Hector came up and said, "Hi, Mr. Bennett invited me, and you can check with him by phone."
The name that he just mentioned drew the attention of the receptionist.
She then soon dialed Mr. Bennett, and put down the phone after a brief conversation with him.
Instead of allowing Hector to go upstairs, she just simply asked him to wait for a while.
Standing by the side of Hector, Katherine was a little confused by the situation.
'Wait, is that Hector has never been showing himself here before?' Katherine thought to herself.
She then stepped forwards and looked at the receptionist, "Excuse me, but how long have you been working here?"
The receptionist turned to Katherine with a seemingly flustered look, and answered hastily, "Well, about five years."
Katherine nodded. Working in the place for nearly five years, she had never heard of the name of Hector, which indicated that Hector was quite an unpopular member of the family.
It was not long before they saw a man come out of the elevator.
He was a man seemingly much older than Hector.
The man caught sight of Hector, and plainly said, "Here you are."
At the next second, he was stunned to see Katherine standing aside.
Katherine noiselessly gave a sigh, thinking that she would still need some time to get used to her spread reputation.
Hector turned to Katherine and introduced, "This is David, my oldest brother." The tone in which he ushered out the relationship between him and David was kind of reluctant.
Katherine slightly nodded her head to David, "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Grant." David greeted Katherine in a mannerly way.
Katherine laughed softly and said, "It's OK to just simply call me Katherine. I'm kind of embarrassed hearing others call me Mrs. Grant over and over again."
David offered an awkward smile and then remained silent afterwards.
He led the two into the elevator and went upstairs.
Most of the office spaces were quite alike in terms of patterns.
They headed to the personnel department and processed the employment of Hector.
David standing aside, repeatedly reminding the staff of temporarily giving Hector a position of deputy general manager, sending him to assistant manager Tomas's department and learning under his guidance.
The staff was for the moment dumbfounded to hear his words, while soon nodded, "OK, I understood."
