Chapter Twelve

I decided to just walk around and observe, I didn’t want to interrupt anybody. I just wanted to get a better feel for how everything worked. I felt instantly awkward. Everyone noticed as soon as I was near and tension filled the air. I heard a lot of, “afternoon Miss Thatcher.” And many, “Can we help you Miss?” It was all so stuffy and made me feel so much older than my sixteen years. After an hour I couldn’t take it anymore and I found myself in George’s Office. He was just finishing up with Bob who gave me a firm chilly look before he left. I was fed up with people by now and George seemed easy to take my guard down around so I flopped down on his couch. “Geez, what is his problem?” I asked. This earned a giggle from Molly and a slight smile from George.

“Oh, don’t let Bob get to you. He is one of those old coots I warned you about. He is great at his job; but he is one of those people who is hardly ever happy with anyone or anything.”

I thought about this for a moment as it dawned on me, “He liked Vaughn and blames me for his absence doesn’t he?” George looked taken back and then guarded. "He did like Vaughn, in a way they were made from the same stock, very efficient. Nobody blames you for Vaughn’s departure; it was just his time to go. Everyone, even Bob deep down, knows that you are going to be a breath of fresh air to the Ministry. Just give him time.” With that George’s attention went back to whatever it was he was working on.

I turned to Molly, “So I basically made the executive decision that you and Wes are going to move into the Presidential house with me. Is that alright with you, or would you prefer the staff housing?” Molly’s eyes lit up in excitement as I knew they would. I never would have made that call without asking both her and Wes if I didn’t already know for sure their answer would be a resounding yes.

“Oh, of course that’s ok with me! How exciting, living in the Presidential house; even if I do have to put up with more of Wesley’s antics…totally worth it!” That last bit made me chuckle.

“Well good, I aim to please.” Looking down at my watch I realized how late it was getting. According to my itinerary Judy left me, I still have to meet with Masters before I can head “home” and meet with the seamstress. “Well, duty, calls. I will see you guys later.” Molly waved and George looked up with a smile and got back to what he was doing.

I stopped into Judy’s office on my way to see Masters. “Hi Judy, just wanted to let you know I’m going to meet Masters now. Can you shoot him a message and let him know I’m on my way please?” Judy looks up from what she was doing with a smile, “Certainly Miss Thatcher.
