Chapter 913 Welcome Gift

Hudson Investment Firm only had dozens of employees.

The get–together was not a huge affair.

Since it was a great opportunity to learn more about the people of the company, Sophie nodded her head and said, “Please thank Mr. Tart for me. I’ll be there tonight.”

“You’re too kind, Ms. Song. I’ll get out of your hair now,” the secretary said with respect.

Once out of the office, the secretary let out a smirk.

“I bet she slept her way to the chairman’s assistant position. Such hypocrisy.”

The woman left her jealousy outside Jem’s office and reported to him that Sophie had agreed to attend the party tonight.

Jem waved his arm with a sneer. “Call Lennon and Theo over.”

Soon, it was 8:00 PM.

Sophie showed up at a hotel near the office, the venue for Hudson Investment Firm employee’s get– together.

“There you are, Ms. Song.”

Jem stood outside the hotel, waiting for Sophie with a friendly smile.

Sophie said, “You’re too kind, Mr. Tart. You’re a senior employee. You shouldn’t have waited for me here.”

Jem waved his arm. “It’s the least I can do. Mr. Lee’s first day of work is tomorrow, and you’re his assistant. We will be working closely together. I should help ease you into the job.”

Sophie felt relieved.

She had some concerns about going to the party.

Most senior executives of Hudson Investment Firm were from Chrysant. Only the general

staff were locals.

The executive might not accept Kaze as their CEO and would try to make things hard for him because the latter was practically given the job. Sophie braced herself for intimidation today.

Sophie would have to deal with these people for Kaze.

However, judging by Jem’s behavior, Sophie could conclude the executives were pretty good at keeping the peace on the surface.

“Let us give Ms. Song a warm welcome for joining our corporate family,” Jem led Sophie. into the venue and said out loud.

“Clap, clap, clap…”

Applause ensued.

“Thank you, all.”

Sophie expressed her gratitude.

A man and a woman approached.

“Ms. Song, we are the representatives of the administration department. We got a welcome gift for you.”

The female colleague handed a bag to Sophie.

Sophie saw the logo on the bag and recognized the brand as a luxury cosmetics line. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

It was not very expensive. Sophie could comfortably afford the products with her income from Shangrila Group.

She did not tend to accept gifts back when she worked at Shangrila Group.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t bring you any gifts. I can’t accept this from you.”

Sophie refused.

The male colleague of the administration department said, “It’s just a little something from us, Ms. Song.”

“Yeah, Ms. Song. The gift doesn’t cost much,” the female colleague uttered.

Sophie’s firm refusal of the gift created an awkward and tense atmosphere. “Just take it, Ms. Song,” Jem stood up and said.
