Chapter 68 Enthusiastic Welcoming Party

Hanging up the call with Vivian, Lesly called Lucca and Lulu, telling them to listen to Amya and Finley today. She chatted with the kids for a while before someone knocked on her door. "Ms. Atkins, are you there?" The person who called her was Lesly’s assistant, Hollie, "The department will have lunch in the pool at noon. When will you come?" "Alright, I’ll be right there," Lesly said a few words to Lucca and hung up the phone call. She opened the door and went out. Hollie followed Lesly and suddenly asked, "Ms. Atkins, after lunch, do you have any plans? We will go to the camping site near the mountain at 5 o’clock. There is still a long time to go." Lesly said, "I may just rest in my room. You all can have fun." "Aren’t you going to the spa? I saw many colleagues making appointments already." Lesly gave a bitter smile and said, "I’ll probably ruin everyone’s mood. So, I won’t go. Enjoy yourself." Hollie knew that Lesly was being alienated. But, she doesn’t dare to openly support Lesly as that would result in her also being isolated. Lesly would leave half a year later, whereas Hollie would stay in the company for a long time. By then, her days at the company would be hard. Therefore, Hollie could only pretend to be clueless about the fact that she was being isolated. She would not help Lesly in public, but she would not scheme behind her back either. This was the best Hollie could do. Lunch was a buffet served at the swimming pool. They could swim and play games while eating. Lesly planned to show up, eat something, and leave. But as soon as she arrived, her colleagues who were talking and laughing immediately quieted down. They looked at each other with a strange and excited expression. "Oh, Ms. Atkins is here," Bethany spoke first. She put down her champagne glass, walked over to Hollie, and pulled Lesly towards the middle of her colleagues. "Ms. Atkins has been in the company for almost a month. We haven’t held a welcome party for you yet. Why not we do it today?" After that, she winked at her colleagues. "Come on, let’s lift Ms. Atkins up and give her a simple welcoming ceremony." Bethany held Lesly’s arm hard. "I believe Ms. Atkins will not let us down." After that, without caring about Lesly’s reaction, seven or eight colleagues rushed up and lifted her up. They then threw her in the air. "Let’s welcome, Ms. Atkins!" Bethany shouted, "I hope that Ms. Atkins will lead us to make better fashion works and runway shows in the future! Let’s give her a round of applause!" The rest of her colleagues immediately began to applaud. "Welcome, Ms. Atkins!" Lesly’s colleagues shouted while throwing her into the swimming pool. Lesly instantly understood what they were going to do. But before she could react, she was already thrown into the pool by her colleagues. Lesly submerged into the cold water immediately. "Hahaha!" Above the swimming pool, her colleagues burst into laughter as they applauded and mocked her. "Let’s welcome our manager, Ms. Atkins. Hahahaha!" Lesly fell into the water. She adjusted her posture, stabilized her body, and swam back up. Her hair was completely wet as it stuck to her face. Sister Fei stood by the swimming pool and looked down at Lesly’s embarrassed look. She smiled hypocritically and disgustingly. "Ms. Atkins, are you satisfied with your welcoming ceremony?" Lesly looked up at her. Her eyes were dark and calm, without any emotions, but there was a kind of sharpness in her eyes. Bethany felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the look in Lesly’s eyes. Lesly swam to the side of the pool and propped herself up with one arm. She was humiliated, but there was no anger on her face. She looked so calm that it made everyone feel guilty. Lesly walked towards Bethany, Bethany’s expression froze as she took a step back subconsciously. Lesly walked step by step, slowly and leisurely. She walked to Bethany and stared at her. Her tone was light and calm, with a killing intent hidden in it. "It’s really an unexpected welcoming ceremony. I’ll definitely remember it." After that, Lesly looked at her other colleagues. "Thank you for your enthusiastic welcome. I’m a grateful person, and I will repay your kindness tenfold in the future!"
