Chapter 26: A new employee of Star Corporation
On the morning of the first day of the week, Harvey appeared at the gate of Samson’s house early.
He couldn’t help laughing when he saw the three of them: Samson, Maris, and Lucasta huddled on the doorstep.
Maris fixed the blonde girl’s shirt, and hair while Samson put shoes on her feet.
If he guessed correctly, the three of them didn’t set alarms and woke up late.
– Oh my, can she work with that look? She will take the planning department’s documents to the design department. – Harvey shook his head wearily.
Two minutes later, Lucasta left the pretty white gate and sat next to Harvey.
Although she smiled brightly, he could hear her panting.
Today, she has escaped from the image of a princess in the castle to transform into an elegant office girl, with her hair neatly tied in a high bun, high heels, white shirt, black miniskirt, and black vest.
Because Samson knew Harvey had to leave immediately, he just raised his hand in greeting, and his nod meant to entrust his adorable little sister to his best friend.
He felt like he was taking care of his little sister on the first day of school, and Harvey was a very strict teacher.
– Don’t stress too much. I’m just like your brother.
Harvey spoke and pressed the accelerator. The car immediately sped away.
Vampires all like to move at a fast pace, but because of circumstances, he can only satisfy himself in the early mornings when he drives to work like this.
The road was empty, so he was free to drive fast without worrying about traffic accidents or traffic jams.
– Have you had breakfast, Lucasta? – Harvey asked.
– I woke up too late, so I only ate half a bowl of instant noodles. Lucasta smiled and answered.
– I’ll buy you a hamburger. I would also like to tell you in advance that it is not always easy to distribute documents to departments.
– No problem, I can run two laps around the castle.
Lucasta’s confident face did not make Harvey trust her.
In Harvey’s eyes, Lucasta was cherished by Samson like a princess. He always carried her in his arms and took care of her little by little.
How can she work on her own?
Even though there were elevators on every floor of the Star Corporation, he knew she would have to constantly move from room to room and she would get tired.
After Harvey stopped the car and bought Lucasta a hamburger and a carton of milk, he continued to drive to work.
Star Corporation’s headquarters is located right in the city center, and on a par with high-rise buildings.
Star’s number of employees is approximately ten thousand and distributed nationwide.
Profits from business activities contribute a significant part to the country’s budget revenue.
At seven o’clock in the morning, Bonita opened the door and entered the president’s room.
Because she had heard from Harvey in advance that Lucasta would come to the company to help, Bonita wasn’t surprised to see the blonde girl sitting on the sofa drinking milk.
– Good morning, Mr. Harvey.
– Good morning, Bonita.
– Is this Lucasta? – Bonita looked over at Lucasta and winked at her.
– Yes. I’m Lucasta. – The girl shyly replied.
– Have a nice day, Lucasta. My name is Bonita Roberts. You just call me Bonita. Welcome to the Star Group.
Bonita’s friendly and cheerful initiative made Lucasta less nervous.
Although Samson had told her that if someone at the company bullied her, she could call him, even if it was Harvey.
However, she felt her brother was too worried because Harvey and Bonita both treated her gently and affectionately.
– Come on, Lucasta, I will take you around the company and show you each department.
Bonita hugged the stack of documents Harvey had signed yesterday afternoon and walked out. Lucasta also hurriedly followed her.
This twenty-second floor has only two rooms in use. One room is Harvey’s office, the other is Bonita’s office, and all the other rooms are empty.
– This room is for you. You can come here to rest at noon or at leisure. But those idle moments are very rare. Our boss is a guy in a race against time. Bonita gave the room key to Lucasta and said.
– Maris said the job that Harvey gave me would help me have a slim waist like hers. – Lucas smiled amusedly.
– You look so cute. Don’t let yourself become too thin. I used to be skinny too, and Harvey said that when he saw me, he thought I was a chemical skeleton.
When the two of them arrived at the elevator door, Bonita showed Lucasta how to use it.
Somehow, when Lucasta watched Bonita manipulate the open button, she felt as if she had used them before.
When she was with Samson and Harvey, she didn’t notice, but now, when she focused, she realized the elevator was something very familiar.
As they entered the elevator, Lucasta reached out her hand faster than Bonita.
She pressed the number twenty-one and then pressed the close button, which surprised Bonita because just recently, the blonde girl even said that she didn’t know how to use the elevator.
– You are so smart and courageous. The first time when I took the elevator, I did not dare to press the button even though my parents took my hand and controlled it. Bonita praised Lucasta.
– I suddenly felt it was very familiar even though a few seconds before I thought it was strange. – Lucasta replied honestly.
Within an hour, Bonita took Lucasta around the company and showed her the departments.
Although Lucasta’s memory was very good, there were more rooms here than in the castle, so Bonita had to give her a map of the entire company so she could easily locate each room.
By the time the two girls returned to the twenty-second floor, Harvey had already signed another stack of documents.
Although Lucasta thought all the files were transferred to Harvey alone to handle, the vice presidents, directors, and department heads were all like him.
They all face piles of documents every day, and meetings last from morning to noon and sometimes into the evening.
Bonita selected some documents and gave them to Lucasta and told her to bring them to the departments on two floors: the twentieth floor and the twenty-first floor.
And Bonita will deliver the documents to the remaining floors.
Anyway, this is Lucasta’s first day at work, so the workload will be less for her to get used to gradually.
– Ma’am, can you do me a favor? A young assistant guy asked.
– Yes, I am very willing. – Lucasta replied innocently.
– Can you help me give this file to Director Jemaine on the twentieth floor? He needs it to go to Workday company for a meeting and he’ll be leaving in ten minutes. I’m having a stomach ache, so I need to go to the toilet.
Because Lucasta saw him clutching his stomach and grimacing, she agreed.
She took the document from his hand and hurriedly walked toward the elevator.
Director Jemaine’s office was at the end of the hallway on the twentieth floor, so Lucasta remembered it well.
According to Bonita’s initial introduction, he is a very meticulous person and always does things on his own. He doesn’t need a personal assistant.
Unfortunately for the new employee, as soon as the elevator opened, a girl jumped out and carelessly bumped into Lucasta, causing her to stumble and the files in her hand scattered on the floor.
– Oh, I’m sorry.
The girl said as she hurriedly helped Lucasta pick them up and put them in order.
At this moment, two women had just come, and they also stopped and helped the two young girls.
Lucasta was deeply moved because she felt that all the staff here were enthusiastic about helping each other.
After she thanked the three of them, she quickly resumed her work.
– Hello, Mr. Jemaine. I came to give you the documents. – Lucasta politely bowed and placed the document on the desk.
Jemaine was busy signing unfinished documents, so he didn’t even raise his head. He just said thank you and stared at his desk.
Because Lucasta had to go to other departments, she hurried away.
Her dynamism, vivaciousness, and sunny smile seem to invigorate anyone who meets her.
– Oh. Wait a minute, girl. This is not what I need. I mean you should give this document to director Jemaine because he’s in charge of construction, and I’m in charge of communications.
The man had just finished speaking when Lucasta quickly took the document from him.
She rolled her eyes when she saw the sticky note on the cover with Andrew’s name on it from the media room, but inside were documents related to the construction.
She suddenly remembered the collision with the girl who stepped out of the elevator, so she guessed the cause of this confusion.
– I’m sorry. I’ll go get the document back and bring it to you right away.
After Lucasta said that, she ran away before Andrew’s surprised eyes.
Unfortunately, when she got there, the door to Jemaine’s office was locked.
She was shocked to learn that the time to deliver documents to the rooms on this floor was about ten minutes and that perhaps Director Jemaine had gone to the partner company to attend the meeting.
Lucasta hurriedly took the elevator down to the basement.
She hoped she’d meet Jemaine in the parking lot in time to exchange the documents.
Worry made her overcome all her fear and shyness. She was really worried that if Jemaine walked into the meeting and opened the document, something terrible would happen.
As she stepped out of the elevator, the car driven by Jemaine also moved.
She recognized his face through the car window that was gradually being pulled up, so she hurriedly chased after him.
– Mr. Jemaine… Mr. Jemaine… please stop… Mr. Jemaine…
Lucasta’s voice echoed throughout the basement, but Jemaine didn’t hear it.
Moments later, the car was approaching the gate.
She took a breath to regain her strength and then jogged after him, determined to correct the grave mistake of her first day at work.
From the moment she saw Samson give his powerful black card to the saleswoman to pay for her clothes and shoes, she had the idea of making a lot of money so that she could own her black card.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She wanted to use it to buy clothes and shoes for him in the future.
– Oh, my gosh. What should I do now? Isn’t he a meticulous boss? How could he be so careless that he didn’t discover this horrible truth? – She lamented and blamed Jemaine when the car disappeared from her view.
