 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
Nathan shrugged. “The noise is part of the appeal.” He said seriously. And then he smiled properly for the first time all morning. The smile lit up his face and touched his green eyes. The fatigue of a long sleepless night vanished momentarily. He was a handsome man under the bloodshot eyes and black bags below them. It was only a few words, but Nicoli’s response had been more than satisfactory.
Nathaniel noted the slight hesitation before Nicoli answered his question. He was hiding something, that was obvious …and probably none of Nathan’s business. All he wanted was to keep his head down, and get cracking with his work, he may even find he enjoyed it. Last thing he wanted was to cause trouble for, or with, his collegues. He sipped his coffee and nodded, keeping eye contact with Nicoli as he explained his move from Russia.
Nathan was actually starting to relax a bit. This Nicoli seemed like a decent enough bloke. “What did you do prior to this?” Nathan asked conversationally. “I mean, work wise.”
