Location: Main office floor--->Conference room
Interacting with:
Nana-dear mentions
Temperance
To have Mr. Ferguson tell him what a good idea his suggestion was made him feel proud; receiving recognition from the boss and the man he respected most in the office often did. A shame about Chris's mother; after the meeting he could give his condolences to his mother.
Now that the pay cut wasn't happening, it was time to turn the computer off which took a simple slide of the mouth followed by a click. He couldn't wait for the meeting to start and got up from his desk to make his way towards the conference room, but the sound of faint, scurrying footsteps followed by the ever familiar sweet voice of Nana. Just hearing her call out to him with that cute nickname she referred him as only brightened his day further; not that his day wasn't already a good one.
Turning to find her walking over to him, though couldn't help but notice the slight limp to her step and hoped it was nothing serious.'
And a super good morning to you too, Miss Darling!'Only greeting her in a formal way due to the boss being right there, but that overly serious salute she gave to Mr. Ferguson brought out a chuckle out of him, something of which Nana tended to be good at doing.
Having her ask him if he wished to sit next to her; an pleasant offer he always enjoyed, though instead of answering right away had rubbed at his chin in a thoughtful manner where he got an sort of devious little idea.'
Hm...I don't know. I can't help but feel that perhaps a break is needed. That maybe I should try something..different?'A raise of his right brow with an questingly expression upon his face, then took a glance at Nana for her reaction then reeled his upper body back and a pointed at her with a finger from both hands.(clamp pointing at her in mock pointing)'
Ahhh gotcha! If you know me then you know my answer.' Laughing to himself while giving her the toothy warm smile, made to uplift a person up.
Gerald did indeed mostly sat next to her in the conference, where they could chat about the current novels they were reading and giving opinions and of course whisper about any possible gossip. And Nana brought up an interesting point concerning the book they have been reading lately and gave a brief nod to indicate he was listening.'
You brought up some interesting points. For what makes a good mystery novel if not without a good twist. The author certainly took a good risk to pull such a tactic as not only is it shocking, but gives the readers a false sense of sympathy to feel for these so called victims as if to try and delude you their actions were justified.'Shaking his head after giving his thought and more-so to the part concerning the judge.'
Such a judge certainly should nullify any rulings for the trials; regardless if the accused be guilty or not. A corrupted court instantly cancels any actual and probable justice to occur. As for whether any one person has the right to judge a peer by their crimes....that is a rather difficult topic to get into in small discussions.' The concept of a court and its process was rather complex and especially difficult to judge if whether it was a system that succeeded or a failure.
There were more he wished to discussed about about the judge; when Ms. Venable came over, who, by the look of her seemed very anxious and nervous. With her being one of the newest addition to the office, it only made sense for her to feel such a way, what with being surrounded by strangers basically, whom she would be working with. Her telling of a rather dark incident only further showed her awkwardness as she told it as if she found it amusing. Certainly to most; such an out of place dark humor would disturb them, but Gerald's thoughts were focused on the plausibility of doing something so brazen and dangerous.
Letting the two ladies have their talk before watching the nervous new accountant offer Nana a cup of coffee before clumsily cantering off into the conference room.'
For such a nervous new recuit, she's certainly a bit more talkative then most. Makes it all the easier to get to know her character.'Taking a glance over at Temperance, ever the eager beaver to find out about new coworkers.'
And at least she has good story to tell of her very first interaction with someone in the office...one pertaining to the little injury to that leg of yours.' His gaze back on Nana and gave her another warming smile, thinking how an awkward meeting to be a good icebreaker for moving pass the uncomfortable stage all the more easy.'
Come on, better get our seats before all the good ones are taken.'Letting out another chuckle before entering the conference room, with the meeting about to take place any moment.
