Lester sighed as he closed his eyes. He really didn't want to have another unproductive talk with the mad professor.

Except someone had to, before the man got someone killed, although most likely not himself. Then Lester would have to deal with more of the man's guilt plus the extra paperwork.

Sometime he really regretted getting out of management consultancy, at least then people had listened to him.

Lester sighed again as he realised he was only putting off the 'talk'.

Reluctantly, he pressed the intercom button, “Lorraine, please inform Professor Cutter that I need a word with him.”

Good luck, Lester! And I bet management consultancy paid loads better *g*.

Thanks, Lester will need all the luck he can get. I assume the Civil Service offered him something better than staying in management consultancy.

Perhaps another approach as talking would be more effective.;)

*snort* I thought you might (g), maybe later.

Good luck Lester! I don't envy him having to have that talk with Nick.

But if it saves Lester from the extra paperwork, he might think it is worth it. Thanks for the comment.

Strangely enough, I'm having a similar thought to [livejournal.com profile] talliw! ;)

At least Lester is trying...

Couldn't do that in a drabble, but if the bunny bites... (g)

I wonder if Lester would truly be happy back at his old job considering having to deal with Nick sometimes makes the day better, right? :D Great drabble!

Thankyou. He'd probably would miss the excitement if he went back, but would deny it.

Thanks. I'm sure Lester would agree.

Sometimes, it's hard to be the Boss :-) *hands Lester large mallet*

(g) I can just see Lester with the mallet!

Poor Lester, dealing with the mad professor everyday.;)
Sometimes a boring job can be very appealing.

Thanks. I think Lester would find a normal job far to boring now.

I do? I'm always worried I don't so I am glad you enjoyed reading the fic. Thanks for the kind comment.
