The Day He Matured

After welcoming a meaningful birthday, I came to the company in a very excited mood.

The bus slowed down and dropped me and a few staff members off the side of the road. They are also employees of AD company, but they work in another department.

The sales department that I am working in is full of excellent employees, everyone has their own car after a period of dedication and has sold countless apartments. Only I am a newbie and still go to work by bus or walk.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I widened my eyes in surprise when I saw people lined up in two long lines from the door to the inside.

What are they doing? Is the company going to welcome the president? Why so solemn?

“Oh my, Bella, come here and stand.” Mrs. Erina, the deputy sales manager, raised her hand and beckoned to me.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I still did as she said and stood right next to her. Suddenly, I felt happy and remembered the games children used to play.

“What’s the matter?” I asked in a low voice.

“Oh my gosh, our new director welcome ceremony. New business director.”

As far as I know, he will come to the company to take over the job next week, why did he come a week earlier than expected?

We haven’t even contributed money to hold a farewell party for the former director.

But why is there a general manager standing in line at the ceremony to welcome the business director?

“Is that so? I thought we were going to welcome the president.”

I looked towards the door, where the general manager was at the head of the line.

Honestly, I’m also very hungover, want to know who my new direct boss is, how does he look? Is his temperament as pleasant as my former boss’s?

The moment the luxury car stopped in the yard, I almost held my breath and immediately bowed at the same time as the employees of the company.

God, how can I see the boss’s face when I bow like this? Maybe when I return to the sales department, I will see this boss.

But… what is this? What am I carrying under my feet? Why not cream heels but dark yellow flip-flops? Oh my gosh, what is this fashion style?

I was hoping for a quick end to the welcome when the shiny black leather shoes suddenly stopped in front of me. It’s a man’s shoe. After all, who is it? General manager? Head of Sales? Or the new boss?

Are people thinking that I’m intentionally making myself stand out? I obviously took my heels out the door but ended up wearing these flip-flops.

I feel so embarrassed because of my sloppy appearance. No wonder when I walk, I feel comfortable and light, like flying.

Those leather shoes stopped for about a minute and then passed by, making me breathe a sigh of relief.

I couldn’t hold back my curiosity, so I raised my head slightly and saw that everyone had already looked up. I could only see the back of the man in the elegant, smooth suit.

While I was happy because I wasn’t questioned by anyone, my whole body was completely still when the moment that man suddenly turned his head to look.

That face, those eyes, those lips were deeply imprinted in my mind, even though I tried to forget, I couldn’t forget him.

It was him, the man who gave me sweet but painful love. It’s Briann.

I really can’t believe that one day I will see him again and in this situation.

He is the heir of Hana Corporation, but why is he in the AD company? Could there be someone like him?

“Introducing to everyone, this is the new sales director of our company. Mr. Brian.”

Okay, no confusion at all. The brief introduction of the general director told me that there is no one like Brian, but that person is him.

When I accidentally saw his eyes on me, I lowered my head and stepped back a little.

What should I do? Later, when he returned to his office, he would recognize me. What should I do when facing my ex?

“Oh, one more thing. Probably most employees in the AD company do not know yet. In fact, the AD company is one company under the famous Hana group. And the person standing in front of you here is one of the two bright heirs of the corporation.” The general manager continued to speak.

I got it. It turned out to be so. Perhaps the person I saw in front of the mall gate yesterday was Brian.

He returned to a new position, although much lower than his previous position, looking at the way the general manager was respectful to him, I understood that he was still the grandson of the president of Hana Corporation, still very majestic.

“Okay, thanks everyone, go back to work.”

As soon as Brian finished speaking, I and the staff hurriedly walked back to the office.

Today, I have an appointment with a customer to sign a contract and then take another customer to the apartment complex to see the apartment, so this is an opportunity for me to temporarily avoid Brian.

I need time to prepare myself mentally. I am in a mental crisis.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

While I was preparing my documents, the greetings from my colleagues made my limbs stiffen.

Poor me, my desk is next to the business director’s office, if Brian wants to enter, he must pass by me. I can’t pretend I don’t see him. If only my position was in the corner, it would be fine.

“Hello, director.” I tried to use up the last bit of composure I had left and opened my mouth to speak.

What I received from Brian was a cold, emotionless face, showing no sign of knowing me. Maybe he lost the memory region where I existed when that terrible accident happened.

So that’s good, isn’t it? Hope so.

I peeked at the expressions on my colleagues’ faces and I was surprised when I saw them smiling happily.

The girl next to me also whispered compliments that the new director was friendly and smiled at the staff.

Turns out, Brian wasn’t smiling at me alone. After all, does he forget or remember? Come on, I don’t have time to guess. I’m going to be late for my appointment.

Oddly enough, the contracts I left on the table on Saturday have grown wings and gone.

I couldn’t find them, so in the end I had to reprint them.

The sound of paper runs smoothly and continuously. Soon, four copies of the contract were printed. However, there is still another hurdle waiting for me, that is, I have to go into that room and ask for Brian’s signature.

If he doesn’t sign them, I can’t bring them to the clerical office to stamp them.

After a few minutes of hesitation, I looked into the room.

Oh my god, Brian is staring at me. Immediately, I looked away, a few seconds later, I looked back and saw that he was looking at some document. It’s probably just a coincidence.

“Hi, Mr. Chad. I’m on my way there, you and your wife just drink coffee and wait for me, because there is a briefing at the beginning of the week, I will come a little late.”

I quickly answered the customer as soon as I picked up the phone.

Just now, this man texted me, saying that he and his wife would be at the meeting point in ten minutes, but I couldn’t reply because I was busy welcoming the new boss.

Taking a deep breath, I stood up, hugged the contracts, went straight to Brian’s room, and knocked on the door.

I lowered my face, not daring to look directly at the man I once loved so much.

“Director, please sign these purchase and sale contracts.”

“Leave them here, I will sign them after reading them.”

Oh, Brian’s tone proves that he doesn’t remember me, normal, calm.

My anxiety gradually disappeared. Okay, I’ve been worrying too much.

“Please sign them right away, the customer is waiting…”

Before I finished speaking, the sound of the pen hitting the desk made me involuntarily look up.

Brian frowned and showed an annoyed expression.

What’s wrong with this guy? If he heard me say that the customer is waiting to buy an apartment, he should be happy and sign the contract quickly, why show this annoyed face?

“You gave me the document and told me to sign it quickly but I still don’t know the content in it.” He smirked, spitting out each word.

“It’s an apartment sale and purchase contract. I follow the company’s available form…”

“Go out.”

“What?”

“Wait. You should have prepared the contract early, not have to wait until close to the appointment time and then jump into my room, and tell me to do as you say. Unprofessional, irresponsible.”

My body trembled when I heard the scolding words from Brian.

Yes, he was right, not wrong at all. However, this was an unexpected incident. I prepared everything a few days before, but the contracts signed by the former director suddenly disappeared.

It took me a lot of effort to lift my legs and leave the heavy atmosphere.

This is the first time I got scolded by my boss. Really unlucky. I want to cry.

I didn’t have the courage to look into Brian’s office to see if he had read and signed the contract, just looking at the two hands of the clock turning.

Has Brian changed or is this his inherent working style? I’m not familiar at all. Scary, hateful too.

My guts were burning hot, even though I sent a message to Mr. Chad, saying that I had a problem on the road, so I would be late.

Hearing the ringing of the desk phone, I was startled and quickly picked up the desk phone.

“Come in and get them. I signed them already.”

Brian spoke very quickly and hung up. Through the transparent glass, I see him staring at the computer.

I don’t want to walk into that room when it’s just him and me.

Fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Erina also stood up, took the document, and went to his office, so I hurriedly went with her.

After getting the contracts, I hurried back out and quickly ran down to the clerical office because the company seal was there.

The meeting point is a coffee shop right in the city center, quite crowded with people and traffic, so I chose to take a motorbike taxi for convenience to move and wriggle through the crowd instead of taking a taxi.

If I was stuck in traffic for ten or twenty minutes, they would probably cancel the appointment.

Not only AD company’s apartments are beautiful and cheap. Real estate companies in this city are as numerous as mushrooms that grow after the rain.
