Fine, take Alicia if she wants the work. But I'm paying by the hour so no shagging her in the back room. I know she likes that sort of thing.

I'd love to come and help, but I do have other businesses to run. Now it seems I'll have to come and recruit new staff as well. I'll come in Friday, see what has been done.
Just tell the elves I'll give them clothes and make them wear uniforms if I find a single spec of dust in the place when I come in Friday. That should shut them up. And yes, Sparks has already been here, wringing his hands and asking after Liam.
