Lucky 338
While Calix was piping Lou at Horvart University, a secret meeting was being held in Dellia that only a few select people were allowed to attend.
The place was well-lit, but it was quiet and reserved.
"I can't believe I'm here, I have a lot to do."
Marianne frowned as she looked around. She confirmed that some of the participants had already arrived.
After the announcement that Marianne would be the next leader of the Francine Clan, her life became very busy. If not because this meeting was important to her, she would go to her other appointments.
"Look who's talking, you're not the only one who's busy."
Scarlett rolled her eyes. She crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair. Her schedule was packed. Now that she was the matriarch of the Robinson Clan, she had more things to do. If not for her father helping her in the shadows, Scarlett's career might have been hard.
The elders respected her for her talent. But she was still young, and even the other clans snickered behind her back.
"Everyone is busy. Even Nikki, who is taking care of Patricia, is busy," Kimberly added.
"Y-yes."
Nikki agreed with what Kimberly said. Her voice was still weak as usual.
"Ah, I miss Calix. All I do every day is work here and there, and travel to dangerous places. I can only stalk him once a week, but it's still not enough. I want to see him~"
Yuna grumbled and the other women kept their mouths shut. It was obvious that they agreed with her.
They all sighed at the same time. They miss Calix even though they see him at least once a week. The barrier of long-distance relationships affected them so much.
"Hey Kimberly, when are you going to make another call?"
Scarlett looked at the woman with the glasses. She was talking about the phone that could contact Calix without being detected by the Junian network.
"The parts and components are hard to come by."
"Give me a list, I can contact my assistant to find them."
"Me too."
It seemed that Marianne and Scarlett wanted their own phones to communicate with Calix.
"Like I said, the parts and components are hard to find."
Kimberly nonchalantly adjusted her glasses and grinned at them.
"Tch!"
The two women clicked their tongues. Judging by Kimberly's annoying expression, she would never make phones for them, even if they could get the parts. It was obvious that she never wanted the others to contact Calix.
"Uuhhh..."
Yuna was grumbling, emaciated, and depressed. Her job was quite exhausting and it was taking its toll on her. She looked at Nikki, who was fidgeting in the corner, making herself small.
That giant woman is really...
Yuna could not deny it, but Nikki was the most well-behaved of them all. She was always quiet, rarely spoke, and she was modest. She was also the only mother in the group and had enough experience in raising a family.
The women were serious. They were all looking forward to having a baby, and Nikki's experience was important to them.
"Hey, how's Patricia?"
Yuna asked. She liked Patricia because she was cute and sweet. The little girl liked Yuna's cooking.
"S- she is fine. She transferred to another school and has already made friends."
Nikki was happy to see her daughter smiling and telling stories about her school life.
"If it wasn't for me being able to read your lips, I'd never understand what you're saying."
As usual, Nikki's voice was weaker than an ant.
"I'm jealous that you can retire from the army. Unlike me. The Army really needs my Term Attribute and it's impossible to quit just like that."
Yuna became even more depressed. At this sad moment, she really needs Calix's huge PP.
Nikki retreated after the Blood Moon. She didn't want to risk her life. She had a daughter to protect and being a soldier was not the best job for her.
She decided to go into business instead. Now Nikki made cakes and pastries. Her bakery was famous in the capital after a well-known food blogger reviewed her shop and gave it a perfect five stars.
Of course, it was definitely NOT because of Calix's luck... ahem.
"As soon as my mission is over, I will visit your shop and play with Patricia. I miss that little girl."
Yuna smiled.
"I want to come too, contact me when you're going."
Kimberly joined the conversation. She was also close to Patricia.
"Count me in."
Scarlett didn't want to be left alone.
"Thanks, I'll bake cookies and cakes for you."
Nikki shyly nodded her head. She was happy to see that so many people loved her daughter.
"..."
As for Marianne, she bit her lip. She also wanted to join in and see the cute little girl, but she was too proud to speak. She didn't want to lower herself.
In the end, Marianne continued to stare at Nikki. The tall woman was sweating because she thought Marianne was angry with her. Nikki lowered her head, afraid to meet Marianne's gaze.
'Why don't you look? Can't you see I want to join in? Go ahead! Go ahead and invite me!'
Marianne said with a look.
But Nikki misunderstood and thought that Marianne was staring daggers at her.
Their conversation ended when they felt a new person arrive. A woman with dark skin entered the room, she had a seductive figure and strutted in.
"Look who we have here? The matriarch of Robinson, the heir of Francine, the COO of Cudgel Tech, the teleporter of the army... and a traitor. What a nice combination!"
Esmeralda grinned beautifully and sat down in the nearest chair. She looked around and nodded.
"You picked a nice place to meet, this place is well-lit. I suppose you are afraid of me."
She shrugged. The others didn't like her attitude, but they remained calm. It was stupid to face the President in a fight.
"Good evening, everyone. Let's have a nice evening."
Esmeralda giggled.
