"No," Juliana answered with a sharp shake of her head. She was only vaguely aware of the Minister's reputation in society, from hearing other people talk about him and not from any actual interactions she'd had with him herself, but she could guess what Ross meant by familial drama and could honestly say it hadn't touched the office. "His mother has come by a few times trying to drop things off she says he'd forgotten at home, but I think she mainly means to tease him. She never stays long so it isn't much of a distraction. And his wife hasn't been in yet," she continued. With a thoughtful shrug, she added, "He does stay late sometimes, so I suppose he might be avoiding her. But no problems."
