"My Chancellor, I am sorry to disturb you" said Mira as she walked into Stella's office and she bowed.
"Well that is alright Wura" said Stella as she looked up and she smiled.
She still did not have a personal assistant, and that was due to her being cautious, because after what happened to Adrian, she could never forgive herself, she had been so blind and naïve to not have noticed that he had been replaced by an Imposter all this time.
She was being careful, her position was a very dangerous one, and she was a danger to the people around her, she did not want another innocent Witch to end up dying because of her.
Which was why she had decided that she would remain without a personal assistant, for now she had been able to hold her ground, and Mira occasionally helped her when she could, which was a very great help to her.
"My Chancellor, one of the High Council members want to see you, he says that it is urgent" said Mira as she explained.
"Oh well alright, I will meet him in one of the meeting rooms" said Stella as she sighed, she just had so much to do, and she had multiple places to be at once.
"Alright my Chancellor" said Mira as she bowed her head and she left Stella office as Stella closed a folder.
"I said that I will be right there Mira" said Stella as she heard the door of her office open once again as she sighed her signature on a document with a magic pen that made her signature burn and be engraved to the paper, so that way it would be clear that it was not forged at all.
Stella looked up at the person who entered her office did not speak at all, and she frowned until she saw who it was.
"Curtis??" asked Stella as she could not believe who she was seeing with her own two eyes.
"Where have you been??" asked Stella as that was the first question that came to her mind, she had not seen him in a month.
"Maddie said that you wanted to see me, and well here I am" said Curtis as he looked at Stella and he did not answer her question.
"Look Curtis, you really have bad timing, I have an important meeting to attend to, and you show up now" said Stella as she shook her head.
"I really can not speak to you now, so I will speak to you later, we have many, many things to discuss" said Stella as she gathered the documents on her desk and she placed them together as she stood up and she walked out of her office leaving Curtis there.
He was nowhere to be found for such a long time, and yet when he finally returned he was in such a bad mood, Stella did not even mind at all, that was just how he was, and she knew it, she had dealt with him for a long time now, and she knew how he worked.
"So much for me being here" said Curtis as he scoffed and he walked out of Stella's office.
…
"You want some?" asked Maddie as she handed Matt a plastic container that was see through and it was filled with watermelon pieces.
"Sure why not" said Matt as he smiled and he took one piece and he ate it as Maddie smiled and she took one as well.
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that??" asked Maddie as she looked at Annie with her mouth full of watermelon.
"You were not eating it, you are full, besides, I am hungry" said Maddie as she pouted.
"Do not mind her Annie, she has been eating quite a lot lately" said Matt as he looked at Annie and he shook his head.
"Hey who asked you??" asked Maddie as she looked at Matt and she frowned at him, her eating habits were none of his business.
"Well it's no secret" said Matt as he laughed.
"Well it is no tell all either" said Maddie and Matt laughed at her.
Annie shook her head as she smiled, she had missed their silliness and arguments, they were all just so funny, they were the ultimate trio, and she loved the both of them very much, they were the siblings she had never had, and she was very happy that they were all alright and okay, because the thing she feared most was losing the people whom she loved most.
"I can bet you that Annie is tired of all our arguing" said Matt as he smiled.
"Well it was you who started it in the first place!" said Maddie as she frowned at Matt.
"Luckily there are no pillows here for you to attempt to throw at me" said Matt as he laughed.
"Oh I wished that there were" said Maddie as she shook her head.
"Yeah, yeah" said Matt as he laughed.
"Wait, so where did Curtis go?" asked Matt as he went to sit down on the nearby couch since Maddie was sitting in the chair beside Annie.
"Well I did tell him that Aunt Stella was looking for him, so I guess he went to see her??" said Maddie as she did not want to talk about that annoying book who seemed to be in a worse mood than usual.
"Oh okay then" said Matt as he shrugged, he too was annoyed with Curtis, but what could they do?? Well nothing apparently, Curtis never listened to any of them, the only person he listened to was Annie, and even she could not control him now.
"Ooooh, I know, let's play a game" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Let's play, let's guess what Annie is thinking" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Okay, that sounds challenging" said Matt as he laughed, and Annie looked at the both of them and she shook her head as she smiled, she would have laughed but, she was not sure she could handle such pressure right now.
"Hmm she is probably thinking why we are being annoying all of a sudden, and how we could not survive without her" said Matt as he smiled and he looked at Annie.
"Is that right Annie?" asked Maddie as she smiled and she looked at Annie, and Annie nodded her head.
"You see, I have one point" said Matt as he smiled at Maddie.
"Yeah, yeah, don't get too cocky Matthew" said Maddie as she shook her head and Matt laughed.
"Alright my turn" said Maddie as she turned to look at Annie.
"Hmmm Annie is probably thinking that aren't we bored just staying here all day?" asked Maddie as she smiled.
"Is that right Annie??" asked Matt as he looked at Annie and she shook her head.
"Hehe, you see, I was right" said Maddie as she smiled.
"So Annie the answer to that question is that, we can never get bored with you" said Maddie.
"We would rather be here with you, than anywhere else" said Maddie as she smiled.
"At this point I just think that Annie is nodding her head to everything we say" said Matt as he laughed.
"Oh you know she loves us" said Maddie as she laughed.
…
"Alright, I am here now, please forgive me for keeping you waiting" said Stella as she walked into one of the High Council offices.
"That is perfectly fine my Chancellor" came the voice of a man in a black cloak as he stood up.
"So please tell me what brings you here Professor Angus?" asked Stella as she sat down across the man who was called Professor Angus, he had white hair and brown eyes.
"Well my Chancellor, I recently received some complaints from Professor Reagan the other day" said Professor Angus as he smiled and Stella shook her head, she knew that these people would never stop.
"Well let me stop you right there Professor" said Stella as she smiled.
"The matter that caused those complaints has already been resolved" said Stella as she smiled.
"How do you mean my Chancellor?" asked Professor Angus as he raised an eyebrow at Stella, what did she mean by the problem had already been solved?? Did she kill the girl already?? No, she would never do that.
"Well Annie has already woken up" said Stella as she smiled.
"So there is no need for the debate on whether we kill her or not to continue" said Stella.
"I see…" said Professor Angus.
"Yes Professor, I trust you will relay this good news to your counterparts" said Stella as she stood up and she smiled.
"Yes my Chancellor I shall do so" said Professor Angus as he smiled and he stood up as well.
"Alright, now if you would please excuse me, I have many other matters to attend to" said Stella.
"Go ahead my Chancellor" said Professor Angus as he smiled and Stella smiled as she walked past him and left the room as the smile on his face dropped, all their plans had been ruined.
