"And your job sounds very interesting to. Doing tasks for the Minister himself is quite the stress on you guys." She wouldn't think how she could handle "Lard Borr" since her disgusting encounter with him cleaning his toe nail clippings. It gave her shivers from those memories. Shaking the thought out of her head, she focused back on her two co-workers.
"Would you like me to grab a drink for you? What would you like?" She peered at the table that was set up filled with a variety of foods and drinks.
Just then, another new employee seemed to have headed to the break room. Yay! more new faces to get to know. Melanie's heart was racing to go and hug the young man, but she held herself back knowing that it would scare him silly. Instead, she walked over the him and took her hand out to greet him.
"Hello there, welcome to the party for the new and old employees of level 1! I'm Melanie Caperelli and you must be new here?" She grabbed his hand and shook it with excitement.
Stan stood at the edge of the party, not sure if he should join in a conversation or something. Then a woman approached him out of nowhere and was shaking his hand.
"Well hello Melenie, ah, um-" He hoped it wasn't clear that he hadn't heard her last name. He shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Stan Paris." He smiled when she asked if he was new. "Did I look that new?" he asked jokingly. "I am with the Cleaning Department. You are?"
Then he paused to hear the Ministers talk. He said in a low voice to Melenie "He's pretty impressive."
