"Of course, I do," Celeste said to Angelos's question, "but this woman was asking for things like emotions and feelings, memories even in exchange for wishes," she said. "A job does not require an exchange of that sort."

"A job is a contract," Angelo pointed out. "In a job, you agree to give up your time in exchange for money. You don't have the option for getting wishes in return. While your description of events sounds like she got taken advantage of, that's something their guardian can sit down with them, and decide to cancel or not cancel the contract."
"I'm afraid I have to disagree with you, a job is not the same as selling a part of your soul," and that was how Celeste saw it. An emotion, feeling, or even memories were part, an essential part of a person.
"However, I will not take up more of your time, I do hope no child comes to harm for selling an emotion like empathy or regret in exchange for something they can't back out of or that hurts others as such a contract would never be broken probably because they lack that very needed emotion..." Celeste said calmly as she got to her feet.
"Good afternoon, Sargeant Genovese," Celeste said as she turned to leave.

She really wasn't following, was she?
"Contracts must be able to be broken with minors to be legal," he said. "And a guardian can force the breaking of their ward's contract if needed. But have a nice afternoon, Miss Forestier."
Angelo wasn't going to try and get her to stay, and as far as he was aware, everything was already handled.
