When Sarah finished with food, Maksim approached her.
"Do you have a minute?"
Sarah glanced at Aiden who gave her a small nod and she smiled in return.
Sarah knew that it's not easy for Aiden to let Sarah talk to Maksim, but he believes that she can handle the situation. And if Maksim tries anything funny, one of the invisible drones will take him out.
Aiden liked that Sarah silently asked him for permission to talk to Maksim. It made him feel in charge, even though he knew that Sarah can do whatever she wants.
Aiden gave Sarah a light kiss before releasing her hand so that she can go and talk to Maksim. Aiden made sure to glare at Maksim as they moved away.
"Congratulations…", Maksim said when they started walking randomly through the garden.
"Thanks.", Sarah responded, assuming that he is congratulating her on the pregnancy. "Hong praised for you. Thank you for helping him with the transition."
"It's not a problem."
