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*.

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

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

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

At least Lester is trying...

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!

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

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

You write Lester brilliantly, I love reading his insights!
