Nolan was slightly taken aback, and had to stop himself from narrowing his eyes slightly at the senior undersecretary. Wasn't it OBVIOUS what he had meant? He KNEW he wasn't going to leave every time, he just wasn't sure if he should leave NOW cause they'd clearly started the conversation when he wasn't there so it could be very private...
Well
whatever. Someone was snippy. He needed some jelly slugs or something to cheer him up!
"Of course not, I was simply wondering if this particular conversation was something you wanted to hold alone...no matter, though," he said with a polite smile. Kill them with kindness, that's what he'd always been taught! He'd just ignore the one...or ten...sarcastic comebacks his brain was currently thinking of.
He wandered over to his desk and opened his bag, quietly unpacking the picture frames he'd placed on top. He hoped they didn't think he was eavesdropping cause he totally wasn't...he reallly WAS concentrating that hard on where his engagement photo with Ginger was going to go on his desk.
He took decorating his office VERY seriously. Very seriously indeed.
