Bab 88: Notification

Zara paced back and forth, her boots clicking against the polished floor of Crescent Moon Agency's office.

Zara's voice was a mix of frustration and worry as she stopped mid-stride, crossing her arms and glaring at Victoria, who sat calmly at her desk.

"Zara, relax," she said in her usual calm tone. "We've got everything under control."

Zara's left eye twitched.
