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.”

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
