Anya raised a perfectly trimmed brow at Alex's pro-offered hand and then
took it, lightly returning the gesture as she then turned to Derek and
nodded at the nearby briefcase and the files on it "I've already started
working on it actually, care to take a look?"
She watched and barely kept her brow from raising any more as she found
herself checking out his backside as he went to pick up the file, and then
blinked, putting her professional mask back in place. No Nick, but not bad.
Then she looked at Alex and wondered what kind of an assistant she was "Is
it possible to get some of that coffee?"
"And are all of those in your branch going to help with the organization of
the affair?" she asked, looking again at Derek curiously "A Mister Nick
Boyle and Doctor Rachel Corrigan? Or perhaps the doctor would be limited in
time to help so.. Mister Nick Boyle?"
Alex didn't miss what Anya was looking at and it irritated her. However,
she kept her professional manner as well. "If you think you can stomache
it, you're welcome to have some. It's a bit strong." She had to laugh when
the woman asked about Nick helping with the plans for the ball. She had to
be kidding. First off, she was usually the one who did the whole damned
thing and secondly, "we'll be lucky if we can get Nick to attend the ball.
Expecting him to help with the plans is asking a bit much." She motioned
for the woman to follow her and led the way to the kitchen.
