I was assured that that information would remain confidential back home." Alexander had long since got back to looking through some random paperwork that had been placed on his desk even before he'd arrived at work. He could see the Andrei man out of the corner of his eye, yet his attention was primarily on the paperwork.
He was just about to ask the man if he needed assistance finding his way out when the man spoke up and apologized. With his eyebrows raised, Alexander glanced up from his paperwork. "Mr. Andrei, you are employed as an Adviser to the highest ranked governmental official in wizarding London," he reminded him. "You can be rest assured that we've completed thorough background checks on you as well as every employee you've seen in our offices today." He paused before adding, "I'm sure there's a pretty thick file lying around here somewhere with my name on it, as well." Quote:

Well whatever. Someone was snippy. He needed some jelly slugs or something to cheer him up! "Of course not, I was simply wondering if this particular conversation was something you wanted to hold alone...no matter, though," he said with a polite smile. Kill them with kindness, that's what he'd always been taught! He'd just ignore the one...or ten...sarcastic comebacks his brain was currently thinking of.
He wandered over to his desk and opened his bag, quietly unpacking the picture frames he'd placed on top. He hoped they didn't think he was eavesdropping cause he totally wasn't...he reallly WAS concentrating that hard on where his engagement photo with Ginger was going to go on his desk.
He took decorating his office VERY seriously. Very seriously indeed. As he sat back in his chair and folded his hands together just in front of him, Alexander glanced at Reynolds out of the corner of his eye. He however said nothing, but if the new Junior Undersecretary dared to ever ask Alexander to step out the office for one reason or another, he'd have plenty to say then.
