 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
From across in that dark corner of the room, his were feet proped up on the desk again. Nathan had just taken a large drink of coffee. The contents of which were almost sprayed across the room on hearing the two women address Nicoli as ‘Head of Department.’ He tried to compose himself, quickly swallowing the contents of his mouth, but spluttered a little in the process. Had this been some kind of test? If so, Nathan had surely failed it with flying colours! How stupid could he get? Nathan was normally quick witted. Lack of sleep, among other things, were surely to blame. He gave Amelia a quizzical look before looking back in the direction of Nicoli.
“M-Mr Vanhatck.” He started hesitantly. “Forgive me sir. I just assumed you were, well" How to put this.. "one of us, sir.” He sat up straight in his chair, placing his feet firmly on the floor and dropped his bacon buttie into the wastepaper bin beside his desk. ‘Way to go, mate. Brilliant performance that was.’ He cringed inwardly. He needed to get through today as quickly as possible, and go home and have a good nights sleep. Hopefully he could start afresh tomorrow. Hopefully.
