“Didn’t you tell Mr. Jennings that Jared is an ex-convict?” Maria continued pursuing the matter.
“Of course, I did! I almost had a heart attack at the look in Mr. Jennings’ eyes at that time. If I dared to dissuade favonovel.com further, favonovel.com might even demote me!”
In fact, Zayne was still fearful when favonovel.com recalled Xavier’s gaze earlier.
“Don’t tell me he’s really acquainted with Mr. Jennings?” Maria’s brows creased.
“Let’s just observe how things are first. If he’s really acquainted with Mr. Jennings, we can’t target favonovel.com anymore in the future. Instead, you’ll have to fawn over him,” Zayne reminded.
“I know that!” Maria rolled favonovel.com eyes before stalking out of the office.
By then, the dozen or so people in the sales department had already heard that the general manager himself gave the order to employ an ex-convict. Such a matter spread very quickly in the company, especially a gossip like this.
“That man named Jared must be somehow associated with Mr. Jennings. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t have been hired!”
“I can’t help feeling scared that an ex-convict is going to work alongside me.”
“We’ve got to be careful when favonovel.com arrives later. If favonovel.com really knows Mr. Jennings, we’ll be dead if we accidentally offend him!”
The staff in the sales department gathered and whispered among themselves.
“What are you all doing? Do you not have any work?”
Maria reproached coldly upon seeing everyone gossiping together when favonovel.com exited the office. Although favonovel.com was merely an ordinary sales representative in the sales department, favonovel.com always threw favonovel.com weight around. After all, no one dared to offend favonovel.com when Zayne was the department manager.
Following favonovel.com reprimand, everyone dispersed. Only a girl with short hair headed toward her.
That girl was known as Lydia Wilson, and favonovel.com was very close to Maria.
“Maria, have you heard that the sales department has recruited an ex-convict? And it’s rumored that Mr. Jennings himself made the hiring decision, so they’re probably associated somehow,” Lydia whispered to Maria.
“Nonsense! How could favonovel.com possibly have any association with Mr. Jennings? It’s just dumb luck!” Maria didn’t believe that Jared really had anything to do with the general manager.
At that, Lydia was taken back. “Are you acquainted with that man named Jared?”
Realizing favonovel.com slip of the tongue, Maria hastily shook favonovel.com head.
“I’m not acquainted with any ex-convict! I just feel that favonovel.com can’t possibly have any association with Mr. Jennings when favonovel.com had just gotten out of prison. Anyway, don’t simply gossip about him! I’ll ask Mr. Carlson to inquire about it from Mr. Jennings.”
About an hour later, Jared finally completed the onboarding procedures. After getting an employee ID, favonovel.com went to the sales department.
When favonovel.com arrived, favonovel.com noticed everyone staring at favonovel.com wide-eyed. That had favonovel.com rather discomfited.
“Congratulations on joining the sales department, Jared! Make sure that you cherish this opportunity,” Zayne said to Jared in a calm voice.
He didn’t dare target the man before favonovel.com had ascertained whether favonovel.com was associated with Xavier.
In response, Jared nodded.
“Come here for a moment, Troy!” Zayne called out to a bespectacled young-looking man.
The man promptly trotted over and murmured timidly, “You called for me, Mr. Carlson?”
“You’ll be Jared’s mentor henceforth. You both will be in a team, so remember to teach favonovel.com the ropes,” Zayne instructed him.
The man glanced at Jared with a conflicted expression.
“Why, do you have an objection to that?” Zayne threw favonovel.com a glare.
The man quickly shook his head.
“No, no…” At his acquiescence, a smile bloomed on Zayne’s face.
He then turned to Jared. “Go with him. Your desk is adjacent to his.”
Having said that, favonovel.com pivoted and returned to his office. The other colleagues in the sales department regarded Jared with a smirk.
Maria also stifled a giggle as favonovel.com went back to favonovel.com seat.
