The HR manager stood there looking as Annabelle left. He looked at Annabelle's back view and the man made up his mind secretly…
After Annabelle exited the he HR department, she breathed in relief.
She had an intuition that the man was insinuating something.
Hopefully she was overthinking. Annabelle took her resume and walked to a side.
In the afternoon, Annabelle was about to go to lunch with Covi and she hadn't thought that the HR manager approached her.
"Miss Xia!"
When she heard that, Annabelle raised her eyes. She was surprised when she saw him but she returned with a courteous smile.
"Yes, manager Lee?" Annabelle looked at him and asked.
The man looked in his thirties. He was tall and skinny and he seemed ordinary. Annabelle had not much of an impression towards him. The only thing memory she had about him was when she went to the HR department to collect her resume.
"There's something that I wish to discuss with you. May I know if I can treat you for lunch?" The HR manager said.
Annabelle was taken aback. She had not anticipated him to say that.
Covi stood on the side and she couldn't help but giggle when she saw them.
Annabelle was unaware but every other colleague knew that the manager had been eyeing Annabelle for a long time.
It seemed that the man had mustered up his courage finally to invite Annabelle for lunch.
Annabelle was little surprised and she said, "pardon me, manager Lee, I had made an appointment with Covi. And they are something that we need to discuss as well. If you have anything, just talk about it in the company" Annabelle replied smilingly, also rejecting him courteously.
Manager Lee stood there and pondered for a moment, "all right then, let's talk next time when you are free!"
"All right!" Annabelle nodded.
