The message was sent, and two hours later, Chief Ford arrived at Caeluna Base.
The man's status was no small matter, so his arrival drew the attention of Caeluna Base's other high-ranking officials. Word of his visit quickly reached Stella Sterling.
Stella Sterling welcomed them into her villa and had Stephen Lawrence prepare some fruit and pastries.
Mr. Magnus had come along as well.
Mr. Magnus gazed at the fresh fruit and pastries laid out before him, a hint of envy in his voice. "Sterling, you're living much better than an old man like me!"
Even as a high-ranking official at Meridia Base, he rarely got to eat such things.
Yet Sterling had brought them out just to entertain her guests.
Mr. Magnus suddenly found his mouth watering.
Stella Sterling smiled. "Well, I had to bring out the good stuff for my honored guests, didn't I?"
'Of course, I eat these whenever I want. It's not just me, either. I give them out to the members of Caeluna Base once a month as a bonus.'
