Chapter 422 - Disgusting Man

"Good morning sir, I'm Lisa, the new employee." 

The room that's said to have belonged to Lisa's direct supervisor, looks like a normal office space. The size is not too big, it may look cramped because of the many items scattered around. On the wooden table were several stacks of paper, a laptop, and a cup of hot coffee. And the smell of cigarettes immediately filled Lisa's chest.

At the end of the table was a nameplate with the man's full name on it.

Surya Sandalwood.

They say it's an insurance company but why does this office look like a shipwreck instead?

"Oh, Lisa," the bald-headed man greeted, "Welcome to the Better Life company!"

The man sitting right across from Lisa looked unkempt. His head was bald, his face was covered with oil, and his belly which was covered by a gray suit paired with a long white shirt looked like it was going to explode anytime soon. 

The man's eyes could not escape from Lisa's chest, which fortunately was covered by a t-shirt and blazer. And once she noticed it, Lisa felt like she was being stripped. If she didn't remember that Surya was her boss, she might have slapped the man in the face with her tote bag!

Since the first time Lisa stepped into this room, she'd already felt uncomfortable. Instead of greeting her warmly or getting up from his rusty chair and giving her a polite gesture, the guy just looked at her chest!

Isn't manners the most important thing at the beginning of a meeting? If this is the way, she definitely feels uncomfortable!

Perhaps, people outside this room respected Surya because of the man's high position. And it seems that Lisa must do the same if she wants to survive to work here.

Surya is indeed a disgusting type of man. And old on top of that. But Lisa was sure she didn't need to see him often. After all, as long as she did her job well, she couldn't possibly be summoned to this room that reeked of cigarette smoke.

Finding a job at a time like this is not easy. The high number of graduates but the small number of jobs contributes to unemployment. 

How could Lisa just give up when finding a job was difficult? What was on her mind was that she had to raise a lot of money for her and William's life.

Lisa tried to hold back the urge to throw up there with great difficulty. The woman smiled faintly, confirming her boss' words.

"Thank you, sir."

With lightning speed, before Lisa could even blink her eyes, Surya stood up from his chair. The man pulled up his pants which were slightly drooping and walked over to Lisa with a savage smile.

While reaching into the pockets of the jacket he was wearing, Surya's eyes couldn't stop tracing the curves of Lisa's body. He took out a dark blue handkerchief and wiped the sweat and oil off his face.

"Lisa, you'll be working under me from now on, so there's no need for you to talk to me formally like that! As long as you finish your work well and on time, I won't punish you. Ha ha ha!"

While saying that, Surya's body was leaning more and more towards her. The closer he got to her, the more Lisa could inhale the pungent smell of sweat.

Immediately, the turmoil in her stomach became worse. Lisa almost threw up the jam bun she was eating! 

Crazy! Did this man even take a shower this morning!? Lisa couldn't believe what she'd just smelled.

His fat belly was getting closer, the pungent smell of sweat mixed with the smell of cigarettes made Lisa stand up from the chair. She took a few steps back, holding her breath. She's not going to embarrass herself by throwing up in front of her boss!

"If you are okay with it, I want to work right away. If people say time is money, we can't waste any more time, can we, sir?"

The man then walked towards Lisa. He wiped the oil off his face with a big smile again. And, geez, did Lisa actually see the chilli cut marks on that guy's teeth!?

There are lots of people out there who flock to work at this company. But they didn't know what had happened, or rather what the head of the company's administration was doing in his room. Cigarette packs scattered on the bookshelf, not to mention his distended stomach, everything showed how unhealthy the life that the man was leading. 

"Cheer up, Lisa! I will always support you to bring more fortunes into this company. For example, if you have a problem, don't hesitate to come to me. I can definitely help you anytime!"

"Haha," Lisa giggled awkwardly as she tightened her grip on her tote bag, "Thank you sir!"

Without waiting for a reply from the bald man, Lisa rushed out of the room. Even though her superior's room was quite cold, the woman still felt sweat dripping from her temples to her chin.

Actually, Better Life is a good company. Many people try to work for this company because it is said that anyone who works here will get a pension and health insurance without paying a penny.

Lisa is also interested in working here. But knowing her boss was such a disgusting man, she felt uncomfortable. Just remembering what happened earlier gave her the chills!

As soon as Lisa opened the door and was out of the room, Aaron came rushing over to her. His face looked relieved when he saw with his own eyes that Lisa managed to come out with a neat appearance.

"Come with me for a moment."

Like a loyal dog, Lisa tries to keep up with Aaron. They walked in silence while the man occasionally brought up small topics of conversation. Such as why choosing to work here, and so on.

"Everyone, stop working for now." Aaron's firm and heavy voice managed to draw the attention of the group of employees busy huddling behind their desk. "This is Miss Lisa Soewandi, a new employee here. Give a warm welcome!"

All eyes that were busy staring at the computer screen are now on Lisa. Since she was used to introducing herself in unfamiliar workplaces, the woman took two steady steps forward.

"Good morning, I am Lisa Soewandi. I am very happy to be working here and meeting all of you. Looking forward to working with you!"

Judging by the expressions on their faces, Lisa could tell that they weren't interested in leaving their jobs any longer. There was no sound other than dead applause.

Nobody knew if Lisa was overly sensitive because she's on her period right now, but her new coworkers didn't seem excited to meet her. There were even some people who didn't look at her and preferred to stare at their screens.

On her first day at work, the feeling of enthusiasm and happiness because she was back to work just disappeared. But it wasn't long before a feeling of gratitude came to her. How come? Finding a job at this time is difficult and it turns out that there are still companies that are willing to accept it.

At first, Lisa hoped that Aaron would accompany her and show her her desk. But the man just told her to find an empty desk and then left in seconds.

What a warm place to work, Lisa thought to herself.
