She would watch him clean a bathroom, well she would watch from a distance anyways. He was looking handsome as ever. She had tried to tame his hair for him this morning but it was a exercise of futility, but at least it fell over his eye the way she loved. "Thank you Nathan, you are looking very fine today as well." She commented as she smoothed out a wrinkle in his lapel. "Yes it arrived this morning. I didn't even ask them for it. A owl fly into the kitchen with a box and this was in it." She told her gesturing at the robes. She loved them though. They were in her favorite colors.
She looked around they didn't clean on Level 10, but the rest of the Ministry was spotless. "Yes my team outdid themselves and I am very proud of them." She had never seen the place looking as clean. Not that the woman who had her job before Egypt did didn't do a good job. This was just Egypt's first real task as department head and she had come out on top. "Well you know Forrester. The man's brain and mouth move at 100 meters a minute. Its a wondered he hasn't burnt out by now." She hadn't met Nicoli but the one time at the wedding, but he seemed a pretty ok man. "Well you have to work in some sort of chaos. Criminals don't exactly work on a time table or in a ordered fashion. So you guys have to be adaptable to catch them." She missed some of that action being on Level 2, but she was calmer and happier without being a judge.
He smirked at her.
“You see me eating fried chicken a lot at home and you always look disgusted by it.” He straightened up in his seat as she adjusted his lapel for him. He had to admit, he quite liked this particular suit. The material was all soft and the suit fit him rather well. He wasn't sure whether Egypt had actually had it made for him. It seemed that way but he didn't want to ask. He didn't really want to know the answer when you could get a new suit from George at Asda for fifty quid, though he was sure none of then would be as comfortable or fit him as well as this one.
“Thank you my love.” he replied with a smile.
“Your sisters are good to you. I think it's stunning.” he told her honestly. Egypt always did look most beautiful in yellow and green.
“I met one of your team actually...” he thought for a minute trying to recall her name.
“Olivia. She seemed like a sweet girl.” he told her.
“You lot should be given a bonus for this.” he commented.
“The Ministry's never looked so clean.”
He laughed.
“Forrester's a wee bit funny in the brain I think.” he said pointing at his temple.
“Nicoli''s a good bloke. He has the patience of a saint.” He smirked slightly at the memories of the day thus far. How that man hadn't gone off with stress yet Nate did not know.
“That's very true, but it's not the criminals causing the chaos.” he chuckled.

But he would be there in no time.
Angelina’s thoughts about the conference were interrupted when she heard someone saying her name.
Someone with a familiar, and she had to admit.. even if it was only to herself, agreeable voice.
“Mr Serio.” She moved her green eyes to him with a genuine smile.“It's a pleasure to see you too. ”
“ It’s good to know you have a positive opinion about everything.. and everyone.” But of course it was.
His opinion was important. Well.. everyone’s opinion was important.
“Well, thank you, but it wasn’t just our department who worked on this beautiful room. Some people from other departments helped too. As a matter of fact, I think we had a man from your department in here.” the young woman calmly replied, still with the smile on her face.
He looked around at the proceedings and spotted a few faces he knew. Angelina Gilmore was among them. He hadn't seen her in an age. He gave her a nod and a friendly smile making a mental note to go and talk to her later when she was free. No doubt she had been rushed off her feet organising this event.
