While Steven and Chloe talked, Julia called Nate.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hey. So... Have you figured out who Chloe is?" Julia asked, semi-nervous to hear the answer in case she had to let Chloe go to some far away home.
Nate nodded on his end of the line. "Yep... So apparently, her parents sold her to some shady people or something because powers and they were transporting her to a buyer when the plane crashed. So, if you want, she's all yours, Julia."
Julia frowned, but also was relieved she could keep the cute little girl. "That's so horrible! And I'll be her guardian for now... I'll wait until Steven and I get married before I adopt her."
Nate chuckled. "Are you even engaged yet?"
"Technically, no... But he said we'd get married soon on New Years, so..." Julia shrugged. "I'm waiting."
Nate laughed. "Well, good luck with that. And I'll have it arranged so you'll be her guardian. I believe the technically heir to the crown should have a good enough background in her background check to become a guardian..."
Julia laughed. "Fingers crossed."
"Yep," Nate agreed, smiling as he began typing the email. "Well, I'll let you get back to it. And thanks for saving her... I couldn't speak in the company's place to get her out of there."
"Of course! Also, don't worry. Chloe has much warmer clothes now," Julia said. "Anyways, I have so much to do... Talk to you later. Thanks!"
"Bye Julia," Nate said, hanging up.
Julia went back to working.
