Just a quickie
James opened the door to the guest quarters, ushering Sie inside.
"This will be your room for the next day or so, until we get you moved to more permanent quarters," he said, smiling. "We'll arrange for some of your belongings to be picked up from the Academy soon."
Very select items of Sie's belongings, that was. Nothing to remind her of god times had there. Nothing that would make her want to go back. Otherwise, Miss Erisia's talents would be wasted.
Sie nodded absently, looking around the room. It was nice enough. Slightly hotel-ish. Quite different from her room at the . . . at the other place.
She smirked to herself. Dawn was going to get quite the rude awakening when Sie didn't come back. Too bad for her. She didn't like Sie's weaknesses? Well fine, Sie'd get out of her way.
"Thanks, James," she said. "If you don't mind, I'd like to try and get a nap. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night."
James nodded politely. Always be polite to the ladies.
"Of course. I'll come and get you for supper around six o'clock. Until then, Miss Mossier."
Shutting the door, he headed off down the hall, pulling out his cell phone. Dialing, he waited until the other end was picked up.
"Yes, Miss Erisia. Everything has been seen to. . . . . Yes, ma'am. . . . . Shall I dispatch someone to see if Mossier's information is true? . . . . All right. . . . . Right away, ma'am. . . . . Do you still wish me to go to Spain and deliver your message to your ex-assistant? . . . . Very well. First thing tomorrow. . . . . Yes, ma'am. . . . . Goodbye, Miss Erisia."
Closing the cellphone, he continued on, whistling casually. Mistress Erisia's ex-assistant would be a very unhappy man this time tomorrow.
