Chapter 11: New Colleague in the Company

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After dropping off Millie, Mike and I hurried to the office. Today was not just Millie’s first day, but also my first day at FB. Yesterday, I was so nervous that I didn’t sleep well, and I kept imagining my first day at work. It was the same now. Looking at me, Mike reached out and took my hand.

“It’s okay, don’t be nervous. Don’t forget I’m here.”

“Um… Mike, I think we should stay away from each other at the office. I’m worried people will gossip.”

“Okay, but you don’t have to think so much. Everyone will see your outstanding working abilities soon.”

Hopefully.

“Oh, right, according to the company’s rules, there will be a welcome party for the newcomers after work today.”

“Ah, well, can I not go? You know, I have to go back and take care of Millie.”

“Um… I don’t think it’s a good idea not to go. After all, it’s for your welcome party.”

“I see. Then I’ll talk to Mom and ask her to pick up Millie for me.”

“Hello, my name is Leo. From today on, we will be partners. Welcome to FB!”

I had just sat down at my desk when a hand suddenly reached out from the side. I looked up and saw that it was a young handsome man. I was lucky.

“Hi, my name is Melanda. Nice to meet you!” I took Leo’s hand. His hand was warm, and his nails were neatly trimmed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll cover for you!” Leo winked at me. “What do you want for coffee?”

“Latte please. Thanks.”

Soon, it was lunch time. Leo had given me a lot of company, department information, and some information on ongoing projects. I was tense as I became familiar with the place, and before I knew it, it was lunch time.

“Come, I’ll take you to familiarize yourself with the company’s canteen.” The enthusiastic Leo appeared just in time. Good. My nervousness had dissipated a lot with such an enthusiastic partner.

As expected of FB’s canteen. The canteen alone took up a whole floor and had three take-out areas. Each take-out area had a lot of different types of cuisine and all sorts of drinks. I was dazzled by what I saw. Fortunately, I had Leo with me. I had to say, this guide was too professional.

“Hi, Leo, you look so handsome today!” A beautiful woman saw Leo and her eyes immediately lit up.

“I know. I’m very handsome every day.” He was not humble at all.

“Leo, you promised to help me look at my computer today. I waited for you this morning but you didn’t come. What were you doing?” The beautiful woman looked unhappy.

“I’ve been busy. This is Melanda, our department’s new senior designer. This is our company’s most beautiful receptionist, Shirley.”

“Hello, Shirley.” So she was the front desk receptionist. They would have to interact with each other at work in the future. She had to pay her respects.

“Hello, Melanda. No wonder you’re ignoring me. It turns out that there’s a beautiful lady here.” Shirley said in a teasing tone, but I could hear the jealousy in her voice. It seemed that Shirley was interested in Leo.

“Can you come in the afternoon? My computer is as slow as a cow,” Shirley asked persistently.

“This… if you are really in a hurry, you can find a logistician. They are more professional than me.” It seemed that Leo was not very concerned.

“The logisticians… There’s no point in mentioning them. They don’t know what I want either.”

“Got it, I’ll go over when I have time,” Leo replied casually.

As everyone talked, we found seats to sit down for the meal. At that moment, I saw a familiar figure walk over. “Don’t stop, please.” But it seemed that Mike’s telepathy with me was not very sensitive. He walked straight over and sat beside me.

“How is it? The food in the canteen is delicious, isn’t it?” He looked concerned, but I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles.

“Yeah, it’s good. There’s a lot of variety,” I answered truthfully. Leo, who was sitting across from me, gave me a thoughtful look after greeting Mike and then focused on his plate of food.

When we were almost done eating, Mike suddenly said to Shirley, “Are you free tonight? The design department is holding a welcome party for Melanda. Come with us!”

“Okay, okay. I’ll definitely come!” I knew that she would not give up such a good opportunity..
