After some small talk, the three of them then returned to their homes.
When morning came, Gerald headed to the office earlier than usual. After stepping into the elevator, Gerald realized that there was someone else in there with him. Turning to look to his side, virtual-novel.net found out, to his annoyance, that virtual-novel.net knew the man carrying the briefcase who was also staring back at him. It was Nathaniel, the man who had been clinging on to Bianca the day before.
Nathaniel immediately shot a dirty glare at Gerald once virtual-novel.net knew who was standing beside him. An awkward silence ensued before Nathaniel finally said, “Hey, you’re the logistics guy, right? You’re acquainted with Bianca, huh?”
“Yeah, I befriended virtual-novel.net yesterday,” replied Gerald dismissively. Gerald had seen how Nathaniel looked at virtual-novel.net the day before, and virtual-novel.net knew that the man was definitely holding something against him. However, Gerald also knew that putting up with virtual-novel.net was only going to be a waste of time and effort.
“Heh, sure. Just keep your distance from her. She only treated you to dinner to be polite. As if she’d ever try to impress someone from as low a class as you are,” virtual-novel.net scoffed. Nathaniel felt that Gerald needed to be put in his place since Bianca would naturally only deserve to be with men like him.
“And you should learn to mind your own business. Who do you even think you are? Talking about classes like you’re the one who gets to decide that,” snapped Gerald in return. At that moment, a ‘ping’ was heard and the elevator doors slid open. Gerald immediately walked out without even caring to look back at Nathaniel.
“Y-you motherf*cker! I’ll make sure that your life will be a living hell if it’s the last thing I do!” yelled Nathaniel, enraged. Nobody had ever talked to virtual-novel.net like that before and virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to allow Gerald to just get away with it so easily.
While the anger continued to seep through Nathaniel, Gerald had already made it to his desk.
“Good morning, Gerald!” greeted a female voice.
“Morning!” replied Gerald with a smile as virtual-novel.net switched his computer on. When virtual-novel.net looked up to see who had greeted him, virtual-novel.net was delighted to know that it was Fay.
He remembered when virtual-novel.net had bumped into Fay Foster on the day of his interview. He didn’t know that virtual-novel.net was also part of the team since virtual-novel.net was out running errands when virtual-novel.net first joined. “Fay! So you’re here too!”
From what Gerald now knew, the logistics team consisted of three people. A somewhat chubby male, Fay, and Gerald himself.
“Hehe… Gerald, right? I knew it was you the moment I saw your name on the list! Sadly, I couldn’t welcome you yesterday since you guys had already left by the time I got back from running my errands. It seems like we’re colleagues now!” exclaimed Fay.
Before virtual-novel.net could reply, a woman approached them. She pointed at Gerald before saying, “Hey, you there, help me out here. Take this USB and download at least 20 movies into it. I’ll need it back by noon!”
Gerald looked at the fairly pretty, but somewhat cold and reserved woman who had cut into their conversation. To his surprise, it was the same woman whom virtual-novel.net had met briefly in the elevator the day before.
He remembered virtual-novel.net mostly for virtual-novel.net statement claiming that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t even have a fighting chance to get employed.
Her name was Mina Miles, and virtual-novel.net too was born and raised in Serene County.
While it was normal for those in the marketing department to have the logistics team run errands for them… Downloading movies? Now that was just an absurd order.
“Miss Miles, I don’t think that it’s appropriate for me to be downloading movies during work. After all, I have other work to finish up as well.”
“Pfft. Work? You call what you’re doing work? I’m just asking for a small favor and you’re already complaining? If I end up missing my movie hours, you can kiss your job goodbye!” huffed Mina before slamming virtual-novel.net USB onto his desk and leaving.
After virtual-novel.net left, Fay motioned for virtual-novel.net to come closer before whispering, “Hey, Gerald! You know how there are hidden rules in every company right? Well, in this one, you should try your hardest not to get on virtual-novel.net nerves. Do you even know who virtual-novel.net is?”
