CASSANDRA RAPIDLY TAPPED her foot against the wooden floor, her forefinger tracing the words written on the page of her journal. With the phone pinned between her shoulder and her ear, she answered the question of the other person she was currently conversing with.
"Yes, Kathy, I need you to deliver those things to Stark Industries for their charity night this Saturday." she instructed, twirling her pen around between her fingers. "Yes, just leave them at the reception area, they'll know what to do. Yes, thank you so much. I'm really sorry for this trouble, Kathy. Yes, take care."
The sorceress ended the call, putting her smartphone down on her table as she checked another box of her to-do list. Actually, Cassandra had just finished talking to Virginia Potts just earlier. The Stark Industries' CEO personally requested her to plan another event of theirs. They were one of her favorite regular clients and it was always a pleasure for her to prepare their social events.
Cassandra remembered the day she first received a call from Virginia Potts, asking her to be the event coordinator of their product launch event. She screamed in her office in excitement and immediately met with the leader of the multinational industrial company that day. She had no idea how Virginia heard about her small event planning agency, but she wasn't complaining -- nor will she ever for it brought her more recognition and opportunities.
Her ears soon picked up the sound of footsteps and she raised her eyes to see Karl enter the common room, his visage resolute. "We have to convince the Ancient One to accept Strange." he went directly to his point, crossing his arms.
Cassandra sighed.
"You know he's got potential. We shouldn't waste that."
The young woman leant back on her chair. Truth be told, she was a bit hesitant to convince the Ancient One to let the former neurosurgeon in because she had to keep her dignity intact. Accepting Stephen Strange meant she'll see him around Kamar-Taj and so of course, she will always be reminded of her embarrassing moment. Cassandra groaned, slamming her head twice on the table for her stupidity.
"Cass? Are you okay?"
I really shouldn't have drank that evening! What was I thinking? She internally screamed to herself before raising a thumbs-up to inform her friend that she was fine even though she really wasn't. Sniffing, she pursed her lips and acted as if nothing had happened. "Yeah, I'm just a bit tired. I agree with you." She nodded. "I'll back you up if you're going to talk to the Ancient One about bringing him in."
"Thank you." sighed Mordo in relief. "Come on, she's in the Narthex."
Cassandra shut her journal, silently praying she was doing the right thing. Carrying it with her, she followed Mordo to the Sanctum Narthex where a huge globe floated above a pedestal in the center of the room. The young woman watched as the Ancient One twisted the dials to slowly turn the globe. A soft, golden glow emitted from the sphere showing if there were any mystical threats they should be aware about. Cassandra remembered how the globe warned them of the alien invasion in 2012.
