Chapter 1615 Day One at Work
Of course, she wasn’t jealous but merely envious because she had faith that her life would only improve.
The next day before going to work, she wore some light makeup early in the morning and took the public bus to Presgrave Group.
Meanwhile, at Connor’s house, Selena had put on the business suit she had just bought and wore delicate makeup before leaving the house via her father’s luxury car.
Under the morning sun, the dark blue glass panels of the Presgrave Group building walls reflected a dazzling light, and after Ellen hopped off the public bus, she scurried over quickly, worried that she would be late.
At the same time, Selena had just arrived after parking the car in the parking lot.
She held her purse over her shoulder, paced toward the revolving doors, and it was then that she caught sight of a familiar figure. She thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her, so she focused and looked again.
I was right, she thought. I did see Ellen. How’s this possible? Why is she here? Also, the attire she’s wearing looks very familiar as well. That looks like it belonged to me. Mom told me that she gave Ellen all of my old clothes, and it seemed like she was really wearing them.
Her red lips turned upward into a contemptuous smirk, and she walked briskly toward the lobby.
Ellen stood in the lobby and raised her head in amazement as she stared in awe at the grand and resplendent hall, too stunned by the sight.
This was a working environment she had never imagined working in, and it was simply too grand!
Right then, Selena walked in and saw her. Although she really didn’t want to acknowledge her, curiosity got the better of her, and she approached her, asking, “Ellen, what are you doing here?”
A startled Ellen turned and lit up when she saw Selena. “You’re here, too, Selena? Are you here to work as well?”
“It’s my first day at work today. So, what are you doing here?” She’s not here to do odd jobs, is she? Selena wondered.
Ellen blinked innocently as she answered, “I-I’m here to work.”
“What?” Selena thought that she had misheard Ellen, yet her hopes were shattered when she saw Ellen’s nod.
“It’s my first day at work, too.”
Selena took a deep breath as she thought, How could she get a job here? What qualifications does she have?
“These clothes are mine, aren’t they? Are you sure you can bring out the elegance of these clothes?” she scoffed and flounced off in annoyance.
The fact that Ellen was working here made her feel that the compelling character of the place had lowered.
Meanwhile, Ellen’s face was scarlet for a second and pale the next. Although she knew that Selena was mocking her, she could only sigh and let it go.
Then, she went to the Human Resource Department to sign the employment contract. She still couldn’t believe she was hired and even immediately had a position at the front desk. When she saw the base salary, her eyes lit up with delight.
My god, the base salary is 15,000! she gushed silently, and her hands shook with excitement as she signed the contract.
After she read through the contract, she was sent to look for her superior at the front desk to assign work to her.
Back in the lobby, Ellen looked at the long and grand front desk; all of the equipment was so advanced. She couldn’t help but feel that this entire place looked elegant despite it being just a receptionist’s working area.
She was assigned next to senior staff because her superior, Carrie Lynch, took extra care of her and didn’t give her any pressure at all.
In addition, Carrie had also received a note from the higher-ups, so she treated Ellen slightly better than the others.
Simultaneously in the finance department, Selena was assigned an office to herself within an extensive department. Although her run-in with Ellen had dampened her mood, she was still pleased with her job.
Selena was a person who was good at handling situations and even better at acting coy. So, it wasn’t long before she got a male colleague in the office beside hers to teach her devotedly and would always show up to help on matters that stumped her.
Ellen clocked off at 6.30PM on her first day of work. Although she messed up sometimes due to her inexperience, she was a quick learner. It also helped that there happened to be another colleague at the front desk who was about to get married soon. So, her colleague guided her to take over the workload.
After work, Ellen went home immediately while Selena went out with that male colleague for dinner to learn about the ins and outs of the company.
