.. a conference room.Hawk played his part perfectly. He continued to exercise his responsibilities but did absolutely everything in his power to make ...he transition smooth and painless. His staff wanted to be kept on and Sam appeared willing to work with most of them.The Cabinet might be another story, altogether.Sam was not enthusiastic about keeping six of the Cabinet secretaries. They were quietly informed of his intention to appoint replacements and all six packed and left the next few. Only one man and a woman remained and Jessa behind the counter. She was busy cleaning plates and mugs in a washtub with what seemed to be quite hot water. The two guests ignored him, so he asked Jessa, “Miss Jessa, is there a place I could clean some clothes here?” She glanced at his bag and nodded towards a side door. “Thank you, Ma’am.” She snorted at that and smiled, went back to her chores.Andrew opened to the door she had indicated entered after looking in carefully for any notable. He said, “Huh?” And then he said, “Oh, right, yes, sorry. I’m ready.”We started walking into the school and Dad said, “I never really like these teacher conferences. I have bad memories of Mrs Finkel. She always smelled of peppermint. At a teacher conference she told my parents that I might be gay and that I had a crush on Frederick Nagel.”I blinked in surprise. “Wow, what teacher would say that?”Dad shrugged. “Apparently Mrs Finkel would.”“And did you?” I asked. “Did you have a crush on. Swetha could see me too from the mirror and she was flirting with me, we were having fun. Swetha took a nap as she said, she will drive next, to which we agreed. I saw Shilpa, it was long time now, I was starring at her she caught me watching her, I didn’t turn away, I kept on looking at her.There was this beautiful place, lake and mountains, we got down to take pictures. We all took a selfie, which Nithin was controlling the camera, we came so close that my shoulder was brushing Shilpa’s right.
