Liam turned to Lillia and Mark and smiled. "Please get on with some work, Mark we will meet in the Breakroom so you can tell me all about how you have been doing." Liam couldn't believe he had met Mark after all this time, he couldn't believe that they had been put in the same division.
Liam walked upto Mei Lin. "You enter the room quietly." He smiled as he held out his hand for her to shake, he really wanted to hug her but he knew that maybe the Employees would get the wrong idea and maybe Mei Lin wouldn't like it, he really wanted to take her out for an ice-cream but he was too shy to ask her if she wanted one.
Liam looked at Mei Lin and sighed. "So where have you been lately, how's work in your division?" He asked as he looked at Mei Lin. "I don't think you should sit on a desk, you could spoil all the paperwork that is piled up nicely, why don't you sit on a chair."
"So Mei Lin." Liam started to straighten his tie and comb his hair, he wanted to look his best. "I guess you want to see some Gobstone Equipment, though I must warn you I ain't going to play a game, when the Gobstone sprays you it smells horrible and it takes ages for the smell to go away."
Mei Lin smiled slightly when she saw that Liam had noticed her, the smile turning into a slight smirk as he closed his eyes before opening them again. Obviously she had been quieter than she had meant to be, or he was just so into his meeting he hadn't heard the door open.
Sitting patiently as he talked to his employees she was slightly surprised when he ended the meeting because she was there. She would have been happy to wait for him to finish what needed to be done. It was no biggie really, she knew that as the Division Head he needed to take care of things. Plus it had sounded like they were talking about the QWC. Something she would need to call her division together for although truthfully she didn't know how to hold a meeting when she was unsure of exactly what was going on herself.
"Apparently not wearing heels makes a difference. Although I do miss my lovely stiletto's I thought that the dress would look better with flats," she replied with a shrug, looking at Liam in slight confusion when he held his hand out to shake. It was strange, normally he would hug her. Mei Lin didn't ever remember shaking Liam's hand. Not even when they first met. Although that was slightly different since she was living or at least staying at his house due to extenuating circumstances at that time. Hesitantly she reached out her hand and placed it in his. Looking past him and at the room however her eyes lit in silent understanding. He was afraid of what his employees would think if he hugged his twenty year old colleague.
"Lately I've been in LA and around here. I was visiting Sakura for our birthdays and then when I came back things just seemed busy. What with the World Cup and all." Mei Lin said with a slight shrug. "How have things been going with you?" Wordlessly Mei Lin slipped off the desk, remembering all the times she'd been told that exact same thing from other people. Granted she had been a little younger than she was now but it still rang true. Desks were not a place to sit.
Mei Lin had just gotten comfy in a chair when suddenly she was going to get a tour. Why had he offered to let her sit if she wasn't allowed to stay seated? Oh well. She might as well take him up on the offer. "Sure. It could be interesting, although like you I have no intention to play. I did once when I was at school and after that I vowed to never play again." Mei Lin shuddered remembering the awful spraying things. She had spent hours in the bathroom scrubbing herself and then her clothes to try and get rid of the stench. The only reason she'd even bothered with the clothes and not gotten rid of them were because they were her school robes. "And maybe after you show me around we could go get ice-cream or something?" she was slightly shy as she asked that, remembering that she had interrupted him in the first place and now she was asking him to delay his work further.
