Louis Proposed

Alicia hopped off Louis's lap and suddenly looked real serious. "Tell me," she said.

"So, the Elysium National Museum had a fire recently and lost lots of old paintings. They want our help, and you're the one for the job."

"We have a deal with them. We fix their stuff, they lend us some for our place."

Ru Shun was a big help to Alicia before. So, it was tough for her to say no. "Sure thing. When do we go?"

"As soon as we can. Let's say the day after tomorrow."

"I'm still busy with a project here in California. Can we push it back a bit?"

"Nope. Once you're done, our museum will give you a special thank you note and a nice bonus."

"Okay, I'll talk it over with Mr. Boyer tomorrow."

Ru Shun was eager to lock this in. "Great, it's a deal. You're the boss of the team."

Alicia was shocked. "I'm the youngest, why am I in charge?"
