 Cheesy Mac
Reagan had heard Cooper's voice from the liaisons area and hustled to his doorway as quickly as she was called. She had spotted the new Ministry worker standing at the Minister's office door from across the room and immediately was dreading his reaction. No one, NO ONE, was meant to directly approach the Minister without seeing Reagan first and now this woman was completely abandoning protocol!
Glaring at the woman briefly, Reagan first addressed the Minister, "I'm sorry, sir. The new liaison to the Department of Magical Transportation arrived this morning and I stepped out of my office momentarily to welcome her and explain to her our high expectations and standards for our liaisons in this office." Reagan emphasized that last part with the hope that his knowing that she was enforcing strong leadership would slightly appease the Minister's unhappiness and then continued as she gestured to the woman standing in his doorway, "She clearly must have entered while I had very briefly stepped out of my office and instead of waiting at my desk for me to return, took the liberty to knock on your door. I assure you, I won't let it happen again." Reagan added a bit of crispness to her voice, as if to emphasize to the woman that if she dare tried knocking on the Minister's door without going through her first, she just might be faced with the meaner side of Reagan, a side she most certainly would not like.
