Chapter 89 - Newbie (1) (2/2)
”Sarah, what do you think of this company?” Bridgette seemed like she is looking forward to collecting some insider's information.
”I don't think anything yet. I just got here.”
Bridgette looked disappointed with Sarah's response. ”Didn't you have an interview?”
”Yes, I did.”
”My interview was three days long. I met over ten people. It was very tiring.”
”But you got the job. That means you did well.” Sarah threw in a praise hoping that this chatty lady will not start asking about her interview.
”Yes, you can look at it that way.” Bridgette giggled. ”What department are you in?”
Sarah thought about it for some time. ”I'm not sure.”
”How can you be not sure? I know that I'm in department for content management, localization team.”
”I'm really bad with names.” Sarah awkwardly smiled. 'I will need to ask how to respond to these kinds of questions.
”Do you know who your manager is?” Bridgette continued.
Sarah was not sure if she should say that person above her is CEO, so again she was vague. ”I'm not sure about that either. I heard there was some reorganization just at the time of my interview, and I don't know who my manager is.”
Bridgette didn't suspect that Sarah is dodging her question. ”Oh, you will see after this. I heard that managers will come to pick up new employees and show them around.”
”I think my team lead will pick me up.”
Bridgette nodded in understanding.
Sarah breathed sigh of relief when they announced that break is over and to come back. She can tell that Bridgette is only friendly, but Sarah does not know how to answer her rain of questions.
After the break, Bridgette moved to sit next to Sarah, and she talked a lot, making speakers look at them sternly once in a while.
Close to noon, all of them got their employee badges, and meeting was over. As they exited, Bridgette was talking. Sarah found that Bridgette is quite chatty person. ”I hear that CEO is young, very handsome and single. Did you see him?”
”I'm not sure.” Sarah vaguely answered. She saw Aiden walking towards her.
Bridgette saw where Sarah is looking. ”Oh, do you know who that is?” Bridgette gestured toward Aiden. ”Very handsome! This company is like a treasure pit!” Bridgette exclaimed.
”That is my... team lead.” Sarah awkwardly responded.
”You are very lucky. I should transfer to your department!” Bridgette grinned.
Aiden was now in the earshot and looked at Sarah, amused. She lightly shook her head, exasperated.
”How was it?” Aiden asked Sarah.
”It was OK.” Sarah responded and looked at Bridgette whose eyes were glued to Aiden. She was almost drooling. Sarah frowned. ”Isn't your manager here?”
Bridgette looked around suddenly, as if she was startled out of a daze. ”Yes, there she is... well I have to go. Sarah, we must meet for lunch sometimes soon!” She started walking toward her manager, and then turned around. ”And don't forget to bring him along!”
Sarah felt a headache coming. 'I almost forgot how women react to him.'
