“Professor Burns! Hi, how are you?” said Michael, the dean’s long-time and very enthusiastic assistant.
“I’m well, Michael” responded Mary with a smile on her face. Michael’s standard greeting smile had a sort of contagious effect and it always seemed to put Mary in a slightly better mood. In retrospect she wondered if that’s why the Dean had kept him around so long; I mean, it has to be helpful considering he screens all of the Dean’s visits and calls!
“I’m here to see Dr. Richards. I need to confirm a deadline with him,” Mary stated.
“Certainly, but I see the Dean is wrapping up a conference call right now. Please take a seat, he’ll be with you shortly.” said Michael with yet another beaming smile on his face.

“Ha, why wouldn’t I be? It’s a beautiful day!”
“I don’t know, you seem extra chipper today...” said Mary with an inquisitive tone.
“Well, now that you mention it,” Michael leaned in closer to her and whispered “let’s just say the girl I was chasing after finally let herself get caught”
Mary laughed immediately after he said that. “That’s sweet. Forgive the cliché, but she’s a lucky girl”
