Elena was anxiously waiting for Lucien in the hall. Being late on the first day of work would definitely not make a good first impression on the director, Mr. Hank.

Another receptionist, Cathy, smiled to her colleague and joked, “Elena, who are you waiting for? Your sweetheart?”

“Come on, Cathy. I’m waiting for a friend of mine. Today’s his first day working for the association.”

When Elena was talking, Lucien came into the hall.

“Thanks God, you are here, Lucien.” Elena walked out of the counter and toward Lucien, “Why do you look so tired? Are you sick?”

Lucien knew he must look terrible. The headache caused by his soul injury was torturing him all the way. After rushing here, he felt quite dizzy.

“Well… I think so. But I’m okay. Thank you for asking, Elena.” Lucien smiled to Elena, who was wearing a long white dress today. “I think we’re gonna meet Mr. Hank now, aren’t we?” asked Lucien.

“Yes, we are.” Elena started walking upstairs, and was followed by Lucien, “No worries. Sunday’s never a busy day, or say, the work is not busy in general.”

Mr. Hank was a middle-aged serious man, who was always wearing a decent suit. After asking some basic questions, Mr. Hank just nodded and asked Elena to lead Lucien directly to the library.

The library was on the second floor. While they were heading toward it, Elena was trying to describe the other librarian to Lucien, “His name is Pierre Sandor. Both of you work the morning shift in the library. He’s an ok guy. I don’t think he’ll give you a hard time, so no worries. But he’s a bit… umm…” Elena paused for a few seconds, “weird.”

The guy called Pierre should also have some connections in the association, or he would have no chance working as a librarian here if he was just a nobody. Lucien just wanted to do his own work and avoid trouble as much as possible.

The Music Library was huge and quiet, and thousands of precious music books, journals, and newspaper were collected here.

There was only a black-haired young guy sitting behind the wood counter, reading the tablature carefully. In Lucien’s eyes, the guy looked like a big fan of music.

“Pierre, Pierre…” Elena tried to draw his attention, “This is the new librarian, Lucien.”

Finally, Pierre raised his head from the book. His brown eyes looked a bit confused.

“Morning, Elena! What day is it today… Sunday?”

“Nice to meet you, Pierre. I’m Lucien Evans, the new librarian.” Lucien introduced himself with a warm smile.

Just realizing his new colleague was standing in front of him, Pierre walked out of the counter and greeted Lucien, “Nice to meet you, Lucien. I’m Pierre Sandor.”

When they were shaking hands, Pierre put on a sly smile, “Lucien, you’d better… refrain yourself a bit…”
