Malachi looked at Natasha, this was the last person he wanted to walk into this room. This was a very, very bad situation. Horrible timing, and he didn't doubt the things that she would do if she walked over here and saw Ariel crouched below the desk. It would be pretty damn obvious what she was doing down there. It actually took an effort on his part not to react to Ariel fixing his clothes and touching him, his body sure reacted. To make sure it wasn't noticed either, though Natasha had only glanced at him and was looking over Ariel's desk.
"She just stepped out for a second. She left the papers on her desk for you to sign."
