She turned to see her office manager, Dana, at the door.
“Nat? Will
wants a word.” Nat must have blinked too much because then she added. “We are
having issues with our intercom system…” and she named the quotation hand
gesture “and the telephone system and our Local Area Network.”
Nat made a
face and Dana rolled her eyes and they both laughed.
“Opening
day jitters I hope.” Nat said as she walked out of her office with Dana over to
the inner office William had commandeered. The door was open and revealed the
formerly windowless rear wall of the office had been removed and replaced with
pane glass one that towered over the open floor space of the interior court of
the building. Nat felt a pang on jealousy and it must have been clear on her
face since James grinned from ear to ear in triumph at his conquest in gaining
this office all the while Nat thought he was fighting for hers. That little
shit.
“Oh come on
Nat.” He said swiping back a lock of his light brown hair. “This way everybody
wins.”
“Oh yeah?”
Nat retorted. “Where you put Dan?”
“Dan?”
“Our in
house Pro Dick?”
“Oh- yes-
Dan. Well I haven’t seen Dan- are you sure he is here?”
“Nope,
haven’t seen him, besides it’s the first come first serve rule of survival
here.”
“Uh-huh.”
Nat said taking one of the client chairs. “So, what’s up anyway?”
“Well as I
sit it we got two or three major problems to consider before we can proceed
with business as usual.” Will held up two fingers, Nat almost stopped him but
decided it was a waste to point out that obvious point.
