A year later, she returned safely, everything seed fine, and she didn’t think much of it at the ti. Now, looking back, she always felt like sothing was off...
"Laura, do you still rember when you were an exchange student at the University of Aethelgard?"
"Of course, I rember! Why?"
"Why didn’t you ever call back then?"
Laura Quincy looked a bit confused, "Did I not call you? I don’t rember that."
Nina Pierce said with a face full of resentnt, "You didn’t. Every ti you said you had a lot of courses and were too busy, and that we’d get together when you got back."
Laura Quincy rubbed her friend’s round cheeks, "Then I must’ve been really busy! I only had a year, there was so much to learn, I had to make every second count!"
Nina Pierce thought what she said made sense, maybe she was overthinking it!
The next morning, as Laura Quincy arrived at the 36th floor where the translation departnt was located, she overheard a few girls whispering.
"I heard a newcor parachuted into Group Three this ti."
"What newbie? More like soone who pulled strings to get in!"
"I heard the new translator’s na is Laura Quincy, could she be the sa Laura Quincy who was all over the internet for allegedly kidnapping President Hawthorne’s son? Damn it! She actually made it in!"
Laura Quincy tightened her grip on her bag, coughed lightly, and walked over to the girls who were quietly discussing her, her expression calm. She glanced at them lightly, "I am Laura Quincy, but I didn’t kidnap any child. We’re all going to be colleagues soon, and all those online rumors are just nonsense spread by bored netizens, we’re a big company, we shouldn’t stoop to their level, right?"
After speaking, she smiled brightly, her black eyes clear, "What do you say, ladies?"
The last girl to speak managed an awkward smile, "... Of course."
In any case, it would be unwise to make an enemy before figuring out this newcor’s background.
Laura Quincy smiled gently, extending her hand in a friendly gesture, "I’m new here, happy to be colleagues with you all."
The girl could only shake her hand, "I’m Crystal Langley, a staff mber in the translation departnt."
The other two girls also worked in the translation departnt, one nad Quinn Chase, the other Violet Whitman.
From this first interaction, Laura Quincy could tell that these three girls were anything but simple. Crystal was socially adept; Quinn was straightforward; Violet had a gentle disposition.
"Is everyone free? Chatting here first thing in the morning?"
A stern female voice suddenly cut in, silencing the four of them.
Laura Quincy looked toward the source of the voice and saw the woman who had sat second to the right during her interview. She was strikingly beautiful, with clean-cut short hair, donned in a navy professional suit, exuding a bit of a strong woman’s aura.
Laura Quincy rembered that Manager Ulman had introduced her as Stella Jennings, deputy team leader of Translation Group Three.
Which ant, she would be her leader in the future.
Stella Jennings walked up to Laura Quincy, looking at her with displeasure, then turned to Crystal Langley, "Show her around the work environnt and explain the departnt rules."
Crystal Langley nodded submissively, "Yes, Team Leader Jennings."
Laura Quincy thought to herself: Starting off with a bad impression on the leadership, that’s really...
By noon, Laura Quincy finally learned from Crystal Langley that Translation Group Three was the hottest team in Aegis Group’s translation departnt. Even people from Groups One and Two were eager to join, but unfortunately, Group Three had strict discipline and everyone had their own roles without any extra positions available.
