"It's alright, Gabriel, I know how busy you must be," she responded, clutching her resume and references tightly. "I wouldn't want to be hired without going through the proper channels, so it's probably better you didn't realize." She shrugged slightly, smiling widely. "Of course, please lead on." She was looking forward to meeting someone who Gabriel obviously felt strongly towards, and hopefully proving her worth.
Diligence followed behind Gabriel, aware of the importance of this situation. "Thank you."
