Chapter 795 - Wedding party (J&J) (8)

In the event hall...

Sarah pushed the plate further away on the table and patted her non-existent belly bulge. "If I eat more of these snacks, I will not have any space left for dinner."

Aiden looked at her and smile never left his face. "How about we go to the dancefloor? Light exercise will help digestion… and you will get your space for dinner."

Sarah's face lit up. 'Dancing with Aiden!' She almost trembled from excitement.

"That sounds great! Give me a minute, and we can go." Sarah stood up and went to the restroom.

Aiden's eyes didn't leave her until she was out of sight.

At the same time, Madison's eyes were on Sarah as well. She saw her going to the ladies' room and decided that this is a good chance to go and confront her. Her sisters are busy, and Aiden can't follow inside.

"I heard your name is Sarah…", Madison's voice startled Sarah while she washed hands in the sink. She was too immersed in thoughts of going to dance with Aiden and didn't notice that someone is few steps behind her.

Sarah looked at the reflection of the young lady in the mirror for few seconds before asking: "And you are…?"

…

In the event hall, Kyra approached Liam. "Can we have a word?"

Liam stood up and leaned closer to Kyra while talking in a hushed voice: "Only if you are not going to ask me to participate in a shooting competition against the bride."

Kyra frowned. "How do you know about it? That was barely ten minutes ago!"

Liam shook his head and his signature sly smirk appeared on his face. "Did you forget where we are? These people are starving for a gossip, and you deliver some prime goods. I just don't know… what did that poor Melodie do to you so that you put her into such a pitiful situation?"

Liam gestured with his hand toward the exit, and two of them walked outside.

"I didn't know that the woman has skills.", Kyra admitted that she underestimated JoAnna.

Liam nodded knowingly. "That is why you should have observed more before making any moves."

Kyra didn't like his tone or his words. What gives him the right to act all high and mighty? "Hmph! It's not like I suffered any loss…"

"I don't want to talk about your problems." Liam cut her off. He stopped walking and faced Kyra. "What do you want?"

Kyra was surprised that Liam went straight to the point. That confirmed to her that he is in a rush, probably because he has something else on mind.

"I want to know, what are you scheming?"

Liam laughed. "Even if I am scheming something, why would I tell you?"

"We can cooperate.", Kyra offered while trying to sound as sincere as possible.

Liam looked at Kyra mockingly. "Cooperate? That offer would sound appealing if not for the fact that ten minutes ago you threw your previous partner under the bus. You are ruthless, like always."

"Fine…", Kyra exhaled. He knows her, and considering what she did just now, she can't find a good comeback. Maybe if she looks pitiful, he will lower his guard…

"Don't even try to look offended, that will not work on me…" Liam knows better than to work with Kyra. She is scheming just as he is, if not more… and she treats everyone else like puppets. He will not allow himself to be at her mercy, because she has none.

Liam decided to see what he can find out from Kyra. She might be a schemer, but so is he.

"I noticed since high school that whenever something involves White brothers, there is a high chance that you are close by. Until now, I thought that you are after Aiden, but after this stunt… I think that you are after his brother." Liam laughed when he saw that Kyra's eyes flashed in surprise. It was just for a moment, but he didn't miss it. "Oh, Kyra, Kyra… Smart. You are using all these snobby girls to poke the bear and at the same time you are eliminating them as your competition. But… you realize that your target just got married. Right?"

Kyra refused to respond to his provocation, but her silence was enough for Liam to know that he is on the right track.

Kyra didn't give up on finding out what Liam is up to. "Do you plan to use Madison?"

Liam narrowed his eyes while looking at Kyra. "Why would you care about her? She is crazy about Aiden… Don't tell me that you care about her, as a friend?"

Kyra shook her head. "No. But she can have her uses."

"Ah, finally you admitted to something." Liam laughed. "As a sign of good will, let me give you an advice… if you plan on using her, I suggest you control her a bit. She is a loose cannon, and unless you want to give her a chance to ruin this whole event, reel her in a bit."

"What do you mean?" Kyra knows that Liam is not saying this without a reason. Liam never says anything without a reason.

"I saw her enter the ladies' room after Aiden's girl. That was… about five minutes ago."

Kyra closed her eyes and exhaled in frustration before heading inside toward the restrooms. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Aiden in front of the restroom door.

…

Aiden is in front of the door of the ladies' restroom and hesitating. This is for ladies and he should not even think of going inside unless he wants to earn few slaps, but does he have a choice?

He remembered that what seems like forever ago, Sarah said she will be back in a minute, but it's taking much-much longer. He thought that maybe she met someone in there and they are chatting… girls do that. Panic rose inside him: 'Meet someone? Chatting?' Both JoAnna, Sophia and all the bridesmaids are in plain sight! At least how much he can see in his panicked state. With whom can Sarah chat?

Aiden stood up and walked toward the restroom and he thought that he is about to hyperventilate when he saw 'closed for cleaning' sign at the door. He is sure that Sarah is inside, he saw her enter. And that means that someone put that sign there after she was already inside!

Back to present…

Aiden reluctantly pushed the door open and stepped inside. He found himself in a lounge which is separated from the actual restroom area by a double swinging door. Aiden nervously flexed his fingers few times before placing his palm on the swinging door. He prayed silently that there is not a bunch of females on other side which will scream that he is a pervert and throw their makeup items at him… he took a deep breath and told himself that he is probably overthinking it, but he can't help it… he knows that Sarah is there. And he needs to make sure that she is safe and that she is not talking with some girls who can tell her... things.

Aiden froze when he heard voices coming from the other side of the door.
