Saving the relationship (3)

Sarah was listening to audio file and felt that her heartbeat increased. Somehow, she was anxious.

Aiden's voice was heard: "Mr. Hill, I was hoping to have a word with you."

"…" Edward didn't respond, but based on Aiden's next words, Sarah assumed that Edward offered him to take a seat. Probably with a wave of his hand.

"It's OK. I will rather stand."

After some silence Aiden spoke again: "As you know, tomorrow I will go with Sarah on a vacation… and… I plan to ask her to marry me."

Sarah was aware how hear heart is wildly thumping. He told Edward that he will propose!

There was a long stifling silence and then Edward's icy voice sounded: "Why are you telling me that?"

"I was hoping to get your blessings." Based on the sound of his voice, it seems that Aiden was submissive. That is rare.
