 ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
João WAS punctual--10 minutes before the meeting, to be exact. This was the first meeting ever, and he knew people conversed before meetings. As it was the first one, he was going to have a small chat with the new Senior Undersecretary and other employees that might have arrived early too. Impression was everything in politics, and he was going there to impress them.
Knocking once on the door, he stepped in just in time to hear the lady's name. His black suit's jacket was buttoned, it was neatly ironed and not even one piece of dust could be seen. His hair was combed heatly--seperated from the middle to both sides--and he had shaved that morning.
"Good morning," he greeted them kindly and walked to them. "João Neves." Once they were done shaking hands, he offered his hand first to the man, then to lady and smiled at both of them politely. |
