Chapter 223 - We should act fast
By the time Jean reached Grey's mansion, Sarah Richard is already busy in talking with Elena and grandmother. Daniel is staring at her like a love stuck fool, his eyes twinkled brightly every time he see her smiling.
Though Sarah looked so reserved and cold, she managed to at least give a small smile in middle of their conversation. Somehow she looked little familiar but at the same time so distant, almost like a stranger.
Jean looked at them from foyer and silently went back to her room. She arranged her books in her study room and went to take bath, after feeling refreshed she went downstairs to meet her brother's girlfriend. Without knowing to herself, she has already met her two future sister-in-laws.
Sarah looked at the woman who came and sat beside Daniel, her eyes contracted for a fraction of time and her breath hitched a little. Her body stiffened and her fists clenched into balls automatically, as if resisting herself from doing something. But it is only for fraction of seconds, soon she fluttered her eyes and shook her head a little, only then her face became relaxed and she smiled back at that woman.
Jean didn't notice the drastic changes in Sarah, thanks to Daniel who started firing questions on Jean demanding the reason for her late coming. Jean ignored her brother only to see Sarah smiling at her politely. After staring at Sarah for few seconds, Jean is sure that she saw Sarah in many television shows and many other programs.
Jean returned her smile and lifted her hand to shook her hand.
"I am germophobic, sorry." Sarah gave the most apologetic smile while her face looked gloomy with guilt, but deep inside in her heart she is laughing heartily.
Daniel bit his tongue for not notifying them before handed. Thank god that neither of his mother nor grandmother thought of physical contact with Sarah.
"Sorry Jean, I forgot to say. She doesn't mean to offend you." Daniel instantly supported his girlfriend whose hands clutched his sleeves. Even his face is no worse than hers.
Jean started laughing heartily. She isn't offended even a single bit, she has came across many people having worse gemophobia than Sarah. Moreover, as a doctor she knows how sad it will be for a patient to come across these incidents, more than her Sarah would be feeling more humiliated.
"Oh, I am not offended at all. I understand, it will take you a while to become close and familiar with us. We will be patient but I guess my brother already crossed this phase." Jean smiled genuinely.
"I did, not too long back." Daniel proudly sn.a.k.e.d his arms around Sarah's waist.
"Good then, we will of course understand and wait for you to accept us like you did with him." Elena thought of patting her shoulder, but stopped in midair suddenly remembering what she is doing.
"Hmm.. I have no problem till my skin don't come in contact." Sarah shrugged.
Elena smiled and patted awkwardly. Now they understood why she wears full dresses. "My phobia is little extreme. But I am working on it." Sarah pursed her lips.
"Then, brother is she okay when your skin touches hers. You understood what I mean right." Jean winked and teased. Sarah flushed red while Daniel narrowed his eyes.
"Pervert, I have a most shameless and pervert sister. This credit goes to Scott," Daniel retaliated back.
Now, it is Jean's time to narrow her eyes. Others laughed at them happily, no one noticed the tiny smirk on Sarah's face which vanished as faster as it blossomed.
"Now, my answer." Jean demanded.
"What answer? I didn't get your question." Daniel asked innocently, though he is not that dumb not to understand the inner meaning, he wants to know how Sarah will feel like
"I mean can I expect little buns soon," her eyes shone brightly.
Elena and grandmother shook their head while smiling...
This pervert girl!!
"Yeah even before you and Scott, I assure." Daniel smirked, he is no less than Jean..
Who would have thought that it will become true..
Sarah didn't show any emotions but stayed quiet and stoic. She is basically an introvert and naturally don't like to talk much.
It took a while for this shameless and pervert brother and sister to stop their bantering. After having the lunch they spent some time talking casually. Sarah and Jean talked about their careers, works and mostly every stuff. As like before Sarah didn't talk much, she just listened to them attentively as if she is expecting some information from them.
After sunset Daniel dropped Sarah in her condo and went back to mansion.
As soon as he exited her apartment Sarah sighed loudly. She ripped off her dress which concealed almost every part of her body and changed into camisole and shorts before collapsing on her bed. "Damn, this is tough." She mused.
"Really, is it that tough for you. You acted well," the man sitting on her couch mocked her.
She became alert as soon as she listened other voice in her deadly calm condo. She instantly stood up from her bed and instinctively took gun out of her pillow.
"Save it for later." He crossed his leg on his ankle and looked at her indifferently.
"Yes, it is. You got the information you need right so stop mocking at me." Sarah glared at him and opened the door indicating him to go out of her place.
"Tsk.. Tsk.. Smart like always. Do you despise me this much, can't I stay here," he leaned even more and relaxed in her couch.
"Better get your ass out by yourself. I am not in mood to listen your blabbering," she sounded annoyed.
"Or, did you fell in love with Daniel. You were not this rebellious to my touch before like this," he grabbed her wrist and pulled her near him. He traced her hand with his other
She stumbled but balanced her weight on one leg. He smiled darkly and touched her cheek. "Answer me," he gritted his teeth.
"None of your business. It solely depends on my choice." She pushed his hand away and glared at him with blazing eyes before exiting her house.
She took taxi and gave him some address. And dozed back into sleep, but stirred uncontrollably and rubbed her forehead, closing her red eyes she controlled her breath.
"Madam, are you fine. Should I take you to hospital?" Taxi driver asked with concern.
She shook her hand and asked him to stop at public booth to contact someone.
Later she called a person from the public phone.
"Hurry up, I don't have much time left. We should act fast," she softly spoke and hurriedly went inside the taxi and closed her eyes feeling exhausted and disturbed.
