It is a sorrow to part so soon, but it is all part of the plan. If Jaclyn and Peter are happy, she's over the moon. Jeksai has proven to be quite the asset. Olivia can only muse at the fact that she'll have to come up with a suitable reward for her when this is all done. Yes, there was what she was promised, but you don't inspire loyalty by giving away the least possible. Something commensurate, sure, but something to show appreciation.<br/><br/>Olivia shoots off a text to Jekesa, opting out of a potential dinner herself, but wanting to keep her finger on the pulse. It's more strategic than anything else, but Olivia did find herself vulnerable to a lingering set of follow up questions after already having made a decent impression. Instead... she looked at playing to her strengths. A little absence here and there could make the heart grow fonder.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><strong>To Jekesai:</strong></em></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;">Amazing work so far. Something's come up on my end. See to it that they have a magnificent lunch and that the staff continue to make themselves available to them 100%. I'll be back late. Convey my apologies.</span><br/><br/>For Olivia... it really would be believable that she'd need to come and go. Be seen yes, but if she had to vanish for awhile, that wouldn't be altogether uncommon either. With this reputation and the requirements of her work, it allowed her to manage situations like this where if she was in a risky position, she could work her way out of it. She could return tonight, when fatigue, exhaustion and just the weight of the day had settled in on her prey. All the while, spending less time with them while they were alert and talkative.<br/><br/>A sacrifice to be sure but... she wouldn't be gone long. Besides... it'd make for a pleasant surprise when she did return. It was an interesting thing, learning to work a room. Making yourself available was key, but knowing how to be associated with the good, while never being around for the bad or letting yourself get cornered into a question you can't answer... that... is impeccable!
