"Good afternoon, Mrs Sage. I heard there was a commotion down here, so I came to check what it is." Theo said smoothly, looking up to the women behind her, who shook like leaves.
"Oh, no. There are no problems here. We were ..discussing." She said, smoothly, making sure the women looked into her eyes as she defended them.
"Okay then. I believe it’s been handled?" He asked, his concern genuine.
"Yes sir, perfectly." She said smiling.
"Okay then. Can I talk to you for a second?" He asked hesitantly.
"Sure. Please lead the way." She said almost immediately, like she’d been expecting it.
As he left, she shot the women a look, before following him.
"You did good in there." He commended as they stepped out to a tiny balcony, far from listening ears.
"I was this close to slapping someone’s mother." She said as she leaned on the railing, taking in his appearance. "You clean up nicely." She teased.
"Oh. Wow. Taking the initiative, I see. There are other things I can clean up, nicely." He teased right back.
