The employees are top notch, but they've been without true leadership unfortunately. I've heard much about you, Ma'am." He gave her hand a polite shake.
"This is my wife, Lilyan Bole." Of course he had to introduce her. Everyone should know Lily. It was like he was doing the world a favour.
"So you've heard about me aswell? I guess you must be in with the Minister pretty close seeing as you, too are a Department Head." Very impressive. It was a good quality, to be well informed of others when you yourself were so important to the Ministry's productivity. Inez was definately impressed with Evander Bole.
She pretended to blush as he went on about her previous work.
"Oh now, don't act all impressed. My work with Porkeys and brooms at the German Ministry compares not to the taking down of a Cult here. You are quite the superstar I've heard, Mr. Bole." Inez raised her Champagne glass to the man and turned towards the woman at his side, his wife.
"Oh so sorry Lily, it's a pleasure to meet you too. You are very lucky you know." she said indicating her husband. Oh what it would be like to have actually gotten married to a man who was an upstanding citizen and cared about her.
"So do you work here in the Ministry as well?" she asked curiously, taking a sip from her flute.
