In a luxurious restaurant downtown Chicago, VIP room is reserved for the purpose of in-laws meeting each other for the upcoming Kiani-Young wedding.
Ellie and Jasper are there with Sarah and Aiden present.
Sarah told Ellie that as the maid-of-honor and the best man, the two of them would love to join this introductory lunch. Ellie was happy to hear that, the more the better.
Ellie was also surprised to hear that Sarah prepared a penthouse for her father.
"Why did you do that? Really… it's not necessary.", Ellie said helplessly.
"Don't worry about it. It would be empty otherwise. Out of two penthouse apartments, we are using only one. Like this, your dad does not need to stay in the hotel. The penthouse is his to use and the floor below has six apartments, all available to his men. With a private elevator access, it's a secure place where he can relax.", Sarah explained.
