the person’s name, the sound of their voice, or the mere sight, it’s bound to happen. We work long hours together but we also make up for that. You’ll see more when you make it through the first months and you get your contract.”
    “Sounds good to me. Well I’m sure whatever happens, happens, no matter what we will always be in this. If you guys give me a good enough job, I’m totally going to stick around as long as possible.”
    “We’ll see,” he said and handed her a towel, “You’re drying. Just stack everything to the side. You’ll learn where everything is eventually but for now, just stack it out of the way.” Dunking his hands into the water, he began to wash the plates.
    Doing as he asked her, she stacked the dishes off to the side. She began to sing one of the hot songs right now and bumped her hip to his. Smiling happily as she did so. “Come on, sing, and dance with me.”
    “I do not sing and I do not dance,” he said, passing her another glass. “You’re on your own with that in this house. Though if you get Mahon drunk enough he can sort of dance. It’s not pretty and usually ends up with him naked, but I figure it at least gives you something.”
    She snickered and shook her head, “Well it’s a good thing then that I won’t be living here, huh? Remember I have my own place?” she said with a smile.
    “And staff parties, get togethers, the quarterly barbecues we hold out here and any other numerous events,” Torben added. “We try to treat those that work with us as a family. Yes, it’s a workplace, yes, they are our employees, but we also believe in open door policies and events to nurture a stronger workplace relationship.”
    “That sounds great. Sounds as if you guys pretty much keep employee moral up and therefore are able to retain them for longer. Well…all except personal assistants that is,” she added with a snicker. “And I dance. Love to dance. Can I dance? Hell no, but damned if I don’t have a great time trying to do it anyway.”
    “Well as long as you are enjoying it that’s what really matters, right?” he said pulling the drain in the sink. They both turned as a door crashed open and then shut. Mahon came screeching through a moment later and grinned at them before racing off. “For the love of,” Torben muttered under his breath. “Not in the house, assholes!” he bellowed when Ark came running in looking ready to murder. “And people wonder why I haven’t settled down and had kids,” he looked at her.
    She couldn’t help but to snicker and shake her head, “Well it likely has to do with the fact you are already raising two children as it is.” She reached out and grabbed Ark’s arm. “Hey, let it go,” she said softly and linked her arm with his, pulling him close. “It’s all good. Just let him go and I will teach you how to get him when he’s not expecting it.”
    “Don’t you dare,” Torben said, shaking his head as he pointed a finger her way. “I absolutely refuse to clean blood out of one more thing around here.”
    “If he’d take it like a man instead of running and screaming like a little girl,” Ark muttered. “No offense to your gender, Goldie,” he said, hooking his arm around her neck. Pulling her in closer to him, he looked down at her, “You’re likely tougher than that pansy ass.”
    Wrapping her arm around his middle seemed the most natural thing of all as Ark pulled her in closer. “Oh you have no idea. I can give as good as I get. I refuse to go down without a fight, on anything,” she added with a shrug. “So yep, that’s me.”
    Grunting, he nodded and looked to Torben. “We need to go over the blueprints for the site. Morris left a message on the system about a potential issue on the south wall. He wants us to review the prints before we see him tomorrow. He thinks he has a fix, but wants our input without him biasing us in anyway.”
    Nodding, Torben finished putting the dishes away, “Alright.
