People in the office came one after another. I sat there alone and felt a little embarrassed. Finally, someone dared to come up and ask me, "Excuse me, are you a newcomer?"
I was about to reply when Gavin came in from outside. He saw us talking, and said, "I was just about to announce, and you are already chatting up. This is Darcey, the new human resources director. You get to know each other well, and then I'll send someone if there is anything." Before turning, he took a look at me, which was caught by me. I felt my heart beating like a drum, afraid of being discovered.
After Gavin left, all the people in the office were stunned, as if they had not reacted this news. My heart sank. I immediately understood that the other people in the office had just learnt about the news of my coming to work.
The first girl who spoke to me just now thought for a moment and said, "Miss. Back, hello, I am Heidi. Nice to meet you."
I quickly said, "You don't have to be so polite. You should be a few years younger than me. If you don't mind, you can call me Darcey. And everyone, you don't have to be courteous. Nice to meet you."
After that, I didn't say much. I looked through the documents on the human resources in the company. My reading speed was not bad. Half a day, I had already got a rough idea of the personal relations.
Tuman resources staffs here were all smart people. Before noon, everyone was making out with me, and Heidi called me sister Darcey and asked me to go to dinner with them. I thought about it and refused. This morning I was very nervous, not hungry at all. Now let me relax all alone.
Everyone in the office is quite easy to get along with. Except for one man about my age, Leonardo. It's a lovely name, but I don't know why, although he showed some respect to me, but I had a strange feeling like I owed him money.
After a long rest, I got up and went to the pantry to get some water. Outside, I heard the voice of a girl whispering. I overheard my own name. So I was curious and wanted to hear more.
