Engfa quietly stepped out of the room, leaving Char asleep on the bed. She closed the door behind her silently, not wanting to wake her up.

She pulled out her phone, dialing Max's number. As she waited for him to answer, she leaned against the wall, taking a moment to gather her thoughts.

After a ring or two, the call was answered. "Boss," a deep, familiar voice came from the other end. "What can I do for you?"

Engfa gave a low hum, settling into a comfortable position against the wall. "Max," she began, her voice a low murmur so as not to disturb Char. "I need to make sure everything is running smoothly while Char and I are on our little vacation."

There was a pause from Max's end before he replied. "Of course, Boss. I have everything under control here. Just enjoying some peace and quiet without your orders."

Engfa chuckled, a hint of amusement in her voice. "Watch that tongue, Max," she warned. "You know I can still kick your ass from here, even if I'm on vacation."

There was a brief pause again, and Engfa could almost hear the grin in Max's voice when he spoke. "Ah, sorry, Boss. It's just been so peaceful around here, I thought I'd poke a bit of fun at you while I can get away with it." Engfa rolled her eyes at her trusted man.

However, in a flash, her tone grew serious, her voice brooking no argument. "Listen here, Max," she said, her voice firm. "The only reason I want to be disturbed is if it's a real emergency, something you absolutely cannot handle without me. Like, end-of-the-world, life-threatening kind of emergency. Not some stupid petty crap that you can handle yourself. Otherwise, I don't want to hear a single squeak from you. Got it?"

Max chuckled on the other end. "Trust me, Boss, we all value our lives here, and we know better than to bother you when it's not necessary. We'll handle it. You and Miss Charlotte just enjoy your time together."

Engfa was just about to say something in response to Max when she heard a sudden shout from the other room. Her head snapped up, recognizing immediately that it was Charlotte's voice.

"FA! ENGFAAA! FAAA!"

Engfa's heart rate immediately spiked, her mind going into protective mode. She quickly ended the call with Max. "Gotta go."

She immediately turned and sprinted back to the room, her mind racing with possible worst-case scenarios.

Engfa rushed into the room, heart pounding, expecting to find some kind of emergency.

But instead, she found Char on the floor, glaring at her, her legs visibly shaking, struggling to stand up.

A smirk involuntarily curled up into Engfa's lips as she saw the sight.

"Ah, princess," she drawled, her voice infused with a hint of amusement. "Having a little trouble standing up, are we?"

Charlotte continued to glare at Engfa, pouting up from her position on the floor. She tried to stand up, her legs shakier than she anticipated, and ended up falling back down.

Engfa snickered at Char's glare, her smirk growing even wider. She approached Char, her steps confident and cocky.

"Come on, princess," she taunted, arms crossed over her chest. "Is that the best you can do? A glare and a pout?"

Char's hand shot out, smacking weakly at Engfa's legs. Engfa just chuckled, her smirk never leaving her face. She didn't even bother trying to dodge or block Char's petulant attacks. "Now, princess, is that any way to behave towards the woman that just made you unable to walk?"
