"Good Morning!" Claudia's cheerful smile assaulted her as she walked through the office door. For somebody who was normally a morning person, Sydney now understood how people felt when non-morning people were faced with a cheerful happy person first thing in the morning.
"Good morning Claudia, I know I'm late, have I missed anything?" She looked around the office, the only other person was Claudia "Where's Nigel?"
Claudia frowned and shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know, I thought you'd know. And you've missed your first class, the Dean was beside himself. A man called, he wants to talk as soon as possible, he said that he'd call back in twenty minutes." The blonde secretary settled down in her seat again.
"What was his name?"
"How should I know, he spoke really quietly, plus I had my hands full at the time."
Sighing in exasperation Sydney walked through to her office, swearing when she knocked over an ornament.
"It's just not my day today." She said smiling resignedly. As if to prove this point, the door to her office jammed as went to walk through, she shook it violently, put in all her weight against it, it then chose that minute to unstuck, nearly sending her flying through the door.
She regained her balance, and gave the now open door a hefty kick to vent her anger. "When the man calls, put him through. And tell me when Nigel gets here." She went to slam the door, but thought better of it, and closed it gently instead. "I'll be glad when this day is over." she muttered, wondering where her TA had got to.
Ten minutes later there was a gentle knock on the door, it was the knock of a man who has been warned that the boss is not in a good mood.
"Um, morning Syd." Nigel slipped into the room closing the door behind him. "Sorry I'm late, it's been a hellish day." Nigel looked kind of rumpled, and still half asleep.
"You look how I feel." She smiled warmly "What happened?"
"Oh, you know when you have one of those days, where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong?" Sydney nodded "Well I've been having one of those. Who's this man that Claudia's been going on about?"
"No idea, he's not called yet. I know how you feel, I'm having a day like that too. I was really late, and my car wouldn't start."
"I'll take that, and raise you a collapsed bed, and a late bus." He sunk into the chair in front of the desk.
"A collapsed bed?" She smirked "How did it collapse?" She watched as the Englishman blushed when he got her meaning.
"Nothing like that! I just sat down on it, after the delayed flight back from Italy, and the nest thing I know I'm on the floor." Sydney tried to stifle a giggle, but failed miserably "Stop laughing! I don't know what you're laughing about, Claudia told me about your graceful entrance to your office." He grumbled moodily.
Sydney's giggling was interrupted by the phone. She picked it up and spoke ito it.
"Hello?" There was the sounds of a man talking on the other end, the conversation was short, Sydney finished it by saying "That's fine, in about half an hour then, okay, bye." She put the phone back down on the cradle.
"That was Mr. William Matthews, he's curator of the museum that the box of gustopher was donated to. He wants to talk to us immediately, he'll be here in half an hour."
"Why? There was nothing wrong with the box was there?" Nigel looked questioningly at her.
"No, I don't think so, he wouldn't say. Oh damn! I just remembered, I have a lecture in five minutes, he's gonna have to wait for us." She grabbed her notes, and dashed out of the door, "tell Mr. Williams I'm sorry!"
