Slowly but surely, file after file was examined, signed, and/or forwarded onto the appropriate person.

He was about halfway through the stack when the orb on his desk suddenly flashed. Having caught his attention, blue eyes diverted from the current file to the projection of Tomasz Łaska. It was then he remembered that they had a meeting scheduled, the note reminding him of such a thing now buried somewhere in the sea of paperwork that surrounded him. Thank Merlin for that ever-handy glass tool of his; always reliable and not easy to misplace, it was.

Glad to take a break from the paperwork momentary, the department head set the file in his hand aside and rose from his seat. By the time he had made it around his desk and started making his way across the office, the knock echoed from the other side of the door. Seconds later, the door was swung open and the two men were now face-to-face.

"Hello, Tomasz," Frankie greeted the man with a warm smile before adding, "Come in and make yourself at home." The blond stepped aside, gesturing for the younger man to enter and choose a seat.

Tomasz held punctuality in high regard. It was something instilled at him at a young age. Punctuality showed respect of one's time. It was for this reason he always showed up when he said he would. He also appreciated when others did the same. So when Mr. Paton promptly opened the door to welcome him inside, Tomasz bowed his head politely and offered his Department Head a kind smile. "Hello, Mr. Paton," he replied, taking a step inside.

He looked around for a second, before deciding to sit on one of the armchairs. "Thank you for meeting with me. I- Yy, I am sure you are very busy," he leaned back in the seat, before deciding against it and scooting forward so that he was sitting on the very edge of it instead, his knees jutting out and his hands wresting on either side of his thighs.

"I am grateful for your time," and he was. Tomasz was so grateful. He knew he was lucky to have this job. He was lucky to work with good people. He was lucky to have a boss who took the time to speak to his employees. And he felt guilty for still wanting more.
