"What's worse is that she hired some guy from the outside to be Dragon Commissioner," he added in a low mumble. Okay, so Tanc wasn't just 'some guy' but he WAS an outsider to the Ministry! What had Willy been working so hard at here for so long if he was just going to be overlooked for promotions?
He still wasn't over it. He shook his head and leaned back too. "That's a bad idea if I ever heard one." What, talk to her? So she could make up MORE stories about him to make him look bad?! "I don't really fancy getting in trouble with your department, just saying."
Alysson sighed.
Reaching over to give both his hands a soft squeeze she took a moment to just look at him silence. "That doesn't seem fair." She even frowned slightly, briefly staring over his shoulder at the wall behind him. Then her eyes returned to him. "Try talking to her at least. Tell her you're upset about someone else getting picked over you even though you're more qualified." Or at least he'd been with the department for longer. Of course that didn't automatically mean he was more qualified than an outsider.
But it certainly sounded better.
For a moment Alysson wasn't sure if she should tell him off for behaving like a child or if she should just laugh. She chose the latter. But managed to suppress most of it almost immediately, eventually leaving her with just a small grin on her lips. "As long as you don't curse her or wrestle her to the ground I don't think you'd get in trouble with our department." Emily, he would of course get in trouble with her but that was different.
She eyed him for a moment. "Well you can't just leave every room she's in for the rest of your life." |
