From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

"I've got it," Anthea said, lifting her gaze from the notebook she was scribbling in, and headed towards the door. She made her way to open it and was greeted by the sight of Director Clement and Abbey standing beside him.

Anthea expressed her surprise, "Director Clement, Dr. Abbey!"

"Ms. Yeager, do you have a moment?" asked Director Clement.

Anthea nodded slightly, "Sure, come on in."

Little White, ever so observant, went to fetch some refreshments for the guests.

Anthea led Director Clement and Abbey into the living room, "I apologize for the simplicity of my home. Please, make yourselves comfortable." Director Clement took a moment to look around the living room.

It was indeed modestly decorated.

To think that a renowned healer and top scholar from Cloudcrest would choose to live in such simplicity!

What an embodiment of humility and detachment from worldly desires.

Given the Yeager family's current financial standing, moving into a mansion and hiring a team of servants would have been no issue at all!

Anthea then asked, "Director Clement, Dr. Abbey, what brings you here today?"
