Had had given Chord's assistant a warm smile and nod when she told her that he would see her. When she stepped in to his office and had made her customary look around. She smiled at Chord when he asked if she wanted something to drink. "No, thank you though." She could smell Brandon's scent as she moved to sit down. "Brandon was just here." Compassion and concern could be heard in her voice. "I have only known him for a few days now but I know he has a good heart." She paused for a few moments. Then her attention focused on Chord.

? ?"I wanted to come and apologize for my actions and also let you know that I do take responsibility for them during the testing. I screwed up. We all did in some way." She took a deep breath. "I also wanted to let you know that I really care about Brandon. I am not that kind of one night stand girls. He really does value what you think and feel. Though he probably has trouble showing it. That being said I want you to know that I plan on still seeing him. I want to see where this is going."?

At Kat’s words, Chord smiled then came to walk around to the other side of the desk. He perched on the edge and said?

“My explanation yesterday might not have been clearly understood especially since yesterday emotions were on high on all our parts. As team mentor, my apology. I take full responsibility for that.?

“My intention for today was to get an understanding of the mindset of the team and your ability to trust the direction of myself and Harrison even even if you don’t completely agree and if was possible to have a salvageable working relationship. I take full responsibility for the unfortunate fact that neither the former or the later seemed possible.

“I do want to let you know that what I saw was impressive. You all seemed to have a knack for this work. You abilities during the obstacle course Kat showed that you have a very bright future ahead of you if you decided to continue with this kind of work. I just implore you, do not try to do it on your own. It’s dangerous. Please get some formal training. Promise me that if you continue you will do so.” He said leveling her with a stern look.

As for Brandon is concern, he is a grown man. I placed no prerequisites for caveats on his love life. What you to do in your private life is your business and you both have my blessing if you want to explore this relationship. just keep in mind that I’m the dad. I’m easy. it is his mother and his sister that you may have to negotiate” he said with a wink.
