Chapter 90 - Newbie (2) (1/2)
Just as Bridgette went further away, Aiden spoke with a smile. ”You know, all that will go away if you just take your claim of me publicly.”
Sarah looked around and observed that number of women are taking glances at him. There was a number of men looking her way, but she didn't care about them. She was irked by these shameless women. ”I'm afraid that if I do that, different type of problems will come my way.” Sarah shook her head helplessly. ”OK. Where are we going? You are supposed to show me around.” Sarah decided to change topic.
They had lunch in a restaurant on the third floor, and then he took her to the eighteenth floor where their offices are. For elevator to go to eighteenth floor, Sarah needs to swipe her badge. ”If you forget your badge, reception on tenth floor can give you a temporary badge for a day. Your badge is linked to you, and grants permissions to specific areas of the building. Since you have access to secure areas, if you can't find your badge, it's important to report it right away.” Aiden was explaining. He took the job of a new employee guide seriously. Sarah could not help but stare at him.
When they exited the elevator, Sarah observed large open area filled with desks and computers. It was an open space office designed for people to collaborate easily. Walls and carpet are light blue color. Aiden explained that every floor has a similar design with enclosed office space in the middle and open space surrounding it. Each floor has different color, ”If you exit the elevator, and you don't see around you light blue, you got off on the wrong floor.”
Sarah was observing everything curiously and nodded, indicating that she heard him.
”Come, you should meet others.” Aiden led the way, and she followed.
They stopped in front of the desk where two men chatted. When they saw them approaching, they stopped and looked at them. Aiden looked at them and tilted his head toward Sarah. ”This is Sarah, I mentioned earlier that she will join today.”
”Oh, newbie!” One man exclaimed. ”We haven't had any fresh blood in a long time.”
Sarah looked at middle aged man. He looked friendly, but she didn't know what to make out of his words.
Aiden shook his head in disapproval and spoke to Sarah. ”These here are Fox and Daniel. They work on reporting, as well as manage hardware that we are using.”
Other man called Fox was much younger than Daniel, Sarah guessed in his late twenties. As he stood up to shake hands with Sarah, she observed that he is rather tall and skinny. Sarah exchanged few pleasantries with Fox, and Daniel was looking at her. ”You ignored me” He looked upset.
Sarah looked at him, for a second before responding honestly. ”Sorry, but you called me fresh blood, and I'm not sure how to respond to that.”
He laughed, ”Sorry, sorry. Let's do this again... I'm Daniel. Nice to meet you. Let's work well together in the future.” He extended his hand.
Sarah shook his hand and responded with a smile. ”Sarah, nice to meet you too.”
Aiden looked at them and nodded in approval. He looked around as if looking for someone. ”Where is Evalina?”
