"Lunch at 12?" she asked, more out of confirmation than a question. "Has anyone told you how handsome you look today?" Besides her of course, about half a dozen times.
But then she overheard two people in the reception area. Time to be professional now, because the last thing she wanted was for one of them to get fired for inappropriate workplace conduct. Oooh and did she hear right?!? "Pem? You're our new hire!" Their only one as far as she heard anyway. Dropping Cole's hand, she reached her hand out to Pem. "Alexandria Hadley. Climate controller with the Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection. Have you got your job position yet? Anyone show you around the department?" Because she'd do it, if the girl wanted. It was if someone could read her mind and sent someone in her direction that already knew her name and was nice and kind but not over the top cheery and excited. "I am!" Pem nodded with a smile. She shook the woman's hand and almost introduced herself when she remembered that the woman already knew her. Apparently this one was a returning employee and knew....everything? "Nice to meet you Alexandria." Why couldn't Pem have had a normal sounding name like Alexandria? "Environmental Permitting Officer, if I recall correctly." Lots of syllables to remember. Surely she could shorten it to something easier to spit out in a conversation. "I just arrived, so I've gotten familiar with the lift and the reception area." Pem shook her head at the woman's last question. SPOILER!!: William Quote:

"Heh," he chuckled, "Harmony should have put in your welcome letter that I'm this floor's official greeter." Not really, but sometimes it felt like he was the only one who showed up to work. "I've been here three... going on four years now?" Wow, had it really been that long? He supposed he wasn't missing Romania as much anymore...
They could chat more while Tanc set up his new desk though. William paused on the way out of reception to get a good look at the other newbies here, some of which might be new COWORKERS for him!
"Uhhhh, hi," William had to blink to take in the new girl. Was she even old enough to work here? "I'm William Williamson, Creatures." He offered a quick handshake to each of them. "I'll be in those cubicles over there," he thumbed over his shoulder toward the CREATURE ones the better side of this floor, obviously, "if either of you needs help finding anything....?"
There, he'd been nice and offered.
"Hey Hadley," he waved at the NOT so new girl, even though she worked on the other side of the floor. Thennnnn he moved to the cubicles for reals. One of the guys was talking to her now. "Hello, William." Pem greeted him with a handshake. She nodded her head and made a mental note if she needed finding something to find William. But she probably wouldn't because she liked playing hide and seek, she'd find things on her own. "Thanks." She added on before he left them.
