 Cheesy Mac
Reagan nodded and replied, "He's a wonderful Minister who handles situations quite well." She didn't want her comment to sound too complimentary, so she tried to keep it as unemotional as possible without sounding insincere. She'd heard that Ms. Belle was a somewhat curious bordering on jealous woman and she didn't want to give her any ideas that she appreciated Minister Cooper as anything more than a boss and leader of the community. That would likely result in job loss, or at the very worst, having her name potentially smeared in the papers.
Getting to the wedding discussion, Reagan fought allowing her jaw to drop when Clara mentioned wanting to change the location of the ceremony. After all the work the liaisons had done, and all the work their departments were doing to prepare the site, EVERYTHING was going to have to be changed. She'd have to issue dozens of new memos and contact all the vendors. More work. Always more work. Despite the overwhelming sense of impending doom, Reagan controlled her emotions and replied as simply as possible, "It will be no trouble at all. I'll get the liaisons to immediately change the plans and contact their departments. If you want your wedding here, consider it done." Reagan made a note on her parchment and then asked, "So, will the wedding be held in the Atrium on Level Eight? The fountain would look lovely in the ceremony."
