Chapter 240 Girl’s Night

Ann had gotten herself changed quickly and was waiting for Lexi to come and let her know when she had changed so they could both go and collect Aoife for the girl’s night.

They had decided to hit one of the quieter bars in the Enclave the Omega’s that took care of it had already excitedly announced that they would take care of the food and drink for the evening. Ann had tried to insist that they would pay for everything, but the Omega’s were uncharacteristically stubborn.

They had even arranged for the bar to be closed to all males for the evening so that the women could let their hair down and relax without fear of being judged.

Not that any of them really cared what the elders thought, but it would be a nice change not to have to worry about any rumors originating from men that really should know better at their age.

The female elders tended to be much more open-minded and so far, Ann hadn’t encountered any opposition from them. They were seemingly all too eager to see a woman in a strong leadership role and if anything, they had rallied behind her.

While she waited, Ann picked her phone up and gave Eva a call, just to check up on Coral’s progression. The phone only rang twice before it was picked up and answered brightly.

“Good afternoon, you have reached Eva’s phone, she’s a little busy right now but I’m happy to take a message and pass it on if needed. My name is Coral, how can I help you?”

Ann smiled to herself at the confidence and happiness in the previously timid little omega’s voice. She had the perfect mannerism on the phone and it would stand her in good stead.

“Good Afternoon Coral. This is Ann, I was actually calling up to check on your progress.”

“Ann?” Coral answered, the confusion in her voice clear as she struggled to piece together who was calling.

It took a few seconds, but when the realization dawned on her, a loud squeak emitted from the speaker and the sound of clattering and muffled swearing as Ann fought to suppress a chuckle.

Finally, after the very audible fumbling of the receiver, which it was evident she had dropped in her surprise, Coral’s voice re-emerged on the other end of the phone, seemingly a great deal more nervous than she had been previously.

“Ah, Alpha Queen Ann! How stupid of me, I’m so sorry How can I help you? I hope you’re well?” Ann could practically feel her wincing on the other end of the phone. “I’m very well thank you Coral, and how are you? Are you managing okay? Is Eva treating you well?”

“Yes, your highness! She’s treating me wonderfully. She’s a very patient teacher and I’ve learned so

much… she even gave me an electronic diary and taught me how to use it so I Can keep track of schedules a lot easier! I’m a little slow at typing, but Miss Eva assures me that I’ll get better with time at that.” She gushed quickly.

“Excellent, I’m pleased to hear it.” Ann grinned, “Is Eva available at all?”

“Oh! Eva? She’s, er, she’s actually in a meeting at the minute I can go and interrupt if you like? I’m sure it won’t be an issue considering it’s the actual Alpha Queen and the CEO of the company on the phone…”

“No Coral, it’s quite alright. Just let her know that I called to see how you were getting on. If you could ask her to either call me or drop me a message to let me know when she thinks you’ll be ready to take

on the role of my personal assistant here at the Enclave, that would be wonderful.”

“Sure! No problem, your highness.”

“Thank you, Coral. Have a wonderful day.” Ann smiled as she hung up

That was one less thing she had to worry about it seemed. Coral seemed to be getting on well and if there had been any major difficulties, she was sure that Eva would have let her know by now. Honestly, not having a personal assistant wasn’t too big of a deal right now, but as soon as the trials were back underway and the diplomatic visits began again, she was going to need a lot of help keeping her schedule in order as well. In the meantime though, her help would be invaluable in sifting through the documents that arrived at her desk daily needing signatures or responses.

A knock at the door made Ann jump as the doors were flung open and Lexi breezed in wearing possibly the shortest dress that Ann had ever seen in her life.

Lexi pouted and put her hands on her hips as she looked at Ann.

“You can pick your jaw up off the floor now.” She quipped, “I know I look stunning.”

“I wasn’t aware we were getting dressed up like that” Ann protested as she looked over her practical pale blue cashmere tunic and comfy leggings in dismay, “I thought this was going to be a low-key girl’s night!”

Lexi snorted.

“We are going to a bar.” She said, holding a hand up as Ann started to protest, “A BAR’ I refuse to go to a

bar in anything less than ‘dressed to kill’ style.”

“Well, you’re certainly not leaving much to the imagination!” Ann giggled as Lexi glowered at her. “Shut up you prude. If you’ve got it, then you should flaunt it, that’s what I always say!” She sang happily as she teetered over to where Ann was sitting and pulled her upright, linking her arm as she dragged her towards the door

“You’re going to terrify Aoife you know.” Ann chuckled as Lexi kicked her bedroom door closed behind

her.

“Nah, I’m sure that girl is a dark horse, Ann. I think this is just what she needs to see that even the Alpha

Queen and her insane Beta half-breed are as down to earth as the next person.” Lexi retorted confidently. “Oh?” Ann replied dubiously, “And what makes you so sure of that?”

“Because I dropped in on Papa just now.” She answered simply.

Ann stared at her as they continued walking and when Lexi didn’t elaborate she rolled her eyes in exasperation and hit her on the arm.

“Lexi! You can’t just leave it at that!”

“Ow! What?” She objected as she rubbed her arm and scowled at Ann before grinning at her, “Oh right! Yeah, well, I said that she feels familiar and it turns out that I don’t actually know her.”

“Aaaand?” Ann pressed. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Getting information out of Lexi tonight was like getting blood out of a stone and it was infuriating, to say the least.

“Aaaaand it turns out that it’s probably her energy that we’re sensing.” she shrugged. “Lexi!” Ann demanded furiously as she forced her to a stop. “Can you at least give me all the information at once so I don’t have to drag it out of you?”

“Why? It’s so much more fun this way, Queenie.” She giggled before pouting and rolling her eyes. “Fine, you win. Miss spoilsport. Papa said that she has the same energy that Mama did, so he thinks that’s why you and I think she feels familiar.”
