Waiting for Althea to return to her seat, Angela took a deep breath, "Good morning." she said with a smile and looking straight at her boss, who actually seemed to be in quite a good mood. Someone had enjoyed their break, it seemed. "Had a good break, I suppose?" Angela asked her. She herself had been almost bored, and had been itching to get back to work.

Anyways, back to work. "So.. Is this about the liaison application that I had sent in earlier?" Yep, straight to the point was how she liked. And plus, there wasn't any other reason for being called by the department head, was there?

"I did actually." She paused as if she was about to say more but then simply smiled to herself. Well, she HAD had a good break, her and Dash had spent the time together, with Kyroh, and at various points, with various members of their respective families. That part had been less fun, but... well, she'd been with Dash.

So it had been good indeed.

"Yes, it is." She looked from Angela over to Gabriela and smiled again, like she found something amusing.

Well, bring it ON Angela, she thought to herself with a small smirk. My resume HAS to outshine hers. It outshines almost everyone!

"Actually, Althea, that was what I came to speak to you about as well," she said with a nod. "I saw that you were looking for someone and came to inquire about it. I'm glad to see it's sparking interest across the level," she said, nodding at Angela with a small smile.

"Mmmm as am I." Althea said whimsically. She WAS glad that there was interest.

They didn't need to know yet that she actually wanted BOTH of them. No, they could.... duke it out a bit. It would be entertaining AND test their mettle.

She was about to speak again when a memo came through....

Althea barely let it come to rest in front of her, rather she snatched the thing neatly and with an apologetic smile at the other women, unfolded the plane and scanned it.

Mmm.

Right. 1pm. She put the memo aside and made a mental note to go grab Derek at some point in the next hour or so, and ensure he cleared his lunch hour AND his afternoon. He WOULD be going with her. Yes he would.

... right, where was she? Oh yes. Liaisons.

She cleared her throat and looked between the two women.

"So, if you both wouldn't mind," Smile, "Perhaps you'd humour me with a few words on why you think you are the best candidate for the liaison role."
