"I doubt my brother has been too much of a help," Jagger commented, "He's probably only gotten in the way."
He reached out and grabbed Victorique's free hand, then pulled himself out of the car. He didn't let go of her hand though, planning on using her to maneuver around the building, even though he was completely familiar with it. He just wanted an excuse to hold her hand.

Victorique shrugged, trying to calm herself down. She was very attracted to her boss, she realized, even though every time Willow pictured him, she pictured Godot. "Ah, he's been okay I guess. I had no idea how things had worked. He at least gave me a basic idea." she said, as she walked into the building.

"I'm proud of him." Jagger said. When he walked into the building with Victorique, immediately there was a rush of workers gathered around to greet them. Jagger, like a good boss, greeted them all by name and answered any questions they had. Sooner or later he whispered in Victorique's ear, "Let's get to my office. I think I'm about done with this."

Victorique nodded and said, "Oh, you know, Mr. Pontmercy, you have some messages I've left up in your office. Shall we go check them?" and without waiting for a reply, she lead the man up into his office and closed the door behind them, after a couple of the workers had tried to follow them in.

"Thanks." Jagger said, "I needed the break." He let go of Victorique's hand and wandered sightlessly over to his desk. It was nice to be sitting in his own desk once again after not being there for months. But now he wasn't sure what to do. It was hard to do things when he didn't have vision.

"Ahh... so what should we do now?" Victorique asked, walking over towards Jagger's desk. She was sure that he was glad to be back in his office, but it was a little odd for her. She wasn't very sure what to do while Jagger wasn't in the hospital.

"Well, is there anything going on that I should know of? Any papers for me to sign or read? Or well, I guess you would have to read them to me..." Jagger suggested. The place had obviously been well taken care of while he was gone.

"For the most part I've handled all that, I think..." Victorique said. She LEANED OVER AND LOOKED AT THE PAPERS ON JAGGER'S DESK *COUGH* BOOOOBIES *COUGH* TOO BAD HE'S TOO BLIND TO SEE. She checked through the papers, trying to see anything that she might have missed or anything like that sort.

"Wow, you've really taken care of this place while I was gone! It's like they don't need me at all!" Jagger exclaimed. He felt a little...abused, for lack of better words, but he was also glad that he didn't have to return back to a bunch of work to do. Then again, he didn't have a life so he had nothing to do when he wasn't working.

Victorique felt bad for taking care of all of Jagger's stuff now. "Well there was a lot of stuff. I just didn't want you to feel really overwhelmed when you came back. I'm sure you'll get more stuff to do soon." she tried to assure him.

"Ha, thanks." Jagger laughed, "It's actually nice not having any work to do, and i'm grateful that you did it, but I don't have much of a life outside of the office, so now I'm not sure what to do. Thorn isn't even around, or else he would be amazed that I'm not doing much of anything."

Victorique laughed slightly. "Oh okay." she said, then after a while, "Well it left me with nothing to do either." she said with a sigh. She kind of liked being busy so often. What was she supposed to do now? Jagger.

"When does my brother need picked up? Or is he walking home today?" Jagger asked, trying to talk before the silence got any more awkward.
He wished right now that he wasn't so blind, because it might have given him a little more confidence to make a move on his wonderful intern. But he was much too scared, not that his man pride would admit it, that she wouldn't want anything to do with a man that might be blind for life. She had done a good job taking care of it so far, but she was also getting paid for it. He really wished he knew if she even liked him in that manner.
So yes, his thoughts were focused on his sexy apprentice rather than his brother.

"...He can walk home." Victorique said. She had finally gotten to be alone with Jagger after such a long time! She wasn't going to ruin it by picking up Thorn. "My car is almost out of gas. I'll only have enough to get home." she lied, hoping he would believe her. He was blind. He couldn't see how full the gas tank was.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Jagger said, "I'll throw some more in your paycheck this month to make up for all the running you've been doing."
He wasn't aware that he had been running her all over the place until now. She'd been coming to take care of him, and running his little brother around while he was out of commission.
