"Fantastic," she added with a smile, knowing she could count on Lucas to get the job done. It was why she had personally chosen him for this project in the first place. And he was professional, even if she needed to offer a reminder.
Excuse me?
Mariel paused in her stride, just as Lucas pushed the door open wider and she was about to step past him. He and Tallie were dating? Mariel turned to look at him. "Are you not aware of the no-dating policy in this department?" Of course, it really should be for the entire Ministry, but she would not tell other department heads what they should do regarding their employees. "Dating a co-worker is strictly prohibited here." And even if neither of them were explicitly aware, most people knew that it made good sense to not date people you worked with, for the very reasons she implemented such a thing. And many other workplaces did have that rule as well.
Yes... no.
They would not be discussing this later. Lucas inwardly sighed and braced himself for Mariel's... wrath? He had never experienced her wrath and honestly, he wasn't even sure if she even had any. She was always so nice.
Wait...
Did Mariel actually enforce that? In some other departments, this was allowed. There were married couples in the Ministry. Then again, that was the Ministry in general and not this department. Lucas's expression changed to a horrified one. "That means we'll have to break up or one of us has to shift departments or quit?''
No way. |
