"I am great, thanks. J.J. Doing pretty much the usual stuff around here... and not getting the raise I deserve for a long time." she narrowed her eyes slightly in her boss' direction, also letting him know in the same gesture she was kidding. "Awww... The poor life of a Ministry worker, right, my dearest colleagues and ex-colleague?" Thankfully Jake was the only one there wo knew just how big her gringott's account was... It wasn't very small.

Lucy nodded, confirming J.J.'s words.
"I went to visit Samantha a while ago. She seems to really like her new position... I mean, her job in the Ministry always meant a great deal to her and I'm just glad she still loves the job." she commented affer J.J. made a reference to his friendship with Samantha. She smiled thinking about her former boss; Samantha was a truly good person who only wanted the best for everybody around her. Older and wiser, she had been a support for Luce. She still was.

She raised her eyebrows slightly:
"When? I do a little travelling on my free time, so.. I've recently been to Ireland and France, but before I start working here, I was living far away under another identity." she corrected him kindly, trying to figure out what his words meant.
"Sure, Danielle. From what I can tell, you have great comunications skills." Aww, new workers were just like firsties. Always fun to watch.
