At his admission Lucille felt mildly reassured, but at the same time unease rocked her stomach. If he had worked here so long and still got lost what business did she ever have trying to find her way through the ministry? She gave him a weak smile to show her appreciation for what he was attempting to do.

“As you work here, and I do not, I shall have to admit that your opinion likely weighs heavier than my own.” She humored him with another small smile, still finding it hard to believe that he worked here altogether.

A true smile did grace her lips at the acknowledgement that the man found her husband’s job to be a good one. She supposed there was some pride to take in that. As long as Ace liked his job Lucille felt it was good for him. It wasn’t like he needed to work after all. “Nearly, sir?” She had to admit that she was curious about what department he had indeed ended up in, it sounded as if there was a story there.
