What was so special about this exact picture, Noah had?
"HI,"
I looked up at Alex the next day.
"You seem off,"
"Hmm.."
"Did you go through the project file?"
"Which one?" I asked as I was not sure what he was talking about.
"This, I gave you yesterday," ALex handed me the file.
I went through it with him and let my assistant, Jason, get it done.
"Ok now tell me what is wrong?" asked Alex sitting near my chair.
"I have been thinking of that photo,"
"You mean the one that Mr.William showed us?"
"Yes,"
He looked away at me as I grew horns in my head.
"Why do you think too much about it?"
"I don't know, after seeing that I just had some uneasy feeling,"
"Like?"
"Noah has secretly watched over us for many years, and a feeling of someone is watching us,"
"Why do you feel as such?"
"I don't know Alex, I really don't know. But I think we need to investigate that photo,"
"If you say so, we'll look into it. I mean it's true I also felt a bit odd as soon as I saw that photo yesterday," said Alex. "Did Little Bud say anything?"
"No, she was not that bothered by it,"
"Maybe we can find something from that book?"
"Yes, we'll ask Mr.William and see if we can go through it,"
After that Alex went out for a meeting while I went back to check on the progress of the newly started project. Even though this project is progressing with no worries, I have little doubt about the supplier used by the contractor. So I had Markus investigate him secretly.
"Hey, how are you?" As soon as I got home, I asked Sarah, who was usually waiting for me by the fireplace.
"Good. Go up and have a bath. I will have tea ready for you,"
"Ok,"
As soon as I got out of the bath, Alex called with a request to arrange a trip to the someplace where Noah took the photo. With that, I went down to see Sarah getting ready a cake she had baked just now.
"Smells heavenly,"
"I know you like, lemon cake,"
"hmm... Alex wants us to go on a trip for a few days,"
"Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise according to him,"
"Hmm, I hope it won't be like the last time,"
"No I am sure this time it's just going down memory lane," I said while sitting with her and watching the night sky from the porch.
Last trip with Alex,
"Little Bud, I am sure you are going to love it,"
"So where are we going?"
"You'll see when we get there,"
The place was a hilltop mansion he had seen on the internet. The place looked stunning from the outside, but..
"Alex, are you sure this is the place?"I asked getting out of the car.
"yes, and I have arranged for us to have a camping trip near the lake,"
"ALEX," cried Meg.
"What?"
"Did you forget that..." Meg tried to remind him of Sarah's condition. Yes, the outdoors can be pretty cold.
"Hmm... well..."
"It's ok. This is just for a few days, Meg. Nothing will happen to me," said Sarah who didn't want to spoil Alex's plan.
But I was worried. Knowing how things might make her fear. So I made extra sure to be with her all the time. The cabins looked cozy and I requested the owners to give us some extra sheets to stay warm. Which will make Sarah warm at night.
The dinner was prepared around the fire pit with other guests and continued till late with sing along and stories. But I excused myself early and went to our cabin with Sarah. What I noticed was she didn't seem to feel the place look familiar. Maybe she had forgotten since she was pretty young when visited here.
The night was pretty cold and I made sure she was warm. Who was that calling at this time,
"ALEX!!!"
"Sorry boss... but I planned we'll visit that place today,"
"Ok...She is still asleep. How about you two come here with breakfast in about an hour or so,"
"yes, will meet you in an hour,"
