"We will be honoured if you attend the wedding and being my cheif guest" he nodded and looked back at Becca and winked quickly as Reagan seemed slightly spaced out.
Then she asked this question. Honeymoon. He couldnot help but blushed a bit before answered. "I'd like to take my whole life time. But..two weeks is enough for now" he chuckled, running his hand through his hair, nervous happily.
Then he saw her eyebrows raised when she heard the name Lee. "Well..as a quick information, She's my own Sister Sarah" he said, looked a glance at Sarah, grinning. Quote:

The question I probably shouldn't answer. She glanced at Brian and then down at her feet as they discussed. He's blushing! She pulled away from him a little and smiled at Reagan as he ran his hand through his hair. Nervous? Then the conversation turned to Sarah. Her soon-to-be sister in law. Wow that was wierd. Having any sort of family after all this time was wierd to her though. She looked down at her hands and fiddled with her engagement ring as they spoke. Family. A whole new start. Reagan observed how adorable and in love Brian and Becca appeared. She genuinely hoped they would be happy together forever. She joked, "A whole lifetime? Well, I definitely can't give you that long off of work, but I can certainly manage the two weeks." Reagan made a mental note to ask Angelina to make regular appearances in that department while he was gone, just to be sure things were running smoothly.
Reagan inquired of Becca, "May I see your ring?"
Mixing business with pleasure, Reagan also asked Brian, "Do you think that when me and my liaisons here get this office cleared out and the one next door that we could get maintenance to remove some of the furniture? And also, can I get someone from Maintenance to change the weather and view outside these windows? Oh, and someone from Security to evaluate that all the protective enchantments on this office are as strong as ever, and maybe add a few news one?" Quote:

I just wanted to introduce myself!" said Katy cheerfully, "I'm sure you're rather busy, with just being elected and all, so I'll leave you be. But if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask, I really look forward to working with you!"
As she finished her speech, which she had rehearsed several times before arriving at the office due to her nervousness, she took one step backward, waiting to see what the Minister had to say to her in return. First impressions were everything...she hoped she did her's justice. Quote:

She was looking forward to working with her very much. Sarah smiled as she extended her hand and shook the woman's hand. "You got it, ma'am. I am Sarah Lee. Calling for duty," she said, cheerfully.
It was at that moment, she realized her very own brother and fiance was standing in the room with her. Sarah had been so focused on the Minister, she didn't even notice the people around her in the office. "Oh! Brian! Hello. Hi Becca," she said, smiling at the two. Sarah assumed that since the two were together... they were either inviting Reagan to lunch... or inviting her to their wedding. Both highly possible. Perfect! Both liaisons had reported for duty promptly and appearing eager to work. She addressed them individually first and then both together, "Katy, it is a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to the Minister's Office. Accidents and Catastrophes is a great department. I, myself, used to work within that department when I first became employed at the Ministry. There are some great people there and I'm sure you'll get along with them just fine." Reagan thought this liaison seemed promising and hoped she would enjoy her job.
Turning to Sarah, "So, you're Brian's sister? How wonderful! He used to work in this department before he became head of a department. Let's hope you have just as much success!"
Now directing her attention to both of the liaisons, "Well ladies, let me give you an idea of what I'd like for you to do. First things first, please note that outside this office is the Office of the Senior Undersecretary. We do not yet have a new one, as I just vacated that position when I became Minister, so for the time being you can report directly to Angelina Gilmore, who is the Junior Assistant, or myself. Once we hire a new Undersecretary, he or she will be the main person you report to, other than Angelina, of course. Should you ever need to speak with me directly for anything, just be sure to stop at the new Undersecretary's desk first. In this office, you will also find that memos about new assignments will be placed in an Outbox for you to pick up, as well as a place for you to submit completed reports. Always check these boxes frequently.
"Also, outside of the Undersecretary's office are the liaisons' desks. Please feel free to each find a vacant desk and set up your things. Once you've done that, head down to your respective departments and introduce yourselves to the department head, as well as the division heads and employees. They should know who they are working with, as should you. While you're down there, get an update on what those employees have been working on from the department head. Please submit a report once you've gathered this information so that I can be made aware of the status in each department."
Reagan knew she was giving these women a lot of information, but this was a fast-moving department and they needed to be thrown in feet first, "Lastly, once you've done those things, return here as I will be calling a department head meeting very soon and I'd like for each of you to be in attendance. Any questions?"
