The Woman From Hell
Chapter 963

Chapter 963

He looked like a nagging old woman right now and I could not help but laugh. "I'm not anti-social, nor am I avoiding it on purpose. I just don't like it."

Horton took a seat beside me and grabbed a file to fan himself. He then continued to persuade me eagerly. " Wanda, we were friends in university. Do you think I don't know what you used to be like? You could talk to almost anybody in university and had a really good network. Look at you now. You've joined the company for a month and how many colleagues have you spoken to? Since you’ve made the choice to come to a new city to start anew, you shouldn't be like this."

I looked at him and stroked my chin, asking, "What should I be like, then?"

"Make new friends, learn new things."

I nodded. "Okay."

He thought I had agreed and suddenly smiled. "I'm glad you get it. Now get to work."

After saying that, he even handed me an invitation card. "I still have things to do, so I can't go right away. Take this invitation card with you and go over when your work is done."

I was a little surprised. "We need invitation cards too?"

Horton nodded. "The company paid for the whole venue. That’s why an invitation card is necessary. Just go straight in when you get there."

Big companies were indeed different.

Horton got up to return to his seat to continue working. Remembering that I needed to apply for leave in a few days, I said, “I might have to apply for leave in a few days, Horton. Can you approve it for m e?"

He frowned. "You're going back to Whaldorf City?"

I nodded. "I have things to do."

"You miss your child?"

Finding him talkative, I helplessly sighed. "Something like that.”

Horton thought about it and said, "I'm going back in a few days too. Let’s go together."

I was just about to refuse when he said, "Alright, get to work. I need to go upstairs to see the manager."

He left after saying that.

I sighed and started to work.

As it was too warm, I was eager to leave this place and worked with great efficiency. It only took me 20 minutes to handle all the documents.

I put all the documents on Horton's table and grabbed my bag to clock out.

Standing at the office door, I lowered my head to look a t the invitation card in my hand. I wondered if I should go to the department gathering. However, since I had promised Horton that I would go, I had no choice as he would be mad otherwise.

I walked out of the company and took a cab to the hotel.

When I arrived at the hotel's entrance and got out of the cab, I ran into two female colleagues from the department and greeted them. We then walked into the hotel together.

After entering the hotel did I realize it was a spa hotel. The waiter gave us our numbers and said with a smile, "Why don't you ladies change your shoes and clothes first?”

I looked at the female colleagues and exclaimed, "This is my first time at a spa hotel. It looks like a good one."

A female colleague giggled. "This isn't my first time here. The spa hotel isn’t the main event today, though. The main event is to drink and party. Just enjoy yourself."

After I went into the changing room and got changed, the two female colleagues took me up to the second floor.

There were partitions on the second floor. There was everything from food, drinks, to entertainment.

I thought at first that a department gathering was when everyone gathered to eat and drink, but this gathering was actually very special. Big companies were indeed different. Even their way of getting together was so unique.
