“Melina Patel…”
Jim looked at Melina’s resume and put it back on the desk in front of Austen. He smiled and said, “Mr. Stewart, don’t worry!”
After saying that, Jim quickly returned to his desk and turned on his computer to start making preparations.
About three minutes later.
“What?”
In the office building, in a spacious and bright open-style office, Melina looked at the team activity notification that suddenly popped up on the computer screen. She was stunned at first, then her face was full of joy.
To her, it was good news that the company she worked in as an intern was going to hold a welcome banquet!
As an intern and a university student, building social relationships was often difficult when she had just entered a new company. Some old employees liked to press newcomers, and there was competition between newcomers. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
The welcome banquet held by the company just happened to be a chance for Melina to build ties with her colleagues. In addition to that, she could eat, drink, and play with them. Therefore, she thought it was a good thing!
“Melina.”
Not far away, a beautiful middle-aged female colleague walked over in high heels. She chuckled and said to Melina, “Are you going to the team activity tonight? I heard that your brother-in-law came to play with you? Do you want to take leave?”
Melina stuck out her tongue and giggled. “Helen Wagner, I don’t dare to ask for leave. The higher-ups have said that all the new employees who come to the internship must participate. My brother-in-law is not in a hurry. He is not a child. He can take care of himself!”
“Well, that makes sense!”
Helen covered her mouth with a smile, then glanced at Melina’s innocent little face a few more times. After that, she twisted her slender waist to return to her workplace.
The other side.
Jorge had just set off from Ocean City and taken a flight to City J. Before boarding the plane, he sent a message to Melina. “Melina, the flight time has been confirmed. It’s 8:30 PM.” novelxo.com fast update
Melina looked at her phone and quickly replied, “Well, I see. If I have time, I’ll pick you up!”
Just as the text message was sent out, an incomparably joyous cry rang out in the office. “It’s time to get off work! Everyone, hurry up and pack up. Let’s have a feast tonight. Our boss is treating!”
Melina was quick and agile. She immediately saved the work documents, turned off her computer, and walked out of the office with some trainees and a dozen old employees.
Until around eight in the evening.
More than thirty employees of the Austen Gasoline and Electricity Company walked out of a five-star hotel in City J.
During the entire banquet, the atmosphere was unusually lively. Melina was thinking about picking up Jorge. She did not drink much during the banquet. As soon as she walked out of the hotel, she immediately waved her hand and said goodbye to her colleagues.
“Everyone, enjoy your time. I will go first. My brother-in-law’s flight will land tonight. I have to go and pick him up!”
After that, she bowed to Austen and Jim, then waved at Helen, who had the best relationship with her so far in the company. After that, she turned to leave.
Austen thought, ‘How can you leave now? Do you think you can leave now?’ The moment Melina turned around, Austen narrowed his eyes and gave Helen a hint.
“Melina!”
Helen knew what Austen meant and quickly caught up to Melina. She pulled Melina’s arm and said warmly, “We are so happy today. Don’t ruin everyone’s mood! Let your brother-in-law take a taxi and find a hotel to stay in. Let’s sing! I know a newly opened singing bar that is not far from here. The sound system there is really good!”
As she spoke, Helen turned to look at Austen and chuckled. “Mr. Stewart, tonight is the team activity. You can’t be stingy with our expenses at the singing bar!”
“Of course, all the expenses tonight will be recoverable from the company!”
Austen looked at Melina’s delicate body, his eyes full of desire. He quickly adjusted his expression and said elegantly, “However, we won’t be going to the newly opened singing bar that you mentioned just
now. Our company has a fixed cooperative entertainment place, which is not far from the airport. Let’s play and relax there. We won’t delay Melina picking up her brother-in-law. It will be a perfect plan for both of us!”
Melina hesitated for a moment. “But…”
“Hey, no buts!”
Helen quickly wrapped her arms around Melina’s shoulders and waved at her colleagues. “Everyone, get in the car. Let’s go sing at the singing bar!”
Then, Austen, Jim, and a large group of company employees all got in the company’s car.
“Well, alright!”
With a helpless expression on her face, Melina had no choice but to get in the car with Helen. She then took out her phone from her bag and quickly typed a message.
“Are you going to send a message to your brother-in-law?”
Helen sat next to Melina and chuckled. “Your brother-in-law hasn’t landed yet. Am I right? He’s on the plane. He won’t receive any text messages from you. Stop sending it!”
Melina stuck out her tongue and giggled. “It’s fine. He will receive it when he lands.”
Helen frowned slightly as if she wanted to say something more.
However, Melina’s hand speed was very fast, and the edited text message was sent successfully, “Jorge, the company has a team activity tonight. I don’t know when it will be finished. I can’t pick you up. You can find a hotel and stay there. I will take a day off to play with you tomorrow!”
After sending the message, Melina breathed a sigh of relief. She chatted and laughed with her colleagues. The company’s car sped toward the Grandecstasy KTV
