Chapter 5 Work
Early the next day, Annabelle reported for duty at Yun Rui Corp.
The company staffs treated her with the outmost respect, which only made sense considering her distinguished qualifications.
"Miss Xia, luckily the weather is on our side today, it's like the sun itself is welcoming you to our company. I am pleased to offer you our heartiest welcome!" Madam Chung from the HR department extended her friendly handshake, "I must say I am surprised by your young age. And may I say, you are absolutely gorgeous!"
Annabelle responded affectionately with a sweet smile, "Thank you for the kind words Madam Chung. I can only imagine the exceeding hard work and capabilities to claim the position of manager at your young age!"
Madam Chung let out a jovial laugh, "Let's go, I'll bring you to the Design Department, or the DOD.
Annabelle bowed gently and followed closely as Madam Chung took her towards the DOD.
Once they entered the premise, Madam Chung clapped her hands to get everyone's attention, "Everyone please. If I could have your attention please. You have a new co-worker today"
When everyone shifted their attention to the newcomer, Madam Chung announced, "Allow me to introduce Miss Annabelle, she just got back from London and from today onwards she will be part of your team!"
Members of the department stared fervently at Annabelle. Be it men or women, their eyes could not help but notice this dazzling beauty. Annabelle was wearing a classical strapless dress that accentuated her slender frame, along with a gold-embroidered sash about her waist and simple but elegant necklace around her neck.
She stood humbly and gracefully, meeting all the new faces with a kind smile. Her attitude made the team love her even more.
As Madam Chung signaled her, Annabelle took a few steps forward. With a bright and pleasant voice, she bowed and said, "Hello everyone, I am Annabelle. I am delighted to make your acquaintance and I look forward to working with all of you!"
"Welcome to the DoD," someone impulsively yelled.
"Oh yes! Another beauty joining the DoD!" another male colleague good naturally added.
Madam Chung and Annabelle both laughed. "Yeah that's right, the DoD is like a modeling agency." Madam Chung said and got a laugh from the rest of the department.
Then, Madam Chung waved to call one of the ladies in the department, "Covi, Annabelle is our newbie here. You are going to do her orientation."
Covi was also fashionably dressed, shrouding her petite figure in a sack-like print dress with pink stripes.
"Roger that!" she replied.
After a short chat, Madam Chung finished by reminding Annabelle to report to the President by the end of the day.
Annabelle nodded in affirmation.
"Carry on with your good work everyone. Now, I have some other work to get done."
"Yes Madam."
Annabelle had now officially joined the Yun Rui Corp.
Covi was diligent and helpful, making the transitioning processes as smooth as butter.
"Thank you so much Covi!" Annabelle sincerely expressed her gratitude.
"You are most welcome. Should you need any help, just ask!" Covi replied cheerfully.
"Will do!"
"Alright, do carry on. I will go back to work now."
"Sure, see you around."
"Ciao-"
Both of them returned to their respective desks and begun their work. Annabelle carefully scanned around, and she was more than satisfied with her new workplace and office environment. And so, her new work routine had begun.
When it was noon time, Covi approached and invited her for lunch.
"Annabelle, want to grab some lunch together? I'll show you around!" "Yes please!"
And the both of them took off leisurely to the cafeteria.000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
