"Well... I see you need time to think about my question, how about you wait in the reception area," he guided the young man out the door. "You can get a cup of coffee from the machine, though it isn't very good. And there are some magazines on the table there..."
Taking a moment to glance at the applicants who had returned from their tasks, he nodded.
"I will get to you next, first I need to clear the new applicants." He motioned to Keller, "you, please come in, and have a seat."
Once the door was closed again, Khan had taken his seat in the large armchair and was again stirring a cup of tea.
