Dean's little kitten

[PIERSON CORPORATION]

"So, how's your time in Director Dean's department?" William asked as they neared their floor. "Is he giving you a hard time?"

Jonathan responded with a meek smile. "He gives me plenty of work, but since it's just a training phase, I don't mind. Besides, it's time to prove that I'm more than capable." — And that he wasn't just meant to be stuck in Dean's office.

"Good, good!" William laughed.

"How about you, Uncle?" Jonathan returned. "I heard you've been working closely with the new COO. I've heard a lot about him in a work setting, but I don't think he'd cross the line and forget seniority."

William's smile faltered slightly, and his lackeys cleared their throats.

"Of course not!" one of the lackeys quickly interjected. "Atlas Bennet might try, but even with his position, he still has to work hard to earn Director William's approval!"
