BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1518 - Darlene Payne (1)
Master Hollow exited the villa before seven in the morning and he was surprised that everyone is either on the training ground or running, even his disciples are there. Didn\'t Sarah say that this is a vacation and they don\'t need to wake up early and train?
Noah noticed the old man and he approached him respectfully. "Master…"
"Noah…", the old man greeted back. He looked at Noah and remembered that Noah entertained him for hours last night. Master Hollow didn\'t miss that Noah was sneaking glances at Sarah, but other than that, he has a very good opinion of him. Actually, all of the kids here are good kids. Definitely hard working.
Master Hollow saw that Noah is geared up for training, and based on his flushed face and sweat, he is into it.
Master Hollow exhaled. They are treating him well here, so at least he can return the favor. "Show me what you have."
Noah\'s face broke into a grin, \'Mission accomplished!\'
"Allow me…", he pushed Master Hollow\'s wheelchair to the area where the training dummies are so that he can demonstrate his kicks and punches.
Noah is fueled with extra vigor. When he woke up, he saw a message from Sarah that unless there is an emergency with the Army of Chaos, if he wants, he can stay two more days and return with everyone else. And he wants to stay.
Sarah and Aiden are on the training ground as well. They warmed up and are helping others with their training.
Sarah\'s and Aiden\'s plan was to sleep in, but Aiden woke up to check on the pups and he saw that everyone is awake, so when he told that to Sarah, they decided to join. They can\'t be the only ones relaxing.
Master Hollow was giving pointers to Noah, and that attracted attention of Allen and Julius who came closer to observe. Not long after, Master Hollow was working with Noah, Allen, Julius, Ron, Zula, Haru, and Nala.
Sarah and Aiden watched Master Hollow and exchanged knowing glances. They both agree that if Master Hollow decides to stay with them longer, and trains everyone, that would be a great boost for their fighting power. And at the same time, Master Hollow will not be lonely on his mountain. How Sarah and Aiden see it, it\'s a win-win situation for everyone but they don\'t dare make assumptions about Master Hollow\'s mood or his intentions.
Ade and Hande did their own thing. Hande was happy that Ade showed her different exercises, but she was disappointed that he didn\'t show her any punches or kicks. He explained that if Sarah does not approve, he will not risk getting scolded when Hande gets hurt.
Daniel worked with Xiaohui and he enjoyed the way she praised him. Yup, he is awesome.
They all freshened up and gathered for breakfast at eight o\'clock.
Sarah and Aiden shared plans for the day. Everyone has free time until lunch. After lunch, they will have several competitive events like mini Olympic games. In the evening, after dinner, they will do a test of courage and skills where they need to go in pairs and collect clues and tokens placed through the property in the dark while following the map with only a flashlight.
The kids were super excited about the day ahead.
After breakfast, most of the kids went to the indoor playroom which includes a bowling alley, arcade machines, a dartboard, and a pool table. There are also sitting areas where they chatted and played games.
Some of the kids went to the garden, to enjoy the weather while playing cards and listening to music.
Bo, Souta, and Wing didn\'t forget to talk to Sarah and Aiden about swimming. Beck, Nico, Allen, and Julius volunteered to teach Master Hollow\'s disciples swimming. Bo, Souta, and Wing were excited to hear that if they pay attention and work hard, by lunchtime they might learn the basics of how to swim, and then it\'s only a matter of practice to improve.
…
10:19 AM
Sarah and Aiden are in the living room, sitting on the sofa, chatting with Master Hollow. Kitty is by Sarah\'s side, with her head on Sarah\'s lap, and the pups are on the ground, to the right, growling while tugging on a kitchen cloth they stole after breakfast.
Voices and laughter are drifting in through the open windows from the garden and occasionally some kids join them in the living room for a few minutes, to ask a question or share a funny story.
They are all enjoying the peaceful yet lively atmosphere.
"Master…", the butler called when he approached Sarah and Aiden. "There is Miss Payne at the door, requesting to talk to you."
Aiden paused. Why is Miss something looking for him? "Me?"
The butler confirmed. "She said that she wants to talk to Mr. White."
Aiden looked at Sarah, silently asking her if she will join him. It\'s a woman, and considering their history, it might not end well.
Because various vehicles are coming in and out of the property, with deliveries of food, drinks, and other items, Sarah and Aiden turned off notifications for when someone crosses the boundary of their property (for the day at least). The staff is handling those. That is how Miss Payne made her way to the villa without Sarah\'s and Aiden\'s knowledge.
Sarah glanced at Master Hollow, Kitty, and then pointed at her eye (actually, she pointed at Eve-lens). "I will be watching. It\'s the neighbor, see what she wants..."
Aiden exhaled and dragged his legs while walking out toward the main entrance to the villa. He has a bad feeling about this.
...
Aiden stepped in the entry hallway and observed a profile of the woman in her mid-twenties with long wavy brown hair. She is not a beauty, but not bad looking either. The knee-length summer dress is hugging her body in all the right places, flares from her hips lower, and her oversized chests definitely draw attention.
Aiden reminded himself to look into woman\'s eyes because if Sarah is peering through his Eve-lens, he will be in trouble.
Of course, Aiden is not interested in any woman other than Sarah, but large melons are making guys stare, it\'s in their DNA.
Aiden cleared his throat briefly to announce his presence before calling: "Miss Payne?"
She stared at Aiden with surprise obvious on her face and it took her a few seconds before responding. "Yes. I was expecting Lukas or Mr. White."
Aiden chuckled at the thought that this woman is expecting people who are in a mental institution. Memories of them using holograms to push Marcus and Lukas over the edge came to his mind and how Sarah was happy that it all worked out better than expected.
Aiden reminded himself to stay focused, there is a young woman staring at him and he knows that look. At first, she was surprised to see him, but now her eyes are turning gentle and the way she is sticking her chest out, means that she is aware of her assets and she wants to make him aware of them as well. Ah, if Sarah is watching, Miss Payne is in trouble.
