~~~~~~~~~~~♔Chapter 29♔~~~~~~~~~~~

Chip and I exchanged a quick glance, I then awkwardly looked back at Chubby and said with a sheepish smile "Uh it's not what it looks like?"

"Was something–? Am I interrupting something?" Chubby says confusion plastered all over her face.

"No!" I respond a little too quickly as I can feel the heat crawling up my face. I wriggle out of Chip's grasp and stand back up on my own two feet.

Chubby's gaze falls down to my feet, "Why aren't you wearing any shoes?"

I was about to respond before Chip cut in "It's a long story and we're all busy people so let's cut to the chase, why are you here?" He pointed a finger at her. Chubby stiffened slightly and got somewhat quiet, which was... Weird to say the least.

"Just wanted to ask if Miracle's contract was ready." She was staring at the ground refusing eye contact with either of us.

"What a coincidence! We were just coming here to finalise the last details of the little goat kid's contract!"

I asked, "Why are you asking about her contract?"

Chubby got quiet again. "Just curious and wondering if I still have a chance to burn it, that way I don't have to officially work with that dumbass."

Chip chuckled slightly at Chubby's statement, I couldn't help but frown slightly, cover it up all you want, we all know why you actually want to burn that contract.

"If you want you can join us whilst Sashie here finishes it up!" Chip says grin and all.

"No thanks, I'll just... Go and get ready for my shift." Chubby turns to go and get ready, Chip ushers me into his office, I catch a final glimpse of Chubby and with that the office door closes shut.

☆Miracle's: POV☆

At around midnight I was called into Chip's office, Rainbow had come up to take me there, they didn't have to, but they said they wanted to be sure I got there. Somehow I had barely any energy left in me even though I had spent most of the day in bed sleeping. I tried looking presentable and Rainbow said I looked fine, didn't feel that way.

Once in Chip's office, I noticed that the other three were there as well. It felt like time slowed down as the chair behind the desk spun around to reveal the man of the hour himself.

"Miracle, so happy you could join us! Please take a seat." I did as I was told and pulled out the chair in front of the desk and promptly sat down in it. Six sheafs of paper neatly stapled together were pushed towards me alongside a fountain pen which was slightly leaking with golden coloured ink.

"Just sign on the dotted line and this partnership can officially begin. You can finally, truely be a part of this family, the sixth flower." Chip smiled, yet his stare was menacing as ever.

I picked up the pen and started signing my name. First sheet, I could see from my peripheral vision them frowning slightly but they managed to remain mostly stone faced. Second sheet, I could hear the tapping of Jaza's nails against a small wooden table. Third sheet, I could feel Chubby's gaze burning through the back of my head. Fourth sheet, I heard Sash hold her breath. Fifth sheet, Chip's smile widened even more and his eyes became slits. Sixth sheet, slowly the pen descended towards the dotted line, the final sheet, both came in contact with one another.

"Go on, just sign it." I heard Chip say his voice barely above a whisper.

The anticipation in the room was unreal and I just kept staring at this dotted line. Just as I was about to write my name I heard a voice... Chubby's 'Chip's sneaky with his contracts, often finding loopholes. He'll say one thing but, the contract may contradict his statement completely and if you try to argue with him about it he'll just tell you that you should have read the fine print.'
