<strong>Victor Orestes, in the lobby, conversing with Tom and trying not to pay too much attention to Marie</strong><br/><br/>Victor smiled and nodded slightly to Tom as he spoke. Stepping around the desk to stand beside Tom, he glanced in the direction of George, seeing the man walking with a rather pale face. It made him wonder what on Earth George could possibly be carrying that would have in such a state but he pushed the thoughts from his mind when Tom began to speak to him once more. “Yes sir, I do believe she is quite well off. I actually left her in the company of Selena though I have to tell you that Miss Stratten expressed a desire to have my company later if it would be allowed. I figured that it would be best let you know and see what the policy is on such things.”<br/><br/>When the food arrived, Victor realized just how hungry he was thought he had been far too busy to focus on it. Now that something delicious was set before him, he felt his stomach growl and he admired the food for a moment. When Tom offered the jam, he politely declined being of simple tastes. Grabbing the bread, he dipped it into the stew before eating with hunger. Turning his attention to Tom once more, he swallowed the food that he had in his mouth before answering. “Well as you mentioned, it is what I know and I do enjoy the feeling of responsibility that comes with it. Plus with this place it allows me to meet all sorts of fascinating people, something that I haven’t had a chance to do while I was working my previous tasks.”<br/><br/>As he turned back to his meal he noticed movement and saw a lovely woman approaching. Before his eyes and much to his shock, she spoke to Tom quickly before dropping to her needs and beginning to pleasure him right there behind the desk. Victor did his best to keep the blush from his face and focused on his food, wanting to give Tom his privacy without making it obvious that something was going on behind the desk.<br/>
