Alexia was in all her states thinking about what Sir Huck told her earlier in the phone. She kept on thinking about it trying to figure out what he meant by "It's for the Satchertz's survival"
"This is not something to take as a joke. Sir Huck can't talk like this without a reason. He might be aware of something that he wanna hide from us" thought Alexia. Then suddenly,she remembered of something which made her try to figure things out
She remembered that day which she entered Sir Huck's office and saw him shivering and all scared with and ugly expression. He was in all his states and shouted at her to make that order for the crystal
She remembered everything. That day Sir Huck was so unstable and scared. It was the first time that she saw him like that and she was wondering what happened to him to be as such in that state
"Maybe he encountered some threatening and he's forced to do so because the threatening might be directed to his life and that of his family" thought Alexia
"What if he needed to protect us from an attack....dangerous beasts....no can't be that. A clan attacking us.....no that can't be it too, we signed a peace treaty right so it's something else..." Alexia was talking to herself as a mad woman and her heard was already for her overthinking.
She then stood there with her eyes wide open as she realised something which is worst that all she could think about
"Maybe we are gonna be attacked by the Demons and Sir Huck foresaw it and he is trying to get us prepared for that" as she said this, her heart started to beat so fast and her chest was heaving higher and higher ever moment.
Her breath was already becoming rough making it hard for her to take in air properly. Sweat was rolling down her face to the floor. She stumbled and sat on the floor due to her legs becomming numb from how scary she was feeling now. He whole body was shivering so much that she fell to the floor.
"If that is really what makes Sir Huck to talk like, then we are all lost if i don't get all the crystals as he demanded" said Alexia standing from the floor with her still numb legs.
"Am gonna do my all to bring back all the crystal as orderd Sir Huck. We have to obtain all those crystals, maybe Sir Huck has a plan on how to fade them off if it was the case that we are their target"
Saying so, Alexia left the room in which she was as directed herself to the Mendez's tower. She directed herself to the floor of Chuck, the man responsible for the mining sites of the Mendez's Company.
She was going there everyday to know how the process was going on. And know how much crystal was left to be mined again. Entering his office, she went directly and took a seat.
"Good morning Sir Chuck. Hope you got a nice night" said Alexia with a forced smile since she was still in trauma and all scared of what she figured out earlier
"Ohh good morning Miss Alexia. The night was all nice and hope same for you" said Chuck with a smile on his face which he couldn't stop in the presence of such a beauty
"Yeah but just a little headache" said Alexia with her still forced smile
"No need to ask me anything Miss Alexia, I know why you are here for"
It was obvious that Chuck knew the reason of her coming at his floor since she was here everyday without exceptions.
"I can tell you that the mining is going on well and the crystals shall be all ready in not long" explained Chuck with a smile
"That's great Sir Chuck. It would be nice if we have them before the required time. I will leave you then Sir Chuck I have to make a call"
Saying so, Alexia stood with the thought of leaving the office but to her surprise, she felt a hand hold her by the wrist
Alexia turned around and it was Chuck doing all that "What's wrong Sir Chuck, is there a problem" said Alexia looking at Chuck who was looking at her with eyes full of glitters
"Why leave now Miss Alexia, just stay with me and take a drink while we talk about thinks other than business"
Saying so, Alexia already realised what he was talking about and slapped his hand away from her wrist "Sorry for that Sir Chuck, I have alot more thing to do at this moment and as I just told you, I have to make a call now"
"Alexia just a moment ok, just relax for some minutes. Aren't you tired to be working all day long without taking some time for yourself" said Chuck with a smile "Just relax for fifteen minutes, it won't take long dear"
Hearing him talk, Alexia sat down but with a still stern look on her face. For her whole existence, she has never being interpellated by a man saying they should take a drink. She has never experienced what was true love and this was all because of her personality.
She was beautiful and smart but her always stern look pasted on her face was driving all men away. With that, she always stayed devoted to her work and didn't care about anything else again than serve Sir Huck with her all might. Making him proud of her was her only objectif.
Chuck then took out two tea cups and went to the coffe machine "Would you like some simple tea or fuse tea" quired Chuck with a smile "I would prefer fuse tea with some lipton" said Alexia still not having a sweet expression on her face
Serving her what she need and taking thesame thing, Chuck sat down on his seat and took a sip of the fuse tea. They stayed silent for quite a moment but Chuck decided to break the silence and open a topic of discussion
"So hmmm.....Miss Alexia since when have you been working for Sir Huck" inquired Chuck still smiling and trying to soften the atmosphere. 'Men are always so stupid. Does he think that he will make me fall in this way. Am all devoted to my work and am not here to relax or hear whatsoever he says. Am here to make Sir Huck proud of me. Let me just answet to his questions and end all this stupid thing'
Alexia's thought was that of a woman who didn't about anything but making her Boss proud of her "It's been fifteen years Sir Chuck." "Nonono Miss Alexia, please no formalities between us ok. Just call me Chuck....Chuck Bloomberg" said Chuck with a charming voice
Alexia Just rolled her eyes and shook her head. She saw this as childishness and just cried for him because all his efforts are all for nothing "You can call me Alexia."
After he heared what she said, Chuck was confused about why she just said the name Alexia and stopped, so inquired for an answer "Just Alexia....hmmmm don't you have another name" "Nope....am not from a noble family. So am just named Alexia" explained Alexia coldly "Ohh...ok Alexia got that"
It was normal for some people to have only one name with no family name. The nobles which were the rich people of Erkaphilphz gave themselves a common name which were used to separate them from the public. So each member of a noble family will have a name for them and also the family name just like Chuck who was from the Bloomberg family.
On the other hand, Alexia who wasn't from a noble family just had a name for her but this never made her to give up in life since those from noble families where the ones to have the highest opportunities in this world.
"So can I know more about you?? " Inquired Chuck with a smile "I don't think so Chuck. But now I need to go"
Lifting from her seat, Alexia directed herself to the door but she was stopped by Chuck who held on her wrist onemore "Why so early Alexia, we haven't even said anything between us. Just relax abit for a while" said Chuck with pleading eyes
Slapping his hand off her wrist, Alexia walked to the door and turned aroud "Sorry but i prefer work than relaxation" said Alexia before leaving the office
