"No!" The female duke moved to the edge of the table, "I need to think this through, could you leave me alone for a while, Judy?"
"Alright!" Judy nodded, turning to leave the room.
Once Judy left, the female duke reached for the phone on the table.
"The task I assigned you earlier can begin now." The duke took a deep breath, "Remember, do not harm her."
"Yes, Duke!"
After hanging up, the female duke slowly leaned back into her chair.
"Ivana, I hope you don't disappoint me."
...
...
The next day.
Ivana initially thought the female duke would send someone to cause trouble again.
But the whole day was uneventfully calm. She was quite content with the quiet, using the free time to finish her oil painting.
Dusk was setting in when her mobile phone rang. Ivana had just finished the final touches on her painting after working several nights straight, finally finishing both paintings.
She stepped back to evaluate her work and allowed herself a satisfied smile.
