Chapter 62: Ten Thousand Lights Where He Appears
Walker Richter left his office with that statement and I took a deep breath, suddenly regretting signing the agreement a little bit, I felt like this was the pits.
But on second thought, I had no choice, and Walker Richter’s willingness to let me off the hook was the best possible outcome.
I went to report to the HR department, knocked on the door and went in, the HR manager, Megan Cai, was a woman in her thirties or so, with exquisite makeup and very competent short hair, I hadn’t had time to introduce myself, Megan Cai got up and said, “New to reporting for duty, right? Wait here first.”
From start to finish, Megan Cai just glanced at me lightly, and when she was done, she took her cell phone and wiggled her delicate figure out.
I found a seat and sat down, waited for almost ten minutes, a female condescendingly came in, early twenties, face with heavy makeup, dressed boldly and casually, removed the exaggerated sunglasses, eyes on me, index finger, very arrogant, said, “I’m here to report, hurry up to me for the entry formalities, sis is still busy.”
It was almost like a tone of command.
I was about to open my mouth to explain that I’m not from the HR department, the girl crossed her legs and sat down on the sofa, seeing that I didn’t move, impatiently urged, “What are you waiting for, do you know who I am sis, Gary Pull is my dad, I can come here to work because I think highly of you guys, hurry up and get me the entry procedure, I still have an appointment.”
Who Gary Pull is, I really don’t know.
I didn’t take offense, smiled and said, “Little sister, I’m here to report as well.”
“Who are you calling little sister.” The girl put her legs down, hands crossed, a completely spoiled child look: “Call me sister understand? Do you still want to mix here, believe it or not I make a phone call to let you even have no job …”
“Lory, you’re here.” Megan Cai pushed the door in, with a pleasing smile on her face, a far cry from the cold and frosty one she had just seen: “Just now, your father even called me to say that you’re coming to report today, and I was thinking of picking you up downstairs, but I didn’t expect you to come up on your own.”
“You’re Megan Cai?” the girl still had her eyes on top of her head and looked at Megan Cai with disdain and disgust, “Don’t try to please me, it’s impossible to be my stepmother.”
That’s a very informative statement.
Megan Cai blushed very hard, her smile stiffening at the corners of her mouth as she changed the subject, “Lory, I’d better check you in.”
The girl chewed gum in her mouth and grunted, clasping her hands and shaking her legs as she sized up Megan Cai, “Besides being young, you’re much harder to look at than my mom, I don’t know what Gary Pull sees in you, it’s a really deteriorating vision.”
Megan Cai face a burst of green and white, but did not dare to attack, face with a smile worse than crying, for the girl to handle the formalities of entry, “Lory, lunch together, as a celebration, your father he is busy after the completion of the will also be …”
“You two eat slowly, I’m afraid of getting sick.” The girl didn’t give a damn, took the entry form, glanced at me and left.
As soon as the girl left, Megan Cai couldn’t hold back, so furious that she lost her manners, she directly swept everything on the table to the floor, took out her cell phone and made a call, very aggrieved and cried, “Gary Pull, your daughter is too bullying, I kindly invited her to dinner, instead of appreciating it, she even humiliated me… …”
With what was presumably good-natured coaxing on the other side of the phone, the anger on Megan Cai’s face slowly dissipated, and she even laughed out loud, “That’s what you said, don’t fool me, I’ll see you tonight.”
Women are truly the best creatures to coax.
After hanging up the phone, Megan Cai noticed that there was another me in the office.
I smiled awkwardly, “Cai manager, can you get me started.”
Megan Cai resumed her cold-as-ice expression and handed me a pile of information, “Fill it out yourself.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
It’s true that there is a difference in treatment. The girl just now had her information filled out by Megan Cai herself.
Although I am “Mrs.” Walker Richter, not everyone in the company knows me, and I don’t try to make it clear that as of today, I am just a member of the Richter Group staff.
After completing the entry procedures, I remembered Walker Richter’s words and was a bit apprehensive and dilly-dallying. I never dared to go to Walker Richter’s office, but stayed in the secretary’s department all morning.
I don’t know if it was Walker Richter who had specifically explained that although the people in the secretarial department knew me, they didn’t appear to be complimentary, but they didn’t dare to let me do anything, they just let me sit on the sidelines to rest and play with the computer.
I saw Emily coming and whispered to her, “Is President Richter still in his office?”
“President Richter is in a meeting, Young Lady, you want to see President Richter?”
“It’s fine.” I can’t wait for Walker Richter to forget that I was late this morning, “Ah Alice, you see I’m kind of bored sitting here, why don’t you arrange something for me?”
Emily quickly shook her head, “Young Lady, how would I dare, and there’s nothing to do, so just sit here and rest.”
“Yes?” I glanced at the busy secretarial department.
Emily smiled resentfully, “Young Lady, I still have papers to deliver to President Richter, so I’ll get busy.”
After Emily left, I was bored and wanted to help do something, and each one of them covered up what they were holding, “Young lady, you rest, we’ll do this little thing.”
The morning went by, and the secretarial department was finished, some going to the cafeteria to eat, others meeting to go out to a restaurant.
I fiddled with the work card in my hand and finally opted to go to the cafeteria.
I can’t say enough about the food at the Richter Group – seafood and fruit.
I filled a plate full of rice and found a seat at the table.
I was in a hurry to squeeze into the subway in the morning and didn’t have time to eat, so I was really hungry and panicked, so I picked up my chopsticks and started to eat.
“It’s you again, I didn’t realize you were so skinny and ate so much.”
I looked up and there in front of me with a dinner plate was the same girl who had reported earlier.
I thought she was gone. I didn’t think she’d come to the cafeteria to eat.
I politely asked, “Want to join me, little sister?”
“Who’s the little sister, my name is Lory Pull, call me Sister Luo from now on, you hear me.” Lory Pull sat down with an air of a big sister.
“These days are not all popular to pretend to be young, the first time I saw to pretend to be old.” I don’t care about her, it’s just a rebellious child.
“I want you to care.” Lory Pull huffed, “My dad is Gary Pull, if you flatter me, I’ll cover you in the future, so you can walk sideways in the company, no one dares to bully you, or else a newcomer like you won’t know what kind of bullied by those people.”
A mouthful, but a pretty good heart.
I smiled, “Thanks for the kind words, but I’m already covered.”
“Who?” The color of Lory Pull’s eyes when he looked at me changed immediately, a particularly despised kind, “I didn’t think that you were also someone who relied on a man to get to the top, and that you do other people’s lovers as well.”
At that, I almost spit out a mouthful of rice.
Just then, the roaring cafeteria fell suddenly silent, followed by the rising and falling voices, “Hello President Richter.”
When I turned around, I saw Walker Richter, who had been swarmed in.
