Order Only: I've been cleared

[alt_bill]

I just got out of my meeting with Selwyn. It started out very tense--I don't know what Massopust told him, but I doubt it was good--but the logs proved I don't have anything to do with the Private Messaging function on the journals at all. When that became clear, Selwyn eyed Massopust in a way that made me glad he wasn't looking at me that way. Perhaps he's irritated that Massopust wasted his time by hauling me in.

Selwyn actually shook my hand afterward, saying, 'glad to have you on the team, let's do lunch sometime next week.' It was all I could do not to laugh at the way Massopust was glaring at me over his shoulder.

I've dodged the hex. You can breathe freely now, Mum.

Well, thank goodness for that!

You're quite, quite sure you're safe, Bill?

I think Massopust would have looked loads happier if they were on the brink of arresting me. Don't know why he's got it in for me, but it became painfully clear today that I'm not his favourite employee. No idea why.

Don't worry, I'll be careful. Continue to be careful.

All right, then. I'll head out. I'm just a couple hours behind the time I told Alice and Arabella to expect me.

I'm sure you and your father will let me know immediately if anything changes.

Maybe you just show him up too much. He was always a lazy sod, if he's the same Massopust I'm thinking of. You're the bright, rising employee, and he's obviously going nowhere. He got passed over for the last promotion he wanted, didn't he? I think I remember you telling me that.

Jealous supervisors can be the worst. Do be careful, my friend.
