"No, sir. I am just here to reinstate my position as the Junior Undersecretary, sir" he said in a very polite tone.
Albert paused a moment to allow the man to introduce himself properly, but when it didn't happen, he gave Warfield a
look. Teach your man proper etiquette promptly, sir.
"I'm pleased to meet you. Come into my office later and we'll have a proper introduction."

"I'll need you to double check with our Liaison here, make sure they're getting a list of the Liaisons from the Other Departments, I updated our list the best I could, but there are a few missing. Assist them with this matter while I'm away. Leave me the list on my table." Warfield pointed over to the round table that held pretty much everything else in his office.
Mr.Minister! Oh he had hoped to see the man before at the little get-together. It had seemed he was in deep discussion with the former though. Good to have him pop his head into the office. though what was with that serious look. "Ah, must of slipped past me when I was installing that dang Muggle Safe into the old desk. Entirely cramped in that small space, hard to charm it too, could barely reach my wand. Thought I'd have to call for help if I hadn't managed to squeeze out." He won't be going under that desk for a long time now. "Roxanne, yes she's very feisty if you ask me. I'm sure if I stopped her before entering your office, I'd have lost my fingers, or toes. Both maybe." Warfield had seen her in debates. "Deduct her pay for a week, I'll get to Human Resources and inform them right away." Oh looks like he'll have to cross wands figuratively with Roxanne after all. Could make for an interesting re-introduction. "If I may speak with you in a moment as well, just making sure Zack here is all set. Pleasure to finally meet you."
"I'm not really interested in how she got by you. You cannot monitor this office all the time, and proper etiquette must be maintained. If we don't have decorum, we're not better than a garden slug on the primrose path. Perhaps we need to send out a memo detailing etiquette? And we can detail changes to the dress code that we plan to enforce in that as well." He was prepared to disappear back into his office but paused a moment longer.
"You can step into my office once you've finished with Zack. I also want to see one of the secretaries promptly, so please send one to my office. I have a letter to draft, and I want to give her some projects I need carried out in my name. Trifling things you needn't worry about."
