Estra was allowed to rest for a few more days before she received the recruitment notice. It was her choice whether she wanted to take it, of course, but Estra, who wanted to integrate as quickly as possible, didn't even think twice.
It had a very strict probationary period, however, and this was something that spread out especially among Alterra's well-off community. Several clubs, cliques, and groups of friends formed through time, and they also tended to hang around the same place, so it was fairly organic.
Anyway, at some point, Baron found out about Estra's recruitment. Like many, he was flabbergasted and confused, but then he saw the money-making opportunity.
He started a bet guessing when Estra was going to get fired. The two sides were just deciding whether or not she'd be able to go through the six-month probationary period, but Baron took a leap and added a bonus amount that she'd last less than a month!
