drabble_zoneSummary: Yvonne always knew Ianto was destined to be more than just a junior researcher. A double drabble.
‘And here is your coffee,’ Ianto announced, stepping into Yvonne’s office with the heavenly smelling brew. ‘Nice to have things back to normal,’ he added.
Yvonne looked up and smiled. ‘I couldn’t have put it better myself,' she agreed. 'Although, there are a few little things that have come to my attention whilst I’ve been playing catch-up on the mess Rachael Allen made of things.’
‘Such as?’
Yvonne’s mouth curled at the corner. ‘Oh, no need to be coy, Ianto. You’ve had a promotion while I've been gone. Junior field agent and senior head of department. And a nice little remuneration bonus while you were at it.’
Ianto squirmed at the statement. ‘I didn’t ask for it, It was Rachael.’
‘Of course it was,’ she acknowledged.
‘I can go back to my old pay, if that helps,’ he offered.
Yvonne picked up the coffee and sipped it. 'Don't be silly. I always knew someday you’d be someone important around here. You're my go to person, Ianto. The one person I can rely on when things are at their worst.’
He flushed at the compliment. ‘Just trying to do what’s right.’
Yvonne nodded. ‘And Rachael Allen was so very, very wrong.’
