Chapter 83 Are You New Here?
Indeed, Meryl hadn’t contacted Dalton in the past few days. However, her behavior caused a misunderstanding. Dalton felt that he couldn’t quite understand Meryl.
Frowning, he ordered Elias, “Cancel the business trip!”
Dalton pivoted around and walked into the office building.
Elias was taken aback. “We’ve been following this order for so long and finally made some progress. Canceling it now? Wouldn’t that nullify all our efforts?”
Dalton was not arbitrary but very ambitious in his work. Ever since Chandler took over Galaxy Holdings Group, Dalton’s influence had been dwindling day by day. At this juncture, losing this order was not a smart move.
Dalton pondered for a few seconds and suddenly calmed down. Ethan had a competition these two days. In the e-sports industry, once a competition began, participants had to undergo closed training for several days. Presumably, he wouldn’t show up in front of Meryl.
Upon reflection, they had only just gone on a blind date. Dalton didn’t believe there was any need to worry. He didn’t care about Meryl at all.

Galaxy Holdings Group was undeniably a large company with a diverse array of businesses, enough to overwhelm a newcomer to the workplace like Meryl. Fortunately, Josh was very competent. He categorized the documents, so it wasn’t that difficult for her.
She was flipping through some information when Freya from the next desk came over. “Have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet.”
Freya set a cup of yogurt before Meryl and smiled bashfully, “Have it.”
Meryl thanked her and took two sips of the yogurt when Josh urged everyone to go to the meeting. Everything in the President’s Office revolved around Chandler. The meeting primarily involved discussing his schedule for the upcoming week and assigning responsibilities to different individuals for each section. Except for Meryl, everyone was assigned follow-up projects.
Lisha glanced at her. “From now on, you should order meals and serve drinks to Mr. Aniston. You don’t need to get involved with anything else.”
Josh was stunned. Normally, everyone took turns doing this kind of work, and there wasn’t a designated person responsible for it. After all, this was a bit of a waste of talent. As members of the same department, they were equals. Josh adjusted his glasses frame, avoiding any public embarrassment for Lisha.
He whispered to Meryl, “If you’re interested in joining the project, I have a few options available.”
Lisha, with keen ears, became dissatisfied upon hearing this. “Mr. Carter, do you object to my arrangement? To be honest, Meryl is currently inexperienced and has a modest education. She can only handle minor tasks like serving drinks.”
Josh disagreed. “We’ve all been new employees. How many people can be independent right after joining the company? Ms. Walsh, I think she is very malleable.”
Lisha was displeased. She and Josh served as team leaders for Division One and Division Two, respectively. Throughout their time working together, they had never encountered any disputes. This was the first time, and it was for the newcomer Meryl. But she was under Josh’s command, after all, so Lisha couldn’t complain much.
The regular meeting ended, and everyone exited the meeting room. Meryl and Freya were the last ones to leave, just in time to run into Chandler coming out of the elevator.
Freya tugged at Meryl’s sleeve and whispered, “It’s our boss, the big boss. Come on, imitate me. Call him Mr. Aniston!”
On Meryl’s first day at work, Chandler was away on a business trip, so they likely hadn’t met yet. Freya was afraid that Meryl might not recognize him and would be rude in front of him, so she gently nudged her to show respect.
Meryl lowered her head slightly, fixating on the floor. Noticing a pair of leather shoes slowly advancing towards her, she unconsciously clenched her fists. Chandler paused. Startled, she raised her head and met his eyes.
His low and gentle voice sounded above her head. “Are you new here?”
