Chapter 498 Old Acquaintance Emily
It was obvious that the trumpet belonged to Vincent
Otherwise, I couldn't think of anyone who would be so persistent in the middle of the night to add me as a friend. After countless rejections, I looked at Aaron sleeping beside me and gritted my teeth as I clicked "accept"
"What exactly did you want to do?"
I didn't ask who was on the other side, but directly questioned in this tone. Firstly, because I felt that I didn't need to be polite to that scumbag Vincent, and secondly, no matter who is on the other side, continuously sending friend requests to others in the middle of the night 1s
also very impolite!
But the person on the other side seemed completely oblivious to my anger, as his calm and unhurried voice continued to come through the chat box: "I just heard recently that you returned to the country and wanted to check on how you've been. After all, it's been many years since we last saw each other, and with all the commotion surrounding the Morris family in the past few days, as an old friend, I am genuinely concerned about you."
I think Vincent's self-proclaimed title is simply an insult to the term "old friend."
"As you can see, I lived well."
After uttering the last sentence, I quickly deleted and blocked this account in order to prevent him from saying anything else that
could affect my good mood for tomorrow when I go to the new company to complete the onboarding process
Fortunately, there were no more strange sounds coming from my phone afterwards. The next morning, I arrived at the new company's building on time
The mood today is completely different from the last time I was here. I am filled with a sense of excitement as I am about to embark on a new journey in the workplace. From the moment I entered the building, I greeted a few familiar faces I had seen before. When J arrived at the personnel department on the fifth floor to complete the procedures, the person in charge generously praised my good spirits today, completely washing away the not-so-pleasant mood I had last night
And because my position was department head, on the first day of work, I needed to familiarize myself with all the departments around me
Therefore, I didn't have time to think about other things. I spent the morning rotating 1n various offices, introducing myself, which was quite fulfilling
But what I didn't expect was that, as noon approached, I followed the leader to the office floor of the technology research and development department, and among the staff who welcomed me, I unexpectedly saw a very familiar face - Emily Grey
If it weren't for her standing right in front of me, with the same surprised expression in her eyes, I would have doubted whether I had hallucinated anything related to Vincent's harassment last night
However, Emily's surprise did not last long. She continued to look down on everyone, just like before, with a haughty expression. She arrogantly scrutinized me until my colleagues enthusiastically surrounded me and introduced themselves. Only then did her gaze shift slightly, but her face had already become somewhat gloomy
To be honest, after my thoughts returned, I was somewhat curious
Miss Emily, like a young lady from a wealthy family, should have at least learned management in her own family's subsidiary company, even if she didn't immediately return to inherit the family business after graduating from school
But how could she work in a company that 1s completely unrelated to the Grey family's industry?
Moreover, her position did not seem high, she was just a junior staff responsible for technology, and it didn't look like she was arranged by her father
And if she was still with Vincent, her gloomy expression when she looked at me just now might have been because she knew about Vincent contacting me last night
I never thought that after so many years, I would have any intersection with this couple again, and they would still make my life a bit worse
However, when it was Emily's turn to introduce herself to me, she wasn't as crazy as I remembered her impression to be. Although she didn't seem very polite, luckily she didn't immediately question why I was here
"We are actually old acquaintances, I never

She looked around for a moment and finally fixed her gaze on me, rolling her eyes. Then, with a fake smile, she told her colleagues that she had known me for a long time
To be honest, I still felt a bit uncomfortable because of her tone, but after all, it was a completely new work environment, and I didn't need to leave a bad impression on my colleagues and leaders on the first day because of her
So I pretended not to hear her displeasure in her words and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's been many years since we last met, Emily. How have you been?"
I reached out my hand to her in a friendly gesture, and Emily accidentally touched a soft
nail. She seemed momentarily stunned, but under the gaze of our colleagues, she had no choice but to shake hands with me as I suggested. However, her expression remained defiant as always
But I didn't care, I just wanted to quickly go through these procedures and make her disappear from my sight, so that she wouldn't go crazy and ruin my wonderful First Day at this company
