[No one could call Morgan weak-willed, so the fact that he needs every last drop of willpower he possesses to keep his expression schooled and neutral says a heck of a lot indeed. But somehow he does manage, offering only a polite nod.]
Ma'am.
[But it's a game they both have to play though, right? Both at the moment and in ordinarily life; her on the stage or in interviews or whatnot, him in the board room or during some sort of negotiations. Just one more reason they relate well, and why he enjoys talking to her so much once they'd gotten past their professional masks. All that experience comes in handy now, since he doesn't so much as twitch on stepping in, nor does he slam the door hastily behind him.]
[Only when it's finally shut and the illusion complete does he finally break into the huge grin he's been suppressing all this time, yanking the sunglasses off so he can get a proper, unobstructed view of her. No more pretending here! Especially since saying an actual word means he has to swallow and put some effort into getting it past his nervous excitement.]
