When the door opened, Gerald could finally see the manager well.
He was walking behind the assistant when Gerald exclaimed, “Ava Anderson? Is that really you?”
Ava Anderson was Gerald's classmate during Junior High. She is the daughter of the principal and also one of the best students along with Gerald and Xeno. They have even participated in various competitions together.
Although they were quite close to each other back then, they no longer shared the same class when they entered High School.
The first few days after entering High School, Ava would still invite Gerald out for lunch as the two of them were not familiar with their new classmates. After school, he'll go after Gerald and they'll talk about how their day has passed.
However, after those few days, Ava started to have lunch with her dorm friends. This caused them to talk less and less and more and more, as time went on, they ended up only being able to meet each other once a week. Their distance further increased in the next semester, and they would only give a simple greeting each time they passed by.
In the final year of high school, the two have returned to being strangers.
Since Ava attended university in Yanken and Gerald attended Mayberry, it's been about three years since they last saw each other.
Ava seems to have succeeded enough alone. After all, he was able to obtain the position of manager at such a young age.
"What brings you here, Gerald?" asked Ava, looking surprised.
That's an understandable response. After all, it had been a long time since the last time they met. Ava knew very well that their friendship had deteriorated since their high school days and she felt a sudden surge of awkwardness welling up in her veins.
“Oh, I just applied for a position. I'll be working here from now on!” gerald replied with a smile.
“Look at yourself Avie, you are so cool now! You are a manager!” gerald said as he looked at the label.
“Thank you, but don't call me Avie from now on. You can call me Miss Anderson,” Ava replied a little coldly.
"Understood!" Gerald said while nodding.
"Assistant Valen!" ava said while closing the file. “I know we are short of two employees because this is a new team. However, we prefer quality over quantity so I will only choose one of you to help the team.”
At that moment, Bianca started to panic. Gerald and Ava knew each other so he must have been chosen!
Contrary to how she imagined it, however, Ava glanced at Gerald coldly before turning to look at Bianca. "Miss Bianca Snow, we need another woman here, so welcome to the team!"
“For you, Gerald..” said Ava as she watched from head to toe. “I know that the logistics team is still recruiting, so you have to help them. You may need to shop around each department and do tasks for them!”
Gerald fell silent. He doesn't know what else to say.
The assistant then interjected, "But Manager Ava, Gerald graduated from Mayberry University ..."
“I'm aware, but how else. Our current situation only offers this position. What are you saying, Gerald? If you receive, I'll send you to the logistics section first. If you continue to work well, I'll take this to the director and ask you to join our team later, ” Ava said with a fake smile.
To be honest, Ava did not care about him at all. Even from High School, she realized that hanging out with Gerald was embarrassing.
