Office boredom par 2

"At least I lasted longer than you, sister-in-law
When Felicia spoke, she looked triumphant, as if lasting longer in the office was a great achievement. John looked at the two women and laughed inwardly.
The two talked a little more for a while, then two pairs of eyes fixed on John's body, the two had different thoughts, Felicia smiled and said.
"John, now it's your turn, I want to see how long you will last, I hope you last a little longer than your mother.
John nodded unperturbed, he stood up and asked very calmly.
"Mom , can I go now?
Catarina nodded saying.
"You can go now, we're done for today.
Felicia arched her eyebrow, John was too calm, it wasn't what she expected, but that was also good, so Felicia would see this look and calm attitude turn into confusion, anger and despair, she then smiled and decided to ignore John's attitude.
John got up and slowly walked into the Castle, into the garden Felicia intended to follow John, when Catarina's voice reached her from behind.
"Sister-in-law, better not follow him, you might be surprised.
In Catarina's words, Felicia could detect a bit of playfulness, mystery, seriousness, and expectation. Felicia didn't take it seriously. Who could surprise her these days? At this point in her life, what hasn't she seen yet?
Catarina didn't move from the garden, she remained seated watching John walk away, Fernando's words echoed in her head, she smiled and no one knew what she was thinking.
When John arrived at the room, he asked a maid to call Iza, after all she was his secretary and he enjoyed the wolf girl's company.
Felicia had already reached John in the room, a small silhouette approached, Isa 's face blossomed into a beautiful smile when she saw John smiling at her, now Isa was wearing beautiful clothes, even though they were ordinary clothes she was still beautiful, she wore a short blue and white dress with long socks, her eyes were beautiful like the blue of the sky, her hair was very well combed.
Iza bowed to Felícia and greeted her, John looked at him, stroked his hair and asked.
"Iza, how are you? How are your mother and aunt?
Iza replied with a sparkle in her eyes.
"I'm fine, mom and aunt are fine too .
"That's good, what about your mother's illness?
Iza's expression changed a little, but it was only for a second, John noticed, she said still with childish joy.
"Mother is recovering, thanks to the potions, the illness has not affected her as usual, now she can walk, even if it is only for a short time, aunt and I have been taking very good care of mother.
Felicia gave a fake cough in response, John rolled his eyes and spoke in a soft voice.
"Iza, today we're going to spend the day at the office, I'm going to really need your help.
When Iza heard that John would need her help, she was happy, she was a maid assigned to serve John in the castle, this gave her a high status among the maids, but she did almost nothing to serve John
Felicia , again cleared her throat with a fake cough, she didn't want to see children dating in front of her, she just wanted to know how long John could last inside the office.
"Let's go
John headed to the office and Felicia followed her, Iza was right behind them both.
Ceto had been waiting for a while, when the three entered he greeted them , John sat in the most prestigious place, Fernando's place.
Fernando's office was large and could accommodate up to 10 people at a time. There were 6 chairs in the office, 2 were between the secretary and the other 4 were in the corner next to the bookshelves.
John settled down to feel comfortable, at only 7 years old he was very short, he asked Iza to bring some pillows that he piled on the lord's chair, it looked funny, but no one laughed.
John respected Ceto a lot, he saw him as if he were his uncle, he wanted to call Ceto uncle, but the latter refused, Ceto also liked John and saw him as a son, but Como was very humble and greatly respected the hierarchy imposed by the kingdom.
John looked at the pile of documents piled up on the table, she hadn't touched them yet, he asked Ceto to sit across from him, he asked.
"Ceto, with just one word, reports the current state of the territory.
Ceto didn't pay attention to John's question, he answered without even thinking.
"Young man, the current state of the territory is "decadent"
John nodded and remained silent, he picked up one of the documents and began to read, the office was silent, even a needle dropping could be heard.
An hour later John finished reading the first document, he read the same document several times, then he moved on to the next, the same process was recorded, one hour of reading for each document, after 6 hours John stood up and said
"Ceto, that's all for today, let's continue tomorrow.
Felicia and Ceto looked at each other, but they didn't understand anything, they both assumed he was joking or something like that, no one would take an hour to read just a single document.
John and Iza left leaving the two adults inside, after the meal John, Alex and Iza played for the rest of the day, both Felicia , Ceto and Catarina, the three paid attention to John's day.
The second day was the same, first John had theoretical magic classes in the morning, then he went to the office and read 6 more documents in a period of 6 hours, after the meal, he played with Iza and Alex.
On the third day, it was October 8th, this was John's birthday, on this day he did not have a birthday party or gifts, this is because due to the economic situation in the territory the birthday party was postponed to a later date in the future.
