You’ve probably heard it before but to really enforce the idea I’ll say it again; I find this story wonderfully unique! Your characterisations of Narcissa, Draco and Ginny all have an amazing edge to them. You have managed to capture the essence of an office lifestyle, primp and spruce it up to create something that not only is funny but also has substance to it. There are so many avenues you can take this to and get equally fanatboulous results. I really look forward to seeing where this goes so good luck with the next chapter :D!

Just one last thing

“I'll have you know that I've never had a tryst, fling, affair, or any other euphemism you care to think of for hot sex while on company time or property” – does this mean we can expect no rompa-pompa in the office because you know they do have “a door connecting their offices without having to go out and pass their secretary's desk” which, to me, is you guys foreshadowing aforementioned rompa-pompa when sleep depravation levels get really high and the sexual tension is just way too much? Regardless, great story so far!

Author's Response: Ves says: Maybe we are just torturing you all with our sneaky office design details. MwaaHaahaa!
Myn says: What is this "rompa-pompa" of which you speak? *looks innocent*

Getting more interesting by the update. I hope that Carissa gets what is coming to her (such a snot). I also hope that dinner meeting goes well.

Author's Response: Ves says: *snicker* Everyone hates Carissa so much. It’s like we wrote her to be so easily hateable…Hmmm…
Myn says: I wonder - could it be she's some sort of villain, or are we faking people out?

Omg I love this fic! It just gets better and better! *g* I love that they're forced to work together now, because Draco is right - their talents *are* quite complementary :) But I still love Narcissa best, she's such a kickass businesswoman, in this (and also, the idea of her pinching Draco's cheek made me laugh so hard). Fabulous chapter! Thank you for writing this awesome story!

Author's Response: Ves says: In my world, Narcissa delights in occasionally making Draco turn bright red and want the earth to swallow him. Tee hee!
Myn says: Well, it's a mother's duty, you know.

Wow. Ginny went from the P.A. who flashed the world and embarrassed her boss to Executive Director of Lush's new Couture line in less than 2 weeks. *gasps* (Although admittedly, my sense of timing is all warped because so much more time passes with me than with them)

I love the way Ginny cooly handles every situation thrown her way no matter how bizarre and scary it looks. I have a feeling she gets it from Molly. I'm not really that surprised that Narcissa promoted her even with her lack of experience.

Looks like Draco and Ginny are getting along (although they were getting on before with the press conference *sighs at Ginny getting comfort from Draco*). Is it naughty of me to wiggle my eyebrows suggestively at the super secret meeting at Ginny's apartment? :P

Looking forward to seeing how Ginny handles her new responsibilities and working closely with Draco. Great chapter! ^_^ You made my day by posting it.

Author's Response: Ves says: Narcissa is no fool – that promotion keeps the gossip rags and publicity wheels churning – which is never a bad thing. Plus, Ginny really is pretty bright and talented here. Wiggle those brows all you like. Lord knows we are!
Myn says: Yeah, Ginny might feel flustered, but she never lets anyone see her sweat. (I typed swear the first time. No, she definitely lets people not affiliated with the press hear her swear if they piss her off.)

Wonderfully charming as ever. Thanks.

Author's Response: Ves and Myn say: Aww – wonderfully charming! *squee* Glad you are enjoying and thanks for taking the time to review!

*does a victory dance* You two are the best! Not to mention sneaky! Here I thought they'd just be sneaking about dealing with the embezzlement thing not both promoted and working together! I can't believe I was ever worried about Ginny being demoted simply for the sake of the plot.
Now about this Friday dinner secret meeting...I figure you'll probably be both mean and nice to them. I'm personally hoping for a nice kiss somewhere in there, but given the continued Ginny-troubles of this fic, I figure someone has to crash it, and I can't decide which is worse, Carissa or one of the Weasleys. As always, I'm looking forward to seeing which of my musings are correct and which are the left field ones. -You know, if you guys ever do finish this and care to do some outtakes/bloopers or some such things, feel free to use some of my left field ideas ;) As to your question Myn, my birthday is in just over 3 weeks. But considering how I'm currently taking off time from my midterm Japanese essay to read & review, I figure you're in the same boat, and will count this as an early birthday treat. Good luck with your midterms!
And before I forget, what unfortunate incident in the break room? Will we be hearing more about said incident? *waggles eyebrows*
As to

Author's Response: Ves says: I think some of these “outtakes” or mentioned but not explained moments might have to be explored by people other than us. We shall see – Maybe this is the birth of the Lushverse – an entire little universe of related stories. I for one would be happy to see people fill in some of these blanks.
Myn says: I tried emailing you, I did! And I'm not sure what the incident in the breakroom was, because Draco just won't talk about it other than muttering something about "assault" and "shameless".
