...to disregard that memo. Far be it from any of us to question Byakuran-sama's reasons, but that is not the budget Finance has approved. See me on Monday for clarifications.
Uni let out a sigh as she pressed Send and leaned back in her chair. After the series of catastrophes that had, essentially, occupied all her attention yesterday, today was almost depressingly dull. Not that she minded the work -- she had to arrange for solutions to the problems that had cropped up the other day -- but she very keenly felt a lack of... something despite the masses of flowers crowding her office.
Gamma is the most frustrating man in the world, Uni grumbled to herself. She looked around, saw that none of her aides was in the room, and threw a manuscript at a wall. It made her feel better, though the resulting crash had both Kuroki and Mora running in from their offices in worry (or panic, who knew).
"I'm going out," Uni told them. It was a command more than anything else, and Kuroki, recognizing the note of irritation in her voice, was placing a call to her driver even before Uni could turn to get her coat. "It's fine, though. I'll walk." Without waiting for his reaction, Uni wrapped her coat around her shoulders and walked out of the room.
It was really very nice of Shouichi-san to invite her out for ice cream. Perhaps one of the few nice things in an otherwise very gray day.
