It was perhaps half an hour after Luc left. Just as Elune was tidying up after I finished the heavenly breakfast, we heard a knock at the door.
"I will get it, Miss Roen."
Elune was quick to respond, and hurried to the door and opened it. Curious who it might be- since I rarely received visitors to my office other than Cain, Abe, and Luc, I followed her with cautious but keen steps. But immediately after she opened the door, Elune gasped and closed it again.
"Who is it?" I asked her. More curious than alarmed.
"We need to contact the Mistress."
She probably meant Luc.
People addressed her in many different ways—'Luc,' 'the Mistress,' 'Ma'am,' and, as Abe occasionally slips, 'the Boss.' But whatever title was she was addressed with, she commanded respect, authority, and sometimes - it seemed - fear.
There was a knock on the door again. It wasn't aggressive, but it definitely sounded a little firmer.
