As they straighten up they hear footsteps in Clarisse's office and they pull away very quickly. "Damn," Joseph says quietly as he returns to his regular security guard frame of mind and his regular security guard distance from her.
"Trust me that will happen a lot more than we would both like," Clarisse says shooting Joseph a small, but always elegant, and queenly smile. One of those smiles Joseph has always loved, but anything Clarisse does is lovely. It is a smile Joseph has noticed over the years has always been reserved for special members of Clarisse's family. It is nice to know he is now part of that exclusive club that gets to see Clarisse's special smiles and a more personal side of her.
"I'll just have to get used to it I suppose because I'm not going anywhere anytime in the near future. I must admit though I'm not used to the spotlight at all and I'm not sure how I'll react." Joseph says sighing at the bad timing whoever was in that office has.
"I'll teach you how to deal with the press and the spotlight; it's not hard. I'd best get back to work and see what the person who just interrupted us wants. I'm sure they're looking for me. You've kept me away from my work for far too long." Clarisse says putting her hands on Joseph's arms and kissing him on the cheek.
