Alysa cringed a little at Aoife’s words, knowing that while she meant the best, it probably would not be taken as such. Her fingers ran through her hair as she stretched out her body, hating how tense she was at that moment. The Scion was most definitely in need of a massage, that was for sure. Maybe after the meeting, she would sneak away and get one at the nearby massage place. Returning her attention back to the situation at hand, she tuned back in time for Rowan to tell the druid to get out.
“Damn it.” Alysa muttered, jaw clenching in slight annoyance. What was it about her that appeared to be a constant failure in the eyes of Rowan? It was incredibly damning to her self-esteem, more than she wanted to admit. Shaking her head, she tugged her cell phone out again and turned the sound back on, peering at the last text she had received from her boss.
“You said you wanted fresh meat. I brought you fresh meat. Granted, the last one I brought went insane and we had to kill her and the male I bit disappeared… but still.” Alysa cringed again, realizing those two things weren’t really helping her out any. Sighing, she just nodded at Rowan. “I understand. I’ll try not to miss any more calls and will do the job as ordered.”
