Is this destiny?

Chapter 1134 - New Owner Of The Opulence Hotel (2)

Sarah and Aiden headed to the top floor because Sarah said that she wants to see the view.

Allen, Julius, Ron and Zula got a task to go to the lounging areas, blend in and observe if they find anything suspicious.

The technical team from Orion Enterprise is installing cameras through the hotel. Sarah and Aiden with their four kids don't need to do anything about it, they used that as an excuse to be in the hotel for their own agenda.

Before they reached to the Opulence hotel, Sarah reminded everyone: "Marcus knows that Morgans lost their hotels, and that there is a new owner. We suspect that Marcus has his people in the hotel to keep watch and we should count that there are still people loyal to previous owners. Based on the communication we intercepted, we know that Marcus is interested in the new owner and that his current guesses are that this was caused either by Jeffrey or by our group." Sarah didn't want to name the army of Chaos, but they understood. "It will not be surprising that he is aware of Penny's schedule. Keep your eyes open. Jesse and Oni will follow Penny and Ben as bodyguards while the rest of us will split up in pairs."

Back to present…

Aiden and Sarah exited the elevator on the top floor. Aiden didn't expect that Sarah will head toward the stairs with the roof access. He thought that they will go inside one of the top-floor suites and enjoy the view as well as other features that a luxury suite provides.

The view from the roof of the 25 floors-high hotel is amazing. It is a bright sunny day, and they can see the whole San Antonio downtown and suburbs disappearing on the horizon.

Sarah looked to her left and smiled. "I didn't realize that the Tower of the Americas is so close!"

She sat on the concrete bench-looking structure and patted a spot next to her, inviting Aiden to join her.

Aiden enjoys her enthusiasm. It's a long time since he saw her smile so brightly.

Sarah leaned on him and closed her eyes before taking a deep breath.

"You are relaxed.", Aiden observed.

"Yeah.", she agreed and explained: "Somehow, I feel that things are falling into place. Like… good things are coming. I don't know why. But if I am wrong, don't spoil my mood and let me enjoy my ignorance, for now."

Aiden wrapped his arms around Sarah and spoke close to her ear: "Alright. I will make sure nothing spoils your mood."

She sank into his embrace and smiled. The two of them on the rooftop, bathed in the morning sun… perfect.

…

Ben and Penny went to the lounge on the main level and saw Allen and Julius seated in front of the fireplace while Ron and Zula went to the restaurant on the third floor.

Penny liked that all the staff they met along the way was friendly and very professional.

The half an hour passed quickly, and Penny returned to her office with Ben and Bridgette and started meeting with people from the management.

She asked them questions they previously decided on with a goal to see what they think about the hotel and if they have any opinions about the management change. They were standard questions like: "What do you think about the current state of the hotel? What would you do differently if you could? How can I help you be more efficient?", etc. which will not arouse suspicion. During these meetings, Jesse and Oni both had Eve-vision which evaluated body stats of the people and provided the information how anxious and how truthful they are.

…

"Anything out of place?", Sarah asked Julius and Allen when she joined them. Aiden went to check on Ron and Zula.

"We can't see all the lounging areas on the main level, but our attention is on that woman in a dark green business suit. She is here since this morning, sipping on the same cup of coffee.", Julius said and glanced in the direction of the woman he mentioned.

"And she looks familiar.", Allen added.

Sarah glanced and spotted the woman. With Eve-vision, she saw that it is Marcus's personal assistant, Jasmine.

"Good job, boys.", Sarah smiled and decided to go and join Aiden.

Sarah is not sure if Jasmine will recognize her, but she will definitely recognize Aiden.

Sarah found Aiden with Ron and Zula in the restaurant. He just ordered appetizers.

"Did you come here to check the status or to eat?", Sarah asked Aiden.

"I ordered them after you said you are coming.", Aiden said in his defense. "And these two said that they are very tasty, so…"

Sarah shook her head in disapproval. "Jasmine is downstairs. We assumed that Marcus might send some henchmen, but Jasmine is a problem. She will recognize you."

"What do you suggest?", Aiden asked.

"If she sees you, Marcus will get a confirmation that Jeff is behind this. We can go in one of the suites and lay low until she leaves.", Sarah thought at loud.

"Even if we lay low, that does not mean that Marcus does not have other people who know this handsome face.", Aiden pointed at himself and smiled when Sarah rolled her eyes playfully. "There might be dozens of them, and they already saw me. On the other side, what will happen if he finds out that Jeff is behind this? Can he do anything about it? How I see it, one option is that nothing happens, and the other one is that he hastens his attacks on Jeff out of fear who else will be taken out of the pool of his allies."

Sarah had to agree with this. Actually, making Marcus speed up his plans will make him prone to mistakes which will be a good thing.

Appetizers arrived and Sarah and Aiden both agreed: delicious!

Aiden got an idea and looked at Sarah. "Let's go to the lounge. There is a chance Jasmine knows that we are here. She is not here by accident. How about we go and say hi?"

Sarah saw that Aiden is playful. He has something on his mind…"OK."

She watched him stuff his mouth with appetizers before they headed to the main level.

…

"Hi Miss Jasmine! How is my Uncle doing?", Aiden greeted her cheerfully while taking a seat on the sofa, next to her. He made sure that Sarah has space to sit also, and that he is not too close to Jasmine.

Jasmine lowered the magazine and her eyes flashed in surprise before she composed herself. "Aiden… I didn't expect to see you and your fiancé here."

"Yeah, small world.", Aiden nodded and held Sarah's hand in his. "So… why are you here?"
