Chapter 103: Her First Task
"No, he’s not home," Lethia answered as she moved to sit down. She caught a flicker of disappointment on Adam’s face.
"So, Queen... all of that is true?" Chasey whispered as she leaned in closer.
"Chasey, just talk like usual. It’s fine. No one would care about what we’re saying even if you start howling right here."
Chasey cleared her throat. "Um, alright."
Lethia chuckled at Chasey’s behaviour. Over the past four days, she had already explained everything that had happened to her in their group chat.
She couldn’t attend the Executive Aide orientation, of course, thanks to the madness of Caelum’s rabid fans who were still roaming around Lykon Haven trying to hunt her down.

"Anyway, that bitch Thania’s been pestering me like hell, Queeenn... Ugh! Yesterday, she cornered me in the bathroom and started interrogating me about you. She even tried to snatch my phone to look for your name. Thank God Adam stepped in and rescued me."
Chasey had snapped back into her usual self, ranting with fiery energy.
