The Return

[AlphaWolf215]

It's important I understand your situation Lieutenant. And, on a more personal note, I do wish all the best to your sister, and wish her a speedy recovery. I won't pry any further.

In fact, I'm satisfied that something of that magnitude, such as a serious illness within the family, would require your immediate attention.

She sat back, almost relaxing, certainly the most relaxed he'd ever seen the woman

Edmund may have told you before, but my return to the board was on Her Majesty's orders. Whether he was happy with that arrangement or not is not my concern, I am here to carry out her orders, to the letter. I know you, and your family, have always been loyal and diligent in carrying out her interests.

She paused, taking a sip of water

I may have some work for you, if you are available, though I'll make it clear, you won't be working for me.
