"I prefer the Institute," he told me."You're not..." I said."No, Elaine likes to pass what people are thinking to me, especially when they are thinkin... about me." He looked at the door. "Even when it's not necessary!" Sir, I'd like to apologize for what happened," I said."Please," he said with a dismissive wave. "It went according to plan." With no disrespect, sir," I said. "I took over a courthouse." Like I expected you to," he replied."I don't understand." I've been waiting a few months for. I think she is a bit too dedicated but that is just me. I too return to my work and try to focus on my own tasks and not on her lest I displease my boss.
