But in the end she decided to go because it would be good to get out. Not to mention if she DIDN'T attend, then she shuttered to think of how that would look during work. Isobel might make her do all the 'dirty work'. Or something. Inter-office politics.
Upon entering the Dorchester Hotel, Alexandria smiled nervously at the other guests. No one she knew yet. And definitely no one from her department, yet. This was a mistake, she thought vigorously, as she took a seat near the back. At least she was dressed appropriately . . . ? Quote:

He looks around and sees a face he does know. Its Alexandria from the Department and she was new like him. He walks over to her and sits down next to her. "Hey Alexandria. Can you believe we both got invitations and we have only been working for Isobel a few short weeks?."
Sherman wheeled into the Dorchester Hotel and nearly gasped with surprise. Well, he was attending a wedding. He should have known that it was going to be fancy. Right? He had dressed up in a suit and polished his wheelchair especially for the occasion. Even though he had only known Isobel for a few short weeks, it was his duty to Ms. New Head to go. After all, she was one of the best Heads that Mysteries ever had. He felt obligated to come.
Even though he knew that there would be a LOT of women here.
Sherman adjusted his tie as he wheeled further into the large hotel. As he passed by, he noticed there were quite a few MLE employees here. MLErs scared him; but then again, who didn't? Instead of trying to meet new people, the elderly man instinctively wheeled over to the corner where two new recruits from his Department, Alexandria and Demetrius, were chatting away. So. He just sat there and nodded at whatever they were talking about, hoping that people wouldn't notice that he had just joined the conversation.
Nod.
What now?
