Jemma was glad Mr. Shaw didn't seem to be a fan of paperwork, since she wasn't either. There was always too much of it in the Ministry, she found. Especially as a secretary, doing nothing but paperwork some days was one of the most boring things she could think of.
As he reeled off a list of jobs, she nodded. It seemed pretty standard. Schedule, letters, memos, blocking unwanted people. Until he mentioned 'less honest' tasks as he called them, involving 'lies and recovery'. She wasn't sure what to make of that, especially since he's voice seemed to alter, into a more sinister tone when he said it. Jemma made a mental note to be wary of things. She strongly believed in trust, honesty and loyalty. She wanted to keep her job, but didn't want to stray too far from what she believed to be right. She had been hearing rumours about the running of the Ministry. She had always defended the Ministry in the past, but that one sentence made her begin to question things in her mind. Whatever it meant, Jemma had a feeling that things were bound to get more complicated.
"Nothing I can think of this second." she answered, but then thought of something as soon as she said it. "Oh, actually just one thing, is there anything left from your past secretary, notes or anything like that?" Jemma wanted to be organised and knowing if there were any systems or anything in place would be helpful. Plus, she was kind of curious as to why his previous secretary was no longer with him.
