Bab 40: Chapter 40

Ian and Camilla were given some time to rest by Marco, before having one of Marie Mendiola's people bring them to Krisanta Land's office.

All the head offices under the Reyes Group were located within R Tower. As the first company established by the Reyes family, Krisanta Land's offices were on the 18th to 21st floor.

"Are you ready?" Ian asked Camilla as they followed the Human Resources staff member down the hall and towards the elevator.

"I don't like lying." Camilla said with a frown.

"Well just think of it this way, we are really in essence trainees as well." Ian said as he draped an arm over Camilla's shoulder, which she shrugged off.

Ian rolled his eyes and laughed at her reaction.

"Relax Camila, I have a girlfriend remember." Ian told her.

Camilla rolled her eyes and shook her head as she laughed at how silly Ian was being.

"Yeah, we are trainees for the future CEO, who if I might remind you is someone we've never met." Camilla said with a grin as the elevator arrived.

"Exactly, so it's not a lie." Ian said as they got in.

"You know, most new hires are usually just as clueless as you." The employee from the human resources remarked. "You'll fit right in." He said with a laugh as the elevator descend.

"We met some interesting people from Krisanta Land yesterday." Camilla told the HR employee.

"Don't tell me, is it that Mike kid and his friends?" The employee said with a laugh.

Ian and Camilla were shocked that the HR employee knew exactly who they were talking about. It seemed that Mike and his friends had become quite notorious.

"Don't worry, the CEO doesn't have any apprentices except his own son. That kid is all bark and no bite." The employee told them, shaking his head in disapproval.

Ian and Camilla were both at a loss for words, they didn't know what to respond to his comment.

"The name is Hank by the way." The HR employee said.

"Nice to meet you Hank." Ian said with a nod. A part of him couldn't help but wonder why Marie would trust this man with the knowledge that they were the newly hired assistants in the CEO's office.

"I know what you're wondering." Hank said with a laugh. "Most employees can't know who you guys are and yet here I am, assigned to take you to all of the companies you will work for." He said with a grin.

"Would it be bad if I admitted to thinking that?" Camilla asked with an embarrassed look on her face.

"No." Hank said in a kind tone. "Marie and Marco weren't able to explain it to you. There are several Reyes relatives working here, including myself. The name is Hank Reyes - Laurel."

"You're a Reyes?" Ian asked with a shocked expression. "I knew you guys were low profile, but this is way too much."

"Wait till you meet my cousin, your future boss." Hank told them as he shook his head. "For me, this is only temporary anyway. Uncle Emilio is planning on expanding abroad and that's where most of us will go."

"Don't you have a choice?" Ian asked.

"Of course we do, I chose to take this path my uncle offered." Hank told Ian.

"You know Ian, we've met several times before." Hank said with a grin. "The other families are just way too showy including my father's side."

"We have?" Ian asked as he tried to think back.

"Stop keeping your head down, kid." Hank advised Ian as he clasped his shoulder.

Just as Ian was about to ask Hank about the details the elevator door opened and they had to step out, quickly shifting the conversation.

The sales department of Krisanta Land was on the 19th floor, as they made their way to the far end of the row of cubicles a familiar voice called out their names.

"Ian, Camilla!" It was Seth, one of Mike's friends.

"That one is a good kid." Hank whispered as Seth approached.

"What are you doing here?" Seth asked Ian and Camilla.

"Oh, we are moving around different companies and departments, it's kind of essential to learn our jobs." Camilla said with a shrug.

"Let's chat later." Seth said as he glanced at Hank. Everyone knew that this man worked with the head of the Human Resources department and he wasn't someone to be delayed.

"We'll come find you." Ian said with a nod as Hank led them towards a meeting room at the end of the hall.

The meeting room seemed to take up the whole side of the building. Ian assumed that the sales teams often met here since it could probably accommodate all of them.

Ian glanced at Camilla who gave him a nervous nod, Hank on the other hand placed a hand on each of their shoulders and gave them a reassuring squeeze.

He then took a step forward and looked back at the pair.

"Good luck with this one." Hank said with a laugh as he pushed the door open and went inside.
