Likewise, soon after the bell rang, the office's tense atmosphere was replaced by a sense of liberation and relaxed pleasure "What's good for lunch today?" "Yesterday's braised aubergine was so good! I wonder if they'll make it again today."
"Let's hurry and get in line. If we go early, we can get a good seat. I hope the canteen chef will serve the fish steak soon! It's not fattening. When was the last time we had it?"
"Who are you asking? Aren't you the one who eats it all the time? I didn't even get a chance to try it! Also, isn't fried food fattening? Gee!"
Laughing and joking, several women piled out through the door. Meanwhile, as Jennifer held her lipstick and touched up her makeup, Alicia couldn't help but stare.
Weren't they going for lunch? Shouldn't Jennifer remove her makeup instead? As Alicia watched them all leave the office, she was still wondering.
"Alas, JT Translation Services is better after all! Even though the food there isn't as good, with Mira and Daisy around, I never have to worry about not having a seat or getting a good meal..."
A mental wail followed before Alicia cleared the table and got ready to fill her stomach too. The last time she had been here was a beautiful memory. This time, every step she took felt like a thousand pounds of misery. Although Soaver International was a big company, news traveled fast, especially when it came to the scarcity of beautiful women.
Within just one morning, almost the entire building knew that a superbly beautiful translator had arrived in the International Affairs Department. Of course, all sorts of rumors about her were going around. At this point, various versions of her story were available everywhere in the company.
Due to the large number of employees in Soaver International, there were eight canteens available. Although the dishes may not always be necessarily the same every day, they were similar. After all, the food ingredients here were all delivered by the same company. All the food here was of high standards!
The company did not restrict which canteen the employees must eat in, but most would choose the ane closest to their workplace Naturally, after reading the company’s onboarding booklet, Alicia made her way to Canteen No. 6
Cn this day, because of curiosity, many employees made a point of scurrying over. Therefore, when Alicia arrived at the canteen, she was left dumbfounded. The canteen was packed with people and there were already two queues on either side of the door of the restaurant.
"Why are there so many people?” Alica wondered. How long was this queue going to last? The food would be cold by the time it was her turn! How was she going to eat?
If she had known, she would have come down half an hour later! Just as Alicia was thinking about going back to sit in the office for another half hour, a conversation full of laughter came from behind her. "Why do we have to come here to eat? How many flights of stairs do I have to run back?"
"There's a feast for the eyes here! I heard that the International Affairs Department recruited a super beautiful interpreter, the kind that is stunningly beautifull Even Mr. Reynes, famous for his indifference, couldn't resist her charm and walked her to the door. Oh, I wonder which one is she?"
"Really? Is she even more stunning than Jennifer? Isn't Jennifer one of the best in the company in terms of beauty, figure, and talent? I heard that once during an inspection, the president was dazzled by her too!"
Alicia hadn't taken the subject seriously until she heard the last part. Was Frederick dazzled by Jennifer?
Frederick should see an ophthalmologist! Jennifer's makeup foundation was so thick that it had crusted, and yet he was dazzled by her! What a pervert!
"I don't know yet! But, I've heard she's absolutely gorgeous. Sigh, the staff at the International Affairs Department are notoriously beautiful, especially the first group. Giselle is also one of them. Although she's a bit older, she's charming and flamboyant. She has a different kind of mature allure, let alone the beautiful employees under her!"
"Right? The other departments are envious! The people in the second group in the international Department ae mostly men. When they heard that the new girl is a beauty and*had been assigned to the first group, they were jealous! They theught hey were in a good position to gain a special advantage, butiistead, she became thelr rival. The competition in each department is absolutely fierce. If their group were to show poor performances three times in a row, their bonuses and benefits would be reduced! If that happened, they wouldn't even be able to keep their jobs. They can forget expecting beautiful women. But, maybe those of us from outside their department will have a better chance."
"Don't dream about it! It's okay to look at a pretty girl, but do you actually want to chase her? Relationships are not allowed within the company. Come on. Do you really want to sacrifice your job for the sake of a beautiful woman? If you get thrown out of Soaver International, I wonder if she'll still want you."
‘Tm dying to know what this beauty looks like right now. Hey, did you see where Jennifer's group is? Let's search for them now! Better find a seat close by!"
"Didn't you used to like Jennifer? I heard you even gave her a designer bag!"
"Don't mention it! She wasn't interested in me ata I. We are in the sales departnent. In her opinion, we're not stable and unreliable even if we do well. She said we're nothing bu sweet talkers. What's more; i can barely Understand afew words” when she talks to foreigners: “How embarrassing! Maybe shewprefers a technician with good professional skills or an executive or a leader who makes a million dollars a year. I know I'm not good enough for her..."
"Women nowadays are so arrogant and beautiful women even more sol They all have insanely high standards! I wonder what that beautiful translator locks like. There are so many people in Canteen No. 6 today. They're not all here to see her, are they?"
"Isn't it obvious? Look! The finance department's staff are all here! Those are also from the sales department that is in charge of the South Zone, and that's the logistics one..."
Listening to the chatter behind her, Alicia didn't dare to move. Instead, she pulled out her phone and lowered her head. She didn't expect such a big commotion after only being here for half a day!
Was this long queue all here to see her? It couldn't be! It wasn't like she was an alien!Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, Alicia's breath was caught in her throat. At this point, she really didn't even have a semblance of an appetite
The more nervous she was, the more she tried to keep a low profile. Just then, a manly voice suddenly came from behind Alicia, "Dude! Turn around and look in front of you... That's a great beauty!”
Having said that, someone accidentally dropped their plate on the ground. In the slightly quiet canteen, the clanging sound of the stainless steel plate was deafening and immediately attracted countless gazes.
Alicia instinctively turned sideways too. As she lifted her head, a startled gasp was heard from the crowd. Soon after, Alicia came back to her senses. She noticed that all eyes were looking at her.
sn't she new here? She's from the nternational Affairs Department, right?" Fachdepartment in the ompanyhad a work pass, but each had its own design.

"Wow, she really is a beauty! Hearing about her through rumors is not as good as seeing her in person! She's even more beautiful than rumored...” "She's so young- looking. She must be very young, right?"
"Why don't you go and ask her?" Just as a few men were whispering and pushing each other around, a tall and distinguished- locking young man in a suit was pushed forward. "Hi! I'm Joel Yves from the sales department. What's your name, my beautiful colleague?”
Although he was smiling, his voice was clearly nervous and slightly shaky.
