Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 46: Chapter 24 A Peaceful Afternoon (Thanks to the lovely maid Mengmeng, the Alliance Hierarch)

The next morning, Hexia woke up, and she turned on the sunshine lamp on the windowsill, which shone into the room like daylight, exceptionally bright.

After getting up, she first took a quick shower, then lightly shook her hair, and countless water droplets condensed into crystals before falling onto her body, refreshing her. She then changed into a brand-new outfit, sat at the vanity, neatly tied her hair, and fastened a slightly oversized silk butterfly bow at the back of her head. After that, she stood up, went to the kitchen, and served herself some hot porridge.

After a simple breakfast, she grabbed her personal terminal, picked up her bag, walked to the doorway, and slipped into her snug leather shoes, gently tapping to allow her toes to press into the space at the front, then she lifted the heels and fastened the straps tightly.

Hexia then took another look at herself in the mirror next to her, and after replaceing no issues, she blinked.

"I'm heading out."

She said softly, then opened the door and walked out.

The corridors were as messy as ever, and Hexia stepped lightly through them, nimbly avoiding various puddles and debris as she quickly made her way towards the elevator.

Entering the spacious elevator with several familiar faces from the residential area, many greeted her.

"Hexia is up early today."

"Good morning, Hexia."

"Good morning, everyone." For the first time, Hexia responded instead of keeping silent as she had in the past.

Although she still wasn't used to it, there was a sense of fresh excitement and adventure.

"Hexia seems different today."

"Haha, it seems so." Her neighbors said, laughing.

The elevator ascended, and the screen inside broadcast recent news.

"The disturbance at the Sound of the Vast Sea Bathhouse last week has been resolved. According to the report from the chief police officer, the cause of the commotion was an accidental activation of an electronic pulse machine from a small company during transport. The ensuing panic and agitation among the residents led to considerable damage."

"The company responsible for the accident has guaranteed to cover the damages, and the operator of the Sound of the Vast Sea Bathhouse has accepted the compensation. Both parties have apologized to the guests present during the incident, offering each guest a 300 Federation Coins voucher as compensation for the fright... stay tuned for further updates."

"Elevator shaft G5184 was found damaged the day before yesterday, with numerous signs of a skirmish but no bodies. It's suspected to be the result of a clash between underground gangs because the area, located on the 72nd basement level, is rarely frequented, with mostly members of the underground gangs and unregistered persons operating in this gray zone."

"Due to the impact of the Southern Federation Star Domain Trade Center's commodity prices, experts predict a potential rise in industrial costs for the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain by 0.65% in the next half year, while exports appear to be weakening..."

"The much-anticipated immersive film 'Please Hold My Fingertips' will premiere at the beginning of May. The film tells the heart-wrenching story of lovers who were separated by the great war four hundred years ago, depicting their difficult choices during the conflict, their painful experiences, and ultimately their departure on a spaceship to a secluded paradise far from the chaos..."

The elevator stopped, the broadcast ceased, and the doors opened.

Hexia exited the elevator and continued on her way until she reached the base of Topstar Tower.

She entered the tower's elevator; the ground below gradually receded and soon the entire city slowly came into view from above. Shortly thereafter, Hexia arrived at the Dream of Glazed Glass floor.

Taking a deep breath to calm her slight unease, Hexia walked in.

It was still early, and the lobby was quiet. The artificial sky overhead began to show hints of golden dawn, tinting the clouds below with a soft gold.

Due to taking a few days off, today was technically Hexia's first official day at work.

Unfortunately, Belfeng and Andusia and other seniors were not yet present. After a short stroll, Hexia found the small circular chapel in the east corner, where the petite 'Deklabi' was feeding birds. She had golden curly hair and wore a white maid's dress.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Deklabi looked up.

"It's you, Hexia." Her voice was soft, devoid of surprise or dismay, but rather conveyed a sense of tranquility.

"You've arrived." After speaking, she stood up, pulled open a cabinet door on the wall, bent down to pull out a chair, and placed it by the table.

Seeing her struggle a bit, Hexia couldn't help wanting to assist, but Deklabi had already positioned the chair by the time she got close.

Sitting down, Hexia asked about what had happened during the days she was away.

"Sister Belfeng was very worried about you. She mentioned it to me several times, although, despite what she says, she still enjoys playing games every afternoon."

Quite true to character, Hexia thought to herself.

"I don't interact much with the others, so I don't really know." Deklabi shook her head; she didn't mingle much with the other maids and often stayed in her corner.

Seemingly no major issues, Hexia thought, feeling somewhat relieved, and they continued feeding the birds together.

Twenty minutes later, Hexia stood up to leave, mentioning she was going to change clothes.

"Here." Deklabi handed her a card.

"What's this?"

"It's my temporary access card. You can use it to go up to the employee lounge. Otherwise, you won't have a place to change."

"Just replace Belfeng or the manager when they arrive, and register with them. Normally, you can just use your wrist identity chip to trigger the access."

"Thank you." Taking the card, Hexia nodded in gratitude.

After changing upstairs, since she was alone today, she didn't have any seniors 'kindly' adding various accessories to her outfit.
