Just...um...recopy this for me." Ivan thrust the ruined report towards Katya.

That's when he noticed Jason watching them. Or, more precisely, watching Katya. Ivan rolled his eyes. Office romance, no doubt. If they got too obvious he'd have to 'talk' to them. He hated that - could never think of anything good to say except 'it's just a bad idea.' Not, his conscience noted that this had ever stopped Ivan. But, hey, that was back before he'd been the boss, right?

"Oh. Uh. Okay then." Ivan blinked. A new person? They sent him a new person? He wasn't expecting it...unless... His eyes darted to the pile of unopened, unread notices sitting by a glowing remembrall. Well...darn.

"Um...why don't you take a desk then..." he looked about. There was a lone slightly damaged, empty desk pushed up against the far corner. "That one. And then get me a copy of your vitae." He motioned off and then realized his other staff were staring at the new girl, too. "Jason, Katya, why don't you welcome --" Whatshername? "..the new girl-- er, woman -- person. Person." Stupid political-correctness police and their verbage rules.

"I'm getting a headache," he muttered to himself, rubbing his temple.

Ivan's head jerked up and the pain in his temple spiked. Nothing like having one's boss sneak up on one unexpectedly to set the heart-rate running!

"Hullo, Ma'am. Yes, Ma'am. Feeling better, Ma'am?" Ivan rose to his feet, sensing a potentially awkward tete-a-tete ahead. "There's a...a...closet-like storage place in the back." Ivan gestured towards a door, stepping out from his desk to lead the way. He purposefully avoided looking at any of his staff. No doubt there'd be questions later.

He opened the closet/storage door for Madeline. "I apologize for the size...and, er, mess. It really is the only place. But please don't mind the rat traps - they're for my flat. I just keep forgetting to bring them home."

Okkkk...not exactly what Maddie had had in mind, but oh well, it would do. She walked into the closet and managed to squeeze herself into the furthest corner--the further away, the less chance that any eavesdropping employees could overhear some of the embarrassing apologies she was about to make. She turned around, waiting for him to come inside with her.

Great, now I'm going to known around the Ministry as the Head who locked herself in a closet with her employee. How lovely!
