"Mmmm. I'm quite sure your.... social aptitude would be beneficial to the role." Althea agreed blandly, looking between the two women. She was about to say more but...

... arrival.

She couldn't actually stop the genuine smile from flooding her face, though she did school it somewhat at the question.

"You are, actually. Unlike some people, I have work to do every morning." Still, her words lacked the acid they might have carried in the past, or to anyone else.

"I'll be right with you." She held up one finger and then pointed over at the couch. He knew that couch. He should be well comfortable waiting there.

When she turned her attention back to Gabi and Angela, it was clear that she was anxious for them to leave, even if she was trying to hide it and carry on professionally. Ahem.

"I'd like to offer BOTH of you positions as department liaison. We're a large department, and our work has us interacting with every other level. That's quite the workload. We'll have to talk about how best to divide that up, and I'd like for the two of you to discuss how to implement a more efficient liaison relationship with other departments. The role offers an additional 200 Galleons a month on top of your current rates, by the way, with room for bonuses for outstanding work." She glanced over at Dash, hid another smile and then more sternly returned her attention to the women.

"Gabi, I have another task for you actually: Your division has a new assistant, Cora Greenwell. I'd like for you to take her under your wing, show her the ropes, help her figure out if she wants to aim for Research or Development in the future, give her some tasks. Mentor her, basically."

Paaause.

"And Angela, today at some point, if you wouldn't mind, please send a memo to Mr Amoroso and let him know that you and Gabriela are available as DMAC's liaisons. I'll leave the rest up to the two of you, and have the contracts on your desks by five pm." So she'd do that as soon as she was done with the meeting later on. Sigh.

AHA! She was very qualified, Althea had said it herself. That had to mean she was a shoe in for the job, right? She smirked to herself and listened to Angela's pitch...well, not really, she was too busy trying to decide what new clothes she'd buy with her raise.

Then, suddenly, she heard Thea begin to speak again and she was...giving them BOTH the position? Well, um...ok. Gabi could work with someone else, she supposed. If she HAD to. Angela was nice enough, they could get along. Yes. This was good. Either way, Gabi got a promotion and a raise! YAYYY!

"Thank you so much, I promise you we won't let you down!" Gabi said with a smile. "I look forward to receive the contracts later. And I'll get right on--"

She stopped abruptly when a man RUDELY interrupted the conversation by Floo-ing right in to the office. What sort of manners were those?? Gabi glared at the man when he suggested they fight to to the death for the position...someone thought he was soooooo clever, didn't he? She sighed and turned back to her previous sentence.

"As I was saying, I'll talk to Cora later and begin showing her around after lunch," Gabi replied. As she spoke her stomach growled very loudly...gah, how embarrassing! Not wanting to stick around to hear what Mr. Jokster over there had to say about that, she smiled politely at everyone and stood up to make her exit.

"Good day, everyone, and thank you again Althea!" she said with a smile before taking her leave of the office.
