The Cupid's Rain

Chapter 3

I walked out of the room, following Gina. Although actually I really want to go around to all corners of this building, but I hope she doesn't make it all today, maybe next time when I bring my sneakers. This heels will be very tormenting me.

First room she showed me was the meeting room, which I'll be right here at two. As Mr. Bale said to me moments ago. A large white table settle in the middle of the room, surrounded by a black high-back chairs. They are look very comfortable. Maybe it was deliberately made like that, so that people who are in the meeting would feel comfortable and not tired easily. Very ergonomic. The walls are made of glass, so when we are inside, we're able to look out of the room, see anyone who passes by. Nice.

Then Gina took me down to the second floor. The cafeteria. I think there is no way that a company have a huge cafe like this. But by considering the size of this building, surely it has large number of employees. I just can't believe it. So beautiful. In my opinion, it's not a cafe, it's a restaurant. I can even smell the good foods. Make my stomach growls. "Here is our cafe. The food is quite good here. But you can also bring your own food and eat in the dining area." Gina told me with her sweet smile.

"Well, it's a huge café ."

"Yeah, I know. Seems like Mr. Palmer deliberately made this to make his employees get their happy tummy, so they can work better." She's right. "Coffee is free here."

"What? Seriously?"

"Umm... and chips also." Chips? Oh I got it; she meant the French-fries. "I told you, huh? 'A happy tummy'." She drew the happy face on her stomach using her index finger.

"Yea. What a wise man." I shook my head in disbelief. Mr. Palmer is really concern of what the people needs here. And Gina was right, a happy tummy makes people work better. Simple thought but true.

"Okay, next we'll go to Mr. Palmer's office. It's on twenty fifth floor." I nodded in agreement and we walked away from the café. Be patient dear tummy. I said to my tummy.

I have no idea how Gina could walk so fast within that high heels. I wasn't able to walk that fast, and it didn't matter that I was a little behind her. Hers is way higher than mine. The tip of her heels is clicking when she walks. It seems like I should really try to get used to my feet in this damn heels.

Without me noticing, I was walking while watching Gina's shoes, and that made me collided into her back when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. "What the ... " I cut my words when I looked up and saw that Gina was shaking someone's hand.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Palmer." She spoke. Wait, Mr. Palmer? Is that him? My boss? Maybe he's around sixty, and still looks handsome to man on his age. This man has side part comb-over and the grey colour adds more beauty to his hairstyle. The other perfect man I met today.

"Hi, Regina!" His smile is pretty charming.

"I was just about to go to your office, Sir." Gina said.

"Is there any important thing that you want to talk about? We can go back to my office, then."

"Oh, no Mr. Palmer. You don't have to. I know that you are in hurry right now. I just want to introduce her to you." Gina placed her hand on my back. "This is Ms. Brianne Bennett. She is a new employee here and placed in Mr. Bale's team."

"Mr. Palmer, I'm Brie. It's very nice to meet you, Sir. And it's such an honor being part of your company." I immediately shook his hand.

"Hi, Brie! Glad to finally meet you! And we are proud to have you here." His dark brown eyes are very sharp but warm. I like the way he talks with his employees. He really knows how to welcome new people like me. Even though we just met, he gives the impression of being a kind boss.
