"A party? Hmm. That would be fun. I'm sure Saint would want to go. He's been itching to party."
"I'll text you the deets," she assured me with a wink. "Maybe I can try to go."
"Miss Clementine."
We both blinked at the sudden formal statement, and I could see the joy literally sink from Aurelia's expression as she slowly looked over to her left to the culprit of the declaration.
The girl standing before us had to be at maximum 4'10" and one look at her bland suit and black hair reminded me of a child dressing up as a business person for Halloween.
"I've completed all your requests. As for Friday, based on your schedule, you're booked for a meeting."
I frowned at her statement as I stood a little taller.
"You shouldn't be listening in on people's conversations without introducing yourself."
The girl looked over in my direction. Those black orbs that were so emotionless she might as well be a robot looked me up and down.
"As Miss Clementine's assistant, it’s my duty to ensure she's aware of her previous appointments."
"I never booked anything on Friday," Aurelia voiced.
"Correct, but you're needed for a meeting and since you were free, I booked it for you," she replied.
"This kid is nothing short of a puppet,"Bria growled."I don't like her."
Agreed.
Aurelia was clearly holding her tongue, but I could see the waves of anger oozing out of her aura that was leaking out from her normally controlled hold.
"MISS AURELIA!"
We jumped at the joyous squeal and turned our attention to the approaching valet assistant who was walking with a familiar girl.
"Wait a minute," I began as my eyes widened at the girl, who took the lead, rushing over to us with two boxes with ribbons.
"Aoa?!" Aurelia gasped in shock. "Wait. I thought you went back to Japan after it was confirmed you couldn't be my assistant."
"Actually, I was at the airport a few hours ago," Aoa declared as she came to a stop and looked between us before bowing her head. "Good evening, Miss Clementine. Good evening, Miss De Luca! It's a pleasure to see you again!"
Her eyes were beaming with excitement. "I was at the airport when a member of the Coven requested for me to return! I'm unsure about the details, but I got recommended by some prince for my magic skills and management abilities! I guess because I can handle the high demand of my baked goods and still be of assistance, he vouched for me! I think it's someone I've sold cookies to. I wish I could remember his name, but he bought a bunch of cookies as of late since his girlfriend really loves them!"
I knew right away who it was, but I was so damn shocked Neo had worked that fast. It had only been a few hours since he left. Somehow he’d managed to stop Aoa from returning to Japan, gotten the Coven's approval for her to be here, and transported her from the airport.
"But...why are you here?" Aurelia inquired.
"Ah! I forgot to elaborate." She giggled. "The higher-up members of the Coven told your family you need a second assistant that vibes with your energies! After a quick scan and comparison to my current elemental balance, they approved that I'm a better fit as your main assistant! So, as of now, I'll be your assistant and aid you for the rest of the evening. I was also advised to give you a few days off on your schedule so I can adjust and be properly trained for your needs."
Aurelia was speechless, and the other girl was glaring at Aoa.
"And what about me?" she dryly declared.
"Ah!" Aoa replied and turned to the girl with a smile. "I was told you'd be contacted upon my arrival! I think they want you to aid a woman who works closely with the Coven. I obviously have no clue who it is, but you'll be Aurelia's second assistant if I'm unable to work."
The girl was going to reply but her phone began to ring. With a frown, she looked at Aurelia. "I will dismiss myself then." She didn't even wait for a reply as she spun around and picked up the phone, walking away and leaving us in silent glee.
Aurelia looked at me.
"What did you do?" she whispered. I shrugged as the valet man took the last of my shopping bags.
