The charm was a good idea, but they may want consent first before putting on anything they do not want. Now on to the food and drinks portion of the food court. That seemed like the most important part of building a new food court.
"I believe we should recruit some people to do a short survey so we know exactly what the employees prefer to eat and drink." Melanie nodded at her own suggestion. She wasn't going to make any food decisions for the food court. At home, she was always a poor cook and seemed to always catch everything on fire even with her superb magic. House jobs were never a thing for Melanie.
Her eyes then widened as Ruby's eyes widened and she literally spewed her drink all over the floor while almost dropping the delicate bottle as well. That creepy woman in the behind them was scaring all the people in the meeting room.
For while Ruby bent under the desk to clean said spilled juice,her nerves were threatening to strike her. WHHHHHHHHHHYYY OHHH WHYYYYYYYY MUST HER JUICE BE THREATENED... Gulping in hopes to save her tears, she was the new head for goodness sakes. Silently she mourned the spilled juice that was on the floor as she used her wand to conjure it up nice and clean.
Ahem. She had to blink once again to fully register what just went on.. Oh yes, the House Elves attire. Nodding in agreement, though she really didn't see the big deal on having them look nice for everyone. But oh well, perhaps there should be another voice on this. But her idea on the survey was fantastic though. "An e-excellent suggestion!" Ruby nodded before turning tentatively to the fiery banshee woman that had threatened Ruby's beloved juice. Quote:

They did completely ignore her. She changed her hair back once again. Becky had calmed down a little, so it remained blonde. The eyes, they should just get used to, 'cause she wasn't going to change them. It made her look like a snake. Epic. Good look. Sort of. Maybe.
Now she had to repeat herself. She resisted the urge to say 'No problem'. "My name is Becky Patterson, personal assistant to the Minister. I am here to take notes on the new Food Court to present to Mr. Greingoth." She tried to remain calm while saying it. At least she had their attention. Which they didn't have much of. That was good. Becky smirked again. Hehehe.
She was.. smiling?! Smiling?! That juice wasn't free dear lady! Ruby blinked furiously in effort not to shed tears. No, no. The juice had been mourned and Ruby was moving on! Yes. Listening to her introduction, she wondered how long she had been sitting there beforehand.. But no matter! Ruby shuffled her papers back into her hands regaining her ahem, professional look. "Wel-Welcome dear Patterson.." She mentioned being the personal assistant to the Minister.. Well, bless her heart for her position. This could be a good use, and with that Ruby had an idea since she was closer to the other upper ranks.. But it appeared someone else had shared the same thought before the words could leave her mouth. Quote:

Well..all the items that we have been discussing during this meeting you may write down." She smiled nervously and twirled with her chocolate brown hair to calm herself down. "We may be doing a survey for all the employees in the ministry to see what different foods they prefer." She kept twirling her hair until it became wavy down her back. "You can also tell your boss about the possible hiring of house elves since we will need workers in the kitchen. They are cheaper to hire. You may ask him to consider these options..and that is all so far."
She gave a small smile to the woman. She was actually quite pretty with her blonde hair, but her eyes were still bright red which still gave Melanie goosebumps along her arms.
Closing her lips, almost resembling a fish, Ruby gave a nod of approval. "A splendid thought, let us also ask for the possibilities for adding.." Then Ruby's eyes twinkled in excitement. "A music box." Who wouldn't enjoy some nice music playing while they dined? Ruby awaited for the others ideas. |
