Chapter 491: Governor’s office, how may I help you?

As soon as the news went around that Scarlet had finally appeared in public again, the governor’s building and castle were crowded with all sorts of officials and citizens in different capacities who came with various requests.

Precious and Fey were overwhelmed with all the "No, she is not in." responses they had to give.

It was as if everyone had held back their needs and waited for Scarlet to make an appearance. Did those people not know that Esong and Emmett could assist them?

Her office was like a call center this morning with Precious and Fey serving as the call takers filtering out the needful, urgent and foolish.

"Governor’s office, how can I help you today?"

[My marriage license was denied one week ago and I need the governor to explain why.]

"Please contact the civil service bureau, the governor does not handle marriages. Thank you for contacting the governor’s office."

Fey was the one who received the call and she hung up on the man quickly.

"Governor’s office, how may I help you today?"

[I live near the pet park and my food keeps disappearing. I am sure that something from there is stealing it. Can the governor shift the park to another city?]

"Please contact pet control, the governor does not handle pet food theft. Thank you for contacting the governor’s office."

Precious giggled after hanging up on that individual and she shook her head in disbelief.

"Governor’s office, how many I help you today?"

[The governor has done a cooking broadcast all week? What the hell is she doing? This is irresponsibility of the highest level. Do you know how much I spend on the gifts I squander on her?]

"Please calm down and lower your voice. For your information the live broadcasts are done at the governor’s convenience, not yours."

While Fey had asked the caller to lower her voice, she was raising hers.

"Calm down." Precious whispered to her.

They were supposed to be cool headed and polite because Scarlet for some reason decided that all calls must be recorded.

Fey took a deep breath and said, "The governor has other duties and she can only broadcast in her personal time. I recommend that you exercise some patience. Thank you for contacting the governor’s office."

After hanging up, Fey groaned and looked up at the ceiling.

"We need to hire more secretaries, it’s a nightmare filtering the real calls from the nuisance ones."

"I know." Precious replied.

Her mouth was perched from all the talking she had to do. She was only thankful that the guards had locked the entrances to the building one every floor and saying no to all guests.

They both sighed and went back to it because the red lights on the terminals were still blinking, meaning more calls were coming through.

"Governor’s office, how may I help you?" Fey said in a bored voice.

This call turned out to be quite weird. First, there was some shallow breathing on the other end of the line and silence.

"I am hanging up now. Thank you....."

"Tell that bitch I know it was her and I am coming to get her." A menacing voice said and hung up.

Fey blinked and looked at the terminal. It was not the first time Scarlet was being threatened by an unhappy citizen from the Sun star for one reason or the other and most were ignorable but this one sounded quite chilling.

Normal threats were by unhappy people who had been denied citizenship or being evicted for some reason. Others thought the pets were too loud.

Some disliked her education policies and others thought it was unfair that the Blue star had food while their planets did not.

Nobody had ever called Scarlet a bitch though, this was the first.

"Alex, initiate a trace of this phone call and send it to the governor’s security team."

Precious hung up on her caller and looked at a worried Fey.

"What’s wrong?" she asked worriedly.

"Another threat, well, the first of this kind but it’s a creepy one." Fey answered.

Precious rubbed Fey’s arm and laughed lightly.

"What are you worried about? My father will handle it."

Tion, her father had handled many of those who threatened the governor especially here on the Blue star. This would be no different.

Fey hoped that it would be as simple as the usual ones and she went back to answering calls.

"Governor’s office, how may I help you?"

[There is a crack in my wall and I am sure that it will bring the entire building down.]

"Have you contacted the city buildings inspection authority?"

[Why should I contact them when we have a governor? Just get her on the phone so that she can deal with this nuisance.]

Because asshole, the inspection authority was formed for a reason you dumbass, this exact reason to be precise. It was their job for crying out loud. Did they want Scarlet to build the buildings and maintain them herself? Fey thought.

"Are you currently in that building?"

[Yes.]

The woman on the other end answered. She sounded irritated even more than Fey.

"I am tracing your location right now and forwarding your complaint to the building inspection authority and the fire department. They will contact you and handle the issue. Thank you for calling the governor’s office."

Fey stood up, stretched her arms and did some squats. When she was done, she picked up her phone and called her sister.

Scarlet answered immediately, a hologram call that allowed Fey to see her sister having fun playing in the pet park.

"I have never wanted to strangle you so badly than I do right now." she said in an exasperated voice.

"Someone is in a bad mood. What’s making the sweet Fifi sour today?" Scarlet replied.

She licked her ice cream and her lips.

"You!!! you my air headed sister." Fey poked at Scarlet’s forehead on the hologram.

"What did I do?" Scarlet answered defensively.

"You decided to appear in public and now we are being bombarded with all sorts of calls from whiny citizens. Boo-hoo-hoo, the governor has not done a live broadcast all week. I should be on a date right now, not listening to such complaints on a perfectly warm day. I should be enjoying ice cream like you." Fey complained.

"Then leave the office, I didn’t tell you to go in and you work for me personally. If I am not in, the office is closed for work especially on a weekend." Scarlet replied. "Ooh, I gotta go, Justin has somehow managed to get himself stuck in a tree."

She hung abruptly and Fey was left scowling at the phone.

"Well, you heard the boss woman. if she is not in, the office is closed for work."

She looked out and said, "Alex, switch off every terminal and put in place security protocols."

She turned her head to Precious who was packing up slowly and said, "Let’s go slow poke. Fun awaits us."
