Derek was just starting on another cup when Fredrick came in and he looked up curiously.
 
"Ms. Anya Sherridan from Egypt is here.  Sent to help with the preparations of the Luna Foundation ball."
 
"Damn." Derek breathed under his breath, having forgotten all about that and looking at Alex "Think the Foundation will notice if we duck out the back and act like we never got that memo?"
 
He knew that was impossible, because, for once, he had actually filled out paperwork and sent it back in.
 
He took another gulp of coffee and passed Philip the card, teasing Alex wryly "Now you see why I don't do paperwork?"
 
Then he turned to Fredrick "Let her know I'll be there shortly."
