Mirabella's phone buzzed in her pocket. She slowly pulled it out, glancing at the screen as she muttered, "If it's not this mess, there'll be another one waiting for me."

Since every option was a mess, it didn't really matter which one she chose.

After shooting off a quick reply, she thought for a moment, then looked up with a determined glint in her eyes. "Who knows, maybe once I jump in, this mess might just turn into something good?"

Nick's lips twitched slightly. "I'm not kidding around. Ravenshade is complicated. The elders want you to represent the Davis family, betting it'll make you unpopular. You might end up being the scapegoat."

If anyone else from the Davis family was handling this, the deal might just sail through smoothly.

But sending his sister, who'd never been in the public eye and was seen as someone without status, to sign a major contract would likely stir things up.

Especially with a third party involved in Ravenshade, the whole thing was giving Nick a headache.

"Why don't we swap tasks? I'll tackle the Ravenshade issue," Nick offered. His task was tough too, but at least it seemed a tad easier than what his sister was facing.

"Nick, you should trust your sister," Mirabella said, pointing at herself and adding with a grin, "I'm pretty capable, you know." ?s s find?novel.net

Nick was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Oh, by the way, Nick, I'm heading to the hospital later. Want to tag along?" Mirabella switched the topic.

Nick, still wrapped up in worries about the task, hadn't caught the news that Chester had woken up. He just shook his head, "You go ahead. I've got some stuff

to sort out. Keep me posted if anything happens."

Mirabella nodded, tucking her phone away. "Alright."

Not long after, Nick dropped her off at the hospital and drove off in a hurry.

**Mirabella headed upstairs. She knocked on the door and paused when she saw two people sitting closely on the hospital bed. She raised a hand, playfully coveting her eyes. "Did I walk in at a bad time?"

Nellie looked a bit embarrassed, unable to free her wrist from Jim's grip. She glared at him and muttered, "Let go, we're making a scene."

Jim simply replied, "No."

Nellie was left speechless.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, seeing Nellie's helpless expression, and silently gave Chester a thumbs up.

Jim cleared his throat awkwardly and got to the point. "Mira, I heard you got the Ravenshade assignment today?"

"Yeah," Mirabella nodded, having already guessed that Chester's message summoning her to the hospital was about this.

Jim's expression turned serious. "Ravenshade is a tricky situation. I

have someone else de

it ve

asked Grady to get you a different task."

Those old timers must think they can push you around just because I'm not there

to stop them.

Mirabella settled into a nearby chair,

tempted to prop up her leg but

decided against it, remembering her

ladylike persona in Chester's

presence. So, she sat up straight

Otherwise, it wouldnt be fair to the

others."

"But it's not fair to you!" Jim had planned to head back to the guild the moment he

heard, but Grady had talked him out of it.

Seeing his niece's kindness, Jim felt a stab of guilt.

Damn those old codgers!
