 A Poop * k8 *
Lynley checked her watch. She told the minister she was coming 'round at about...2 o'clock, and it was 1:58 exactly. She hoped the man was prompt and on time, because nothing bothered the Transportation head more than.......
Lateness.
It was enough to get the formidable glare and a warning from the woman, and she didn't think she would hold back if the minister was later, either. Just because the man was higher up than her...technically, she supposed--she thought HE of all people should be on time.
And so, she knocked, softly, but raptly, and waited.
She met the man a few times. He was eccentric. Lynley was not a fan, but he made a good minister....thus far. How could she really complain? He hadn't mucked anything up quite yet. Quite an accomplishment. |
