Chapter 27 I Have Children âThatâs right. Ever since Mr. Frank told us youâd join us, weâve been looking forward to it. At long last!â
âMs. York, Iâm your fan. Please remember me!â
âMs. York, Iâm from the same school as you, but Iâm your junior. Remember me too! Iâm Six!â
âGo away, Six. Ms. York, notice me! Iâm Three.â
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, âThey like to use code names to address one another. Itâs according to the order of which they joined the team.â
After hearing his explanation, Arissa nodded understandingly and introduced herself, âHello, everyone. Iâm Arissa York.â
âWelcome, welcome!â
Everyone was very friendly. âHaha! Our department has a beauty now. Ms. Yorkâs beauty is for sure able to make the others pale in comparison. The other departments will be green with envy!â
âMs. York, do you have a boyfriend?â
âMs. York, you can consider me if you donât!â
âGet lost, loser. Ms. York should consider me first!â
Arissa watched their antics and was amused by them. âSorry, but I already have children!â I donât even have a boyfriend, but I do have kids.
Everyoneâs eyes widened in surprise.
âNo way. Ms. York, you have kids?â
âMs. York, youâre so young. I canât tell.â
Arissa laughed and said, âI gave birth when I was young.â
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.
âThatâs enough. Look at the lot of you, getting all riled up. Get back to work. Donât scare her away!â Ethen gestured for the crowd to disperse.
âMs. York, weâll treat you to a meal later!â they all said to her.
âIâm afraid I canât make it today. I still have things to attend to, and I need to leave in a bit. Iâll officially start tomorrow, so Iâll treat you all to a meal then!â
She was their superior, and it would not be appropriate for her to let them pay.
âOkay!â
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.
âI still need to go over the procedures, right? Iâll do it now and officially start work tomorrow.â
Arissa wanted to get everything settled on the day itself.
âNo rush. The contract isnât done yet, so you can leave first.â
Ethen saw that she was busy, so he was in no rush to run over the procedures with her.
âOkay. In that case, Iâll sign the contract once itâs done. Iâll be taking my leave then!â She shook his hand and continued, âIâll treat you some other day!â
She would not have thought about going back there if it was not for him.
âI should be the one treating you since your arrival will lighten my burden.â
Arissaâs addition to the company meant that he no longer had to worry about recruitment as she was a perfect fit. âIâll send you off, Ms. York.â
She laughed and said goodbye to the rest, âIâll be leaving first!â
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 26 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You 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.
âTheyâre always like that. I hope that youâll get used to it soon. If you need anything, you can let them know or you can just text them in the group!â
