Is this destiny?

While guys are stuck in the snow, the girls are enjoying warmth and comfort of the villa, oblivious to the troubles their men are facing.

Hill sisters finished cleaning up after lunch and settled in the living area on the sofa, next to the fireplace which Sarah started before lunch.

"Hey, Anna!", Sarah called. "You didn't answer: are you going to join White corp. or not!"

"I want to know as well.", Sophia confirmed. "You are evading this question since morning!"

JoAnna nervously shifted. "I don't know. It might sound great and all… but I'm not comfortable working in a place where Jeff is the Boss. This is my career, and I need to feel accomplished because of my own skills and effort. How many people will take me seriously if they are thinking of me as their lady-Boss? Everyone will just give way and approve of my work no matter what I do, because they will be afraid to offend me."

Sarah and Sophia glanced at each other and burst into laugh.

"Why is that funny?" JoAnna frowned and looked at her sisters in confusion.

"Do you realize that you are working in a place where you are the Boss!??" Sarah asked.

Sophia nodded at Sarah's words and added: "And you are gushing about all the benefits, special treatment, and days off. Be honest: you are enjoying it."

JoAnna looked at her sisters while her mouth formed a big O shape. She didn't think about that. "Until this morning I didn't even know that I'm the Boss… you can't hold that against me."

Sophia looked at JoAnna mockingly. "But that does not change the fact that you are enjoying special treatment from the people who are aware that you are the Boss."

JoAnna took a deep breath and answered in an all-business-serious tone: "In the light of this new information, I will need to think about it."

"Really? I think you made your decision.", Sarah observed.

JoAnna was on the fence thinking if she should join White corp. or not after she gets her degree. When she found out that she is majority owner of LA Medical Center the scale tipped, and she already thought more than once when and how to tell Jeff that she wants to work at White corp.

"What makes you think that?" JoAnna didn't want to acknowledge that Sarah is right.

Sarah was happy to answer JoAnna's question: "Hmm… let's see… we crushed your argument to not work in a place where you are the lady-Boss. Even if your permanent job is in White corp. that will not prevent you from performing surgeries in other hospitals, so your career as a surgeon will not suffer. Next, you mentioned your DNA research... I believe you are aware that White corp. has one of the most sophisticated facilities for medical research available in the country. You can research DNA there as much as you want. And I'm sure that Jeff will not obstruct your freedom to explore any area you are interested in. You will even have people working for you, and they can handle menial tasks so that you focus on important things… and did I mention benefits of coffee breaks and lunches with your favorite baby-sister?"

"When you put it that way, it does sound attractive… but I will make my decision after I get my degree." JoAnna smiled thinking how her sister saw through her.

"Fair enough." Sarah didn't want to push this further. She knows that JoAnna will join White corp. probably as soon as she comes back from her honeymoon.

"Talking about plans… how about you?", Sophia asked Sarah.

"We have our graduation in two weeks. After that is Anna's birthday and wedding. In between those we will finish settling down in our home. Aiden is in charge of the landscape; it will be amazing. It should be done before Anna's wedding. If you don't want to stay at the resort, you are welcome to stay with us. And you even get a choice if you want to stay in our home or the penthouse." Sarah told Sophia.

"Did you two talk about the wedding?" Sophia was hoping that Sarah will address this topic.

"Not really." Sarah got defensive. This was a sensitive topic because Sarah remembered that this is the last thing they talked about before they found out about Enrique, who is behind him… and before Aiden told her that they should separate.

"Are you thinking about it?" Sophia persisted.

"Well, now I am!" Sarah tried to hide her anxiousness behind a smile.

"How about company meeting?", JoAnna asked.

Sarah was surprised with this change in topic. "What about it?"

JoAnna smiled like there is something Sarah does not know, and JoAnna is more than willing to reveal it. "I heard Jeff talk with Steve about it few times. It's at the end of October. It is the biggest event in the company. Are you getting ready for that?"

Sarah didn't understand where JoAnna is going with this. "Why would I get ready? It's some presentations, food and games."

"Pre-sen-ta-ti-ons." JoAnna stretched the word on purpose. "Each department gives a presentation of their achievements. Didn't you modify security for whole White corp.?"

Sarah froze. "Even if that is worth presenting, someone else should do it."

"Yup. Someone with a title of a lead, or a director. You were driving those efforts, so your Boss should talk about it, right? Oh, wait… you don't have one. That leaves… you!" JoAnna finished with a huge grin.

She knows that Sarah avoids the spotlight, she is a shy introvert who would stay in the back at any cost. Seeing that Sarah already paled from stage fright, JoAnna could not contain her laughter.

"Anna, what are you doing?", Sophia scolded JoAnna. "Why are you scaring her?"

Sophia turned to Sarah. "Don't panic. As much as you know, Anna is only messing with you and you don't even need to give a presentation. But if you do, I will be happy to help. There is nothing better for breaking the stage fright than practice. And imagine: wouldn't it be great if you get to show off your work in front of all those people, and Aiden? You told me that you are proud that he is valedictorian and that he will get to deliver a speech during your graduation ceremony. I'm confident that he will be just as proud of you if you end up on the stage."

Hearing Sophia's words, Sarah relaxed. She was mostly focused on the part that she does not need to give a presentation. But making Aiden proud of her didn't sound bad either.

"Thank you. You are a very good sister…" Sarah glanced at JoAnna, "…not like someone else who only likes to tease!"

JoAnna stuck her tongue out and grimaced and they all laughed.

They chatted for some time before all three of them got increasingly nervous while looking at the relentless snowfall thought the large window.

"They should be back by now…" Sophia sighed.

"Aiden said they will be back by lunch time if they finish fast enough. This snow must have caused the delay." Sarah explained.

JoAnna nodded. She agrees with Sarah, but she is still worried. "I wish they kept their phones with them. I will be at ease if I know they are OK."

Sarah got her phone. "We can't call them, but we can see where they are." She checked their location based on the GPS in their rings. "Look. They are close by. No need to worry."

Sophia and JoAnna looked at Sarah's phone and relaxed.

"All right! When they get in, they will be tired and hungry from spending the day outside. Let's make them something filling and tasty for dinner!" JoAnna exclaimed.

All three sisters were in a much better mood knowing that their men are close by.

They went to the kitchen while discussing what to make for dinner and dividing work.
