You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 27

“That’s right. Ever since Mr. Frank told us you’d join us, we’ve been looking forward to it. At long last!” “Ms. York, I’m your fan. Please remember me!” “Ms. York, I’m from the same school as you, but I’m your junior. Remember me too! I’m Six!” “Go away, Six. Ms. York, notice me! I’m Three.”

There were more than ten of them, and they were all talented IT people with their own unique skills. Arissa could not tell who was who in such a short time, so she merely smiled adoringly at her colleagues. Ethen explained, “They like to use code names to address one another.

It’s according to the order of which they joined the team.” After hearing his explanation, Arissa nodded understandingly and introduced herself, “Hello, everyone. I’m Arissa York.” “Welcome, welcome!” Everyone was very friendly. “Haha! Our department has a beauty now. Ms. York’s beauty is for sure able to make the others pale in comparison. The other departments will be green with envy!” “Ms. York, do you have a boyfriend?”

“Ms. York, you can consider me if you don’t!” “Get lost, loser. Ms. York should consider me first!” Arissa watched their antics and was amused by them. “Sorry, but I already have children!” I don’t even have a boyfriend, but I do have kids. Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. “No way.

Ms. York, you have kids?” “Ms. York, you’re so young. I can’t tell.” Arissa laughed and said, “I gave birth when I was young.” Ethen, too, was taken aback. He did not expect her to have children as her resume stated that she was single. Could it be that she gave birth before marriage?

At that thought, Ethen secretly felt sorry for her. I wonder which jerk took advantage of her. “That’s enough. Look at the lot of you, getting all riled up. Get back to work. Don’t scare her away!” Ethen gestured for the crowd to disperse. “Ms. York, we’ll treat you to a meal later!” they all said to her.

“I’m afraid I can’t make it today. I still have things to attend to, and I need to leave in a bit. I’ll officially start tomorrow, so I’ll treat you all to a meal then!” She was their superior, and it would not be

appropriate for her to let them pay. “Okay!” Everyone laughed and did not have any objections. The atmosphere was lively. They slowly dispersed after greeting her and got back to their tasks.

Arissa was initially worried that the environment there would be solemn. Unexpectedly, she was wrong. It was very upbeat and casual. Thus, she was already looking forward to starting her new job. “I still need to go over the procedures, right? I’ll do it now and officially start work tomorrow.”

Arissa wanted to get everything settled on the day itself. “No rush. The contract isn’t done yet, so you can leave first.” Ethen saw that she was busy, so he was in no rush to run over the procedures with her. “Okay. In that case, I’ll sign the contract once it’s done.

I’ll be taking my leave then!” She shook his hand and continued, “I’ll treat you some other day!” She would not have thought about going back there if it was not for him. “I should be the one treating you since your arrival will lighten my burden.” Arissa’s addition to the company meant that he no longer had to worry about recruitment as she was a perfect fit. “I’ll send you off, Ms. York.” She laughed and said goodbye to the rest, “I’ll be leaving first!” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

No one responded as they were all working with their earphones on. She would have felt awkward if it was not for the warm welcome she received just now. Noticing her awkwardness, Ethen chuckled. “They’re always like that. I hope that you’ll get used to it soon. If you need anything, you can let them know or you can just text them in the group!”
