"I'm sure you saw the jobs that were posted for you. One is rather menial, and I apologize for it, although it gives you the opportunity to show your face on other levels and start networking. The other, though, is a pet project I'd like to take up. I'm not willing to entrust changes to the cafeteria to Mr. Isaacs, but if you could do some preliminary research for me..." Albert spread his hands, not needing to say anymore. Credit where credit was due under Albert's watch. The work you did was attributed back to you. "I'd like a report as soon as you are able to provide it."

João chuckled softly. He certainly didn't think so. But he also didn't think Minister was a very patient man. He was THE Minister, not someone casual to listen to everyday problems. "Of course, sir, I'm not," he said and waited for him to continue.

...

"Yes, I believe I'll help redecorating your office and investigate the food court." Minister probably had no idea how many times João read his job description. "So, you want me to start with the food court first?" Just to be 100% sure. He wondered just how many days he would have to 'investigate', but didn't ask it since it would sound childish.
