Ruby Gregory gritted her teeth, preparing to admit she might not get a job at Pristine’s when suddenly her mobile rang.
Picking up her phone, Ruby noticed it an unfamiliar landline number. Inquisitively, she glanced at her father before answering, “Is this Miss Ruby Gregory?”
“Yes.” Ruby responded with a note of confusion, “Who is this?”
“Hello, Miss Gregory, I’m the Manager of Pristine’s Enterprises’s Human Resources Department. I’m calling to confirm some details with you. A while ago, you submitted your resume here, applying for the post of Assistant to the Secretary to the CEO of Pristine’s, correct?”
Ruby remembered that her father, Maxwell Gregory had helped her send the resume. She nodded and confirmed, “Yes.’
“Miss Gregory, congratulations! Our company has decided to hire you. If you’re free this afternoon, we’d like you to come and report to the company.”
Ruby Gregory’s reporting time at Pristine’s Enterprises was set for three in the afternoon. Upon her arrival, the secretary to the HR manager guided her through several protocols including taking a picture for her work ID card before giving her a tour around Pristine’s Enterprises and a brief introduction. Finally, she led Ruby to the executive office on the top floor of the building.
The top floor hosted five independent offices and four small conference rooms.
Four offices were lined up, while another occupied one side of the floor.
Outside each independent office was a row of office desks. In the very center of everything were four glass-walled conference rooms.
Ruby gathered from the HR manager’s secretary that the four offices were separately occupied by Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, Madeleine, and Howard Coleman, and that the people busy at the desks outside were their secretaries.
Leading her to a seat nearest to the CEO’s office, the HR Manager’s secretary whispered something to a slightly younger woman. Nodding to Ruby with a smile, she then left.
The slightly older woman stepped forward towards Ruby and asked her with a
gentle smile, “Miss Ruby Gregory, right?”
Ruby nodded slightly in response. The older woman then clapped her hands together and announced, “Ladies, this is our new colleague, Miss Ruby Gregory, the newest member of our CEO’s secretarial team.”
Afterwards, the older woman introduced Ruby to every person in the office.
Truth be told, Ruby had already received a detailed profile of each member of the Secretarial Unit of the CEO of Pristine’s Enterprises from his father, Maxwell Gregory, earlier that morning.
The older woman was a distant relative of the Burtons; she had been serving as the CEO’s secretary in Pristine’s Enterprises for nearly thirty years.
As for the assistant secretaries, two of them were fresh college graduates with ordinary backgrounds, but with excellent academic performances. Two others were old employees of Pristine’s Enterprises who were already married with children. The remaining two were Olivia Foster and Maya Mitchell..
