Madam Joan's eyes gleamed with determination as she pulled out her phone and dialed Paige's number, her mind racing with plans and schemes.
Paige's voice came on the line, bright and cheerful. "Hello?"
Madam Joan's smile grew wider. "Paige, dear, it's Madam Joan. I hope you're doing well."
Paige's tone changed, becoming more cautious. "Madam Joan. What can I do for you?"
Madam Joan's laughter was low and husky. "Oh, I think we can help each other, Paige. I have a little proposition for you. Are you interested?"
Paige hesitated for a moment before responding. "Yes, I'm interested."
Madam Joan's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Good. Let's schedule a meeting, then. When are you available, Paige?"
Paige thought for a moment before responding. "How about Wednesday at 2 pm?"
Madam Joan's eyes narrowed slightly, but she nodded. "Very well. Wednesday at 2 pm it is. I'll see you then."
