be the bre. Perfect, this needs to be PERFECT. After all, he was not Alexander's assistant for nothing. However, there was a problem, Derrick Vanderbilt seemed to not be smart enough to ASK how Alexander liked his coffee before hand. It's time to hold your breath, take a wild guess, and hope you get it right. He filled the coffee cup and decided he might not be the type for just black coffee alone so he plopped in a couple sugar cubes and swirled the liquid a few times. That should do it. Derrick carefully brought the coffee over to where Alexander is supposed to be seated when he enters and waited.
Now looking around, Derrick saw the Junior Under Secretary and decided he should offer his assistance to him as well. "Excuse me Mr. Reynolds sir, can I get you anything?" Derrick may not be this guy's personal assistant, but he might as well ask anyways.
Of course, Derrick would have asked the Minister himself if he would like anything but since he already barked orders then the question seemed pointless.
