Holstering her purse Livia shook her head "No I don't think so. Everything is in order so I shall go and take care of some other waiting errands."
Turning on her heel the redhead called over her shoulder. "Have nice day!" before she proceeded out of the ministry and into muggle London.
Victoria smiled to the woman and leaned back on her seat as the manager worked on the galleons back to the purse, "I'm glad you see the reason behind it," She said, "It is important that you-managers understand what the fee is for," And Victoria understood that very well too. It was her job to explain as well. He job and her colleagues.
"You too, Miss Frost," She called over as the woman headed towards the exit. Text Cut: Luna Midnight Quote:

"Of course, let me get it." She had brought the money, who ever didn't was just forgetful. Which was not a good quality. Picking up her purse she reached in and pulled out the red money bag with Roxanne Carter labeled on it. She opened it to see if the money was still in there before handing it over to the woman.
The woman didn't forget the money. That was a relief and to be honest, Victoria doubted that a manager would forget such important piece of information. To be a manager they needed to be organized. So no forgetting a fee or anything else.
Accepting the money from the manager, Victoria smiled and placed the bag of galleons along with the other ones. Wow, she had lots of money in this drawer, "Thank you very much," the blond said. "That's it. Miss Carter is now signed up on the ballots." Victoria knew Roxanne quite well. "Tell her Victoria said hi," She added.
"Have a nice day," She nodded at the manager. Text Cut: Chandler Montgomery Quote:

He knew he was interested, as would be Ivy.
Did he have doubts about how the money was going to be used? "Well I didn't have any doubts but I sure do now." He looked at the woman with a raised eyebrow of his own. "Why don't you tell me exactly what this large amount of money will be used for?" He asked as he waved the bag of money in front of her face. "Miss Knox does have a right to know what it is her money is being used for." As did all the other candidates.
Whatever this man was thinking, Victoria knew it wasn't good seeing his reaction. It's really been a long day and yet the blond needed to remain patient and smiling. Though her smile had fallen but she still contained her temper. She rarely lost it since she's been working as a front desk secretary for more than four years now. She was more than used to curious and people who asked a lot. And in this case, Victoria knew she had to answer the man's question, he had the right to know indeed. And she too had the answer.
Forcing her eyebrows to not shoot up too much, she tried a faint smile making sure not to make a scene. The other managers better pay without being alerted. But to answer the man, "Mister Montgomery, I assure you that there is no need to have any doubt," She started. "And of course you and Miss Knox have the right to know as well as the other managers and candidates," She nodded. "You see the elections need to be funded. And the money is used to offset the expenses of those elections," she said repeating the exact same words that's been used in the meeting where the Board of Electors, she and her colleagues, discussed everything.
"I hope that reason is satisfying," She said glancing at the bag of money. No money, no name on the ballots, curious man. So gimme the money. Text Cut: Honora Aveleen O'Fay Quote:

Yes, yes, she was here for the ballots, like everyone else in line. "Easy as pie." Honora's cheeks puffed out a little at the mention of the money, but she quickly filled out the paperwork before fishing around for the bag of coins in her purse. Merlin knew, she put it in there this morning.
"AHA! Found it!" Taking out the purple bag, obviously weighed down from the looks of it and jingling quite a merry tune itself, she plopped it on the table with a smile. She had it. All 100 ridiculous galleons of it.
Waiting for the woman to fill the form, with a smile on her face, Victoria rearranged the pile of forms that got formed. Also she put the scattering quills on the table as the manager was fishing the bag of galleons. Yay, this one ,too, was going to pay without asking. Though if she asked, Victoria would delightedly answer.
Taking the form, checking the names then adding it to the other forms, Victoria worked in a fast motion as this routine had been rewinding itself. The money went into the drawer. "Thank you Miss O'Fay. Mister Vanderbilt is now registered on the ballots," She said. "Anything else I can do for you?" Answering questions for example.

The possibility that the memories of the people here were that bad, that they wouldn’t remember him was rather amusing. Useful, as well, and it gave him a certain sense of accomplishment just waltzing in here without question. Along with the fact his charm still worked, as the grin the woman behind the table had given him advertised. He always managed to intrigue women, and he wasn’t planning on losing that ability any time soon.
Besides, she had his name now if she was interested, so he’d just let her do the work. He had other things to do, now that there was 100 galleons’ worth less in weight out of his pockets. If anything, he could meet up with Andrew to let him know everything was set, and back in his court regarding the election. Luckily, after the beginning of the campaign, it had appeared the man knew what to say without too much coaching. He could always drop a few buttons around, surreptitiously. Either way, he had things to do, so he merely gave the blonde another charming smile since apparently nothing else was needed. “You’re very welcome, sweetheart, and you have a nice day yourself. Don’t work too hard,” he finished, giving her a little wink before turning to walk back towards the lifts. Now he just had to decide if he wanted to stop by any of the other floors or just head back out into the city.
This was a gentleman indeed. The blond grinned at being called sweetheart for the second time. Good thing Konrad wasn't near to hear. She didn't want to see his manish reaction. Besides, this particular manager was being super nice. She liked that and appreciated it. "I'll try, sir," She said with a giggle. Though she had worked too hard already.
