her visor. "There was something about me being lucky… with you..."

This time the kiss was a success.

As the kiss was getting more intense, Sarah inched away and spoke under her breath: "The drones are ready. Help me take them inside the hall, and then you can give me a tour of the suite."

"What about inspecting the cameras?", Aiden whispered into her lips.

Sarah shook her head slightly. "I trust you did an amazing job. But if you insist, I can inspect them later."

Aiden's devilish smile told her that he approves of her decision. No need to inspect cameras. He is more than happy to go up to the suite with her.

Aiden gave her a quick kiss, turned his hat so that visor is facing forward, took two drones from the table and dashed into the event hall.

Sarah was looking after him, dazed for some time before snapping out of it. She picked up remaining two drones and followed inside the event hall after Aiden in hurried steps.
