The last couple of days consisted of lashing out at anyone who even tried to approach her.

Despite the worries of her family, she had no use for an assistant at her beck and call. She took care of her responsibilities on her own. Yes, she was in a wheelchair, but that made her no less capable than anyone else. Why wouldn't her family understand that?

Perhaps it was only a matter of time before you quit the job. Oh, she could only hope.

"Found me already?" she asked distastefully as the footsteps behind her approached. "Ah, and before you speak, you must refer to me as Lady Victoria."
