Arissa nodded. She agreed to let Ethen add her to the chat group. Besides, they exchanged their WhatsApp IDs. After they walked into the elevator, Ethen carefully asked, “Ms. York, I didn’t know you were married. All this while I thought you were single.” Arissa was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled faintly.
“I’m not technically married. Is there a problem?” “Nope!” Laughing, Ethen replied, “I never expected you had children already. How old are they?” “They’re five years old, and the reason I wanted to leave is so that I can settle their school enrollment procedures by today.” Since I brought the kids back, I need to send them to preschool. I feel worried if I leave them at home all the time.
“Do you need any help?” Ethen asked with concern. “It’s okay. I had already contacted the school before I came back. I’m going to settle the paperwork today. But, thanks for the offer anyway,” Arissa replied politely. Ethen nodded. Before they walked out of the elevator, Arissa wondered if she should ask about Benjamin’s personal information from Ethen. Then, some people greeted Ethen and curiously inquired who she was. Ethen patiently introduced her to everyone, and she responded with a polite smile. “Ms. York, what do you think of our company?” Ethen asked as he sent her out of the door. Arissa answered, “Not bad. I love the lively working environment here.” Ethen was nonplussed.
“That’s because you haven’t really started working here yet. Once you start working, you’ll know. Mr. Graham is very strict with his workers, and I sincerely hope he will not scare you away.” Arissa raised an eyebrow. “Yes, I noticed that when I had a short conversation with him earlier. But it’s all right. I’ll get used to it!”
As her job revolved around data and figures, it was cut and dry. She had nothing to worry about, especially her boss’ mood. No one could deny her work if she did it decently. Ethen was impressed by her positive attitude. “Just contact me anytime if you need my help.” Arissa nodded. After some thought, she said, “You don’t have to follow me to the car. But, Mr. Frank, may I ask you something?”
