May formally started her work in the Secretarial Office of IP&G Group headquarters.
In fact, she applied for a job in the famous Gordon Hotel owned by IP&G Group, but she failed.
"Christina, you don't have to accompany me this time." May's new job was just an insignificant
secretary.
Last time, she decided to return to her former career and focus on her own life again.
However, when she went to Gordon Hotel for an interview, she saw that several interviewers in front of
her were so nervous that they repeatedly wiped their sweat.
It was just an ordinary interview. She was applying for the position of VIP customer service manager in
the hotel restaurant department.
She thought that such an ordinary position shouldn't be popular.
She told Christina in advance that instead of asking Christina to do her a favor, she indeed wanted to
apply for the job on her own. However, she didn't expect thousands of people to interview for this job.
More surprisingly, on the day of the interview, Christina appeared at the scene with Patrick.
This led to the senior executives' showing up.
There was no time for her to introduce herself to the interviewers. She was directly called in by
Christina which made others jealous.
She smoothly got the offer and even the senior executives were super nice to her.
After working for a week, she finally couldn't bear the special treatment.
"I think I'd better change my profession and get another job."
She was a new employee, but the executive director and general manager of Gordon Hotel offered to
drive her home every day. The senior executives even asked her to have lunch at the VIP area. She
even didn't need to work since her colleagues were always eager to help her.
She was not an employee. She was treated as a mascot.
"Christina, it's all your fault. You've ruined May's job again."
Hearing about it, Charles immediately came to Hopkins family to teach Christina a lesson.
"I didn't mean it. I was worried that May would be bullied. I spent the whole night begging Patrick to go
to Gordon Hotel with me."
Christina also knew that she ruined May's job out of kindness.
After all, she had very limited work experience.
At last, they decided to let May work in the IP&G headquarters. May would interview for a secretary by
herself while Christina wouldn't get involved.
Without Christina, May successfully got her job without any special treatment.
May had never worked as a secretary before, but she was modest and good at learning. After half a
month, she gradually adapted to the job in the Secretarial Office of IP&G Group.
Christina did not show up during the process, but she had told the senior executives about May in
advance. Although not knowing who introduced May to the job, May's colleagues were all smart and
they got along well with May. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Let's go to the Japanese restaurant together at noon. I have a coupon."
"I'm having an upset stomach these days and can't eat anything raw or cold. Shall we go to another
restaurant?"
"Then let's have some Cantonese food."
May soon became friends with them.
(I now have lunch with my colleagues. My job is stable and my life is well-behaved. Working as a
secretary in IP&G Group was wonderful and more relaxed compared with my previous job as a
waitress in a restaurant. Starting work at nine and getting off work at five, I'm free for the rest of the
time. There's no pressure, which is fantastic.)
Perhaps having too much spare time, they liked to gossip with each other.
"Mr. Shepherd came up today to talk about the project. He also brought two boxes of Japanese
pastries to us."
"What? I went out to negotiate the contract this morning and there was even nothing left."
"It's not my fault. There are too many people and few pastries." Everyone laughed.
May laughed as she listened. She found that they talked about Charles most frequently here. She was
wondering why they rarely talked about the president of IP&G Group.
Suddenly, a woman with short hair whispered, "I hear from Amy who works on the top floor that Mr.
Hopkins is not in a good mood today."
"The latest information is that Mr. Shepherd's wife didn't come to deliver his lunch today. He just
starved."
The eyes of the eight women at the table twinkled. They looked excited but did not dare to speak too
loudly.
"Don't say it loud! We can chat in our WhatsApp group. Be careful when speaking since walls have
ears. It's lunchtime now and there are too many people."
Only then did May realize that they even had a WhatsApp group for the company's gossip.
Compared to her previous work, the current job is much more relaxed. She used to work in a restaurant
where customers were the top priority and the work pace was extremely fast. But now she started work
at nine and got off work at five in a regular routine.
"May, did you get the job with someone's help?" One of the female colleagues, who was closer to May,
carefully asked.
May did not hide and said, "Yes."
The colleague smiled awkwardly, not daring to speak frankly.
"In fact, most of us get our job with others' help. But we still have to work hard. Those people who work
in the Secretarial Office on the top floor consider us to be incompetent. In the future, if we can get a
promotion, we will be gold collar workers with an annual salary of thousands of dollars."
"You're right. People at the Secretarial Office on the top floor are so proud because they often go on
business trips with Mr. Hopkins while we rarely see him all year round."
Employees in a large company would automatically be divided into several grades.
Everyone wanted to be in higher positions.
"May, you are now a member of our group. Don't tell anyone else our secrets in the future, or we will be
plotted against easily."
May smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After working for half a month, she was finally accepted into the small group which meant that she had
new friends. This was a good start.
While eating, they chatted, "A few months ago, the senior secretary in Secretarial Office, Linda, was
demoted. I found out that she was demoted because of offending Mr. Hopkins's wife."
May was eating a piece of chicken. She almost choked while hearing this.
"Take your time to eat. Don't choke yourself." The colleague gave her a glass of warm water in a
friendly manner.
Taking the glass, May thanked her repeatedly. Finding it really funny, she finally understood why
Charles always called Christina a nuisance. It turned out that so many people were affected by
Christina.
In addition to the presidents, the hot topics also included young talents.
"There are not many good men now. If you meet one, you must seize the opportunity without
hesitation."
"The male to female ratio here is not so satisfying."
"We can go to the engineering department on the 13th floor. They have lots of male employees. We
should wait for the social gathering in the company."
May rarely spoke. She liked to listen and respond with a smile. Everyone liked her gentle temperament.
She was invited to go shopping together after work.
In order to strengthen the friendship, she could only secretly send a text message to Christina, saying
that she would be back home later. In fact, May had planned to rent her own house. After all, it was not
appropriate for her to live in the Hopkins family all the time. But Christina was so hospitable that she
could not tell Christina right now.
"May, what do you usually do? Do you like to watch movies?"
They were ready to go shopping in the business street in small groups since they got the salary today.
"I'm a boring person. I rarely go to the movies. I usually read at home on weekends."
"What? No way! We have to make good of our youth since we're not very young. We should show our
beauty and charm."
Everyone was very satisfied with May because she was gentle, modest, and average-looking. This kind
of woman was the most popular since they posed no threat to other women.
"May, do you have a boyfriend?"
She was about to say, "I didn't..."
A car screeched to a halt.
The screeching sound was right behind them.
Shocked by the sound, they suddenly turned around. They saw a foreign handsome man coming out of
a black Dior car. He looked familiar.
Before anyone could react, he strode over with a poker face, pinching his lips.
He grabbed May's hand and stuffed her into the car without saying a word. Then May shouted, "Henry,
let me go."
With a bang, he slammed the door.
He drove the car away rapidly in front of them.
May's colleagues were dumbfounded.
(What's going on? The man just kidnapped May on the street, didn't he? Why do robbers look so
handsome now?)
