Up on the rooftop terrace…
Sophia looked at Sarah with a complicated expression.
"Now that it's just the two of us, can you explain who those people are?", Sophia is referring to Jarred and Charlie.
Sarah immediately replied: "Jarred Smith and his nephew Charlie. We were having lunch at the time when I found out that something strange is happening with you in LA Medical Center. They were kind to offer four of their bodyguards to assist us, and for some reason they tagged along as well."
Sophia was not satisfied with this explanation. "How come you had lunch with them? Are you friends or something? How do you know them?"
"I would not call them friends. We met in Vegas… this June. In something like a poker tournament." The moment these words left her mouth, Sarah realized that Sophia will not approve of her explanation. Gambling and Sarah in same the sentence makes Sophia (and JoAnna) cringe.
Sophia inhaled sharply. "Gambling buddies?"
