Chapter 461 - SHE MISUNDERSTOOD
After getting hired, Tristan has to go to the HR department for the formalities and legal procedure. Seeing this opportunity, Cayenne told Elena to come along with him and give him a tour of the company and orient him about a lot of things.
With her heart beating so fast, Elena stood up and ushered Tristan out of Stefan's office. "Did you bring some valid IDs with you?" She asked him when they entered the elevator.
"Yes. Jill told me to bring them. I think she was very confident with me getting accepted here."
"I don't think it's because of friendship that you got hired but your capabilities. Since you said you ranked first in the world of hackers, that means you will be a great help. In fact, we always asked help from sir Shein before." Elena stated with just few things she knew. She didn't really know what kind of help they needed but she heard Stefan a lot of times before, telling Chris to call Shein about this and that.
"How long have you been working here as an assistant secretary?" Tristan asked.
"I've been working here for almost two years now. It was sir Chris who found me and told me to apply here."
"Don't you feel upset that my salary is higher than yours even though I am your assistant?"
Elena chuckled upon hearing this and she was shaking her head. "My position is indeed higher than yours but, you will actually do more works than me. So, I think it's only right for you to get a higher salary."
"I see. So, it's not me who will be under your care. It's you under my care?"
"Yup. It's like that." Elena admitted shamelessly because it's the truth. The reason why they were looking for a male assistant secretary was to defend her in case something happens during client meeting. They can't allow her to go and meet with wolves when she's a gentle looking rabbit, an easy prey to catch.
When they arrived on the fifth floor where the HR department was located, many people were looking at them. Well, not really them but to Tristan. He's really good-looking with his long silver hair hanging loosely on his back. He looked so young despite being twenty-five and he's skin was smooth and fair. He didn't look tacky with the long hair. He looked so pretty instead.
"Elena is really lucky."
"I couldn't agree more on that."
"She worked with secretary Chris for almost two years and now, she got promoted and even get this handsome assistant secretary."
"She's very close with the lady boss and sir Stefan, too."
"I am so envious of her."
"Don't let your envy cloud your judgement or you will end up like the marketing manager."
As soon as the marketing manager was mentioned, the other employees kept quiet and went back to work. They didn't want to lose their job.
Elena brought him to the supervisor of the HR department and introduced him as the new assistant secretary. Without further ado, the supervisor personally processed all the legalities for Tristan.
It took them two hours to finish everything and for him to get his own ID and got his thumbmarks registered on the biometric for work purposes.
After visiting the HR for formalities, Elena started giving him a tour around the company building while telling him of the businesses under Stefan.
Apparently, she didn't need to tell him about these things because he can obviously search for this information easily but Tristan didn't stop her from talking either. They continued to talk as they walked from different floors, having a tour to different departments while introducing him.
In that morning, Tristan became a celebrity and became the hottest topic during chitchat. As for Elena, she became the source of jealousy as well but the employees knew better not to let jealousy cloud their judgement.
Around eleven in the morning, Tristan and Elena came back to the top floor. Chris has booked a restaurant for them to have lunch together and to talk about other matters as well.
"Do you always leave with these numbers of body guards?" Tristan asked when he noticed that there were many people surrounding them.
"When I wasn't married, it's only me and Chris. When I got married, a lot of things happened so, I need to secure my wife and our family."
"I see." Tristan didn't need to ask who were the family members because he already did his research prior to visiting them. "When can I start working?"
"You can start next week but I will give you something that you can work at home." Stefan responded as they walked out of the lobby.
"Sure."
The lunch was like a welcoming party for Tristan. Along with the bodyguards, they had sumptuous meal in the nearby restaurant. Of course, it was Cayenne who will be paying it using Stefan's card.
They talked about different things, both related and unrelated to work. Cayenne was also very interested with Tristan's toy company and was asking if she could make a customize toy from them. She was planning to give some toys to the kids with their names written on it.
The lunch wasn't boring at all.
After lunch, just like what she mentioned this morning, Cayenne left to buy school supplies with the bodyguards, leaving only two people to look after them.
"You allow your wife to go alone just like that?" Tristan asked when he saw Cayenne left without Stefan, Chris or Elena.
"Hn. She's free to do whatever she likes because I know that she will be safe. I did't just place guards around her but Travis and Jill have done the same thing. I just don't who's the person they asked to look after her but I know that there's someone."
"She's very lucky to have Yanyan as her friend."
"Calling her like that, it's no wonder Travis didn't allow you to work for them." Stefan commented and got inside his car.
Elena also heard what Tristan used to call Jillyanna and the reply that Stefan made. She might not be the most intelligent person in the world but she's not the dumbest either. She knew what the implication was. 'Obviously, Tristan likes Jillyanna but she's married to Travis. Having him work for the boss must be the way that sir Travis thought to get rid of him from his wife.' This was what Elena thought inwardly.
She was just having a secret celebration about the effect of law of attraction but now, she just wanted to leave and bury herself with work and more work.
