Beckham's already grinning the second he spots them, as though he already knows what's coming. He leans down and patiently holds his head out for them until they kiss him. "How sweet of you!" He cooed, gently placing his right hand (with it's red heart-shaped mark) over his heart. "You know, typically, I'd be giving you some lecture about how you need all kinds of super special authorization to be up here- but, I'll let Reid know to make an exception for you." He smiled and waved as he stepped back into his office, with Reid himself soon leaving it.
He silently regarded them with tired eyes from beyond a clipboard in his hands. After a second of studying them visually, he spoke almost monotonously, his voice deprived of both joy and agitation. "Hello." He began, "Welcome to Forthman Ind--" His impending spiel was interrupted by their kiss, which seemed to fully shift his demeanor. His cheeks flushed red as his eyebrow raised. "I. Um, well. We...." He ran a hand through his slicked-back hair, causing a streak of red to shine through his black hair. He then lowered the clipboard onto a nearby desk, freeing up his hand to straighten his already perfect tie. "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave. We look forward to seeing you again." With that, he led them to an elevator, and sent them down to the building's lobby.
The elevator stopped once on it's way down. It was already considerably late, and most others had gone home by this point- but the doors opened up in one of the offices to let in a rail-thin pathetic excuse of a man that silently took his place next to them. Though his body swayed and head nodded down to the floor as the elevator continued to descend, he occasionally looked over to them and attempted to keep a slightly nervous smile on his face. He reached a hand out to them after a second of hesitation. "Are you new, too? Um, I'm Donovan-" He clearly had more to say, but cut himself off early. His smile twitched, as though he was afraid he'd already said something wrong. He stood frozen like this for a moment- long enough for them to give one final kiss. When they pulled away, his smile had been completely replaced by a look of confusion. By the time the elevator doors dinged open, though, it had returned, now appearing much more calm under his red cheeks. "Um. Okay." He muttered to himself. "Okay. Okay. Okay." He continued quietly chanting as he stumbled out to his car in the near-empty parking lot.
