When The Red String Of Fate Gets Tangled (Cell Phone Novel)

Part 47-51

Part 47: Different Place?

The moment I got off the elevator.

I closed my eyes.
Took a big breathe.
Opened my eyes.
And headed to the 'Candy Monthly Novel Department'.

When I entered the office,

The place seemed like a total different place.

There was no half dead looking people.

There was no tension.

Just regular looking editors in any editorial board. 

I asked myself.

"Did I come to the wrong place?"  

  ----------------------------------------- 

Part 48: Welcome!

I looked around. 

Searching for Aoki-san.

Who was the only person I knew so far. 

But he was no where to be found. 

I went over to a girl,
Who was focused on photocopying a document.
She was with a pink dress and cute hair pin.
She looked like a high school student. 

I tapped her back. 

"Um... sorry but where is Candy monthly novel editing department?"

She turned over to me. 
And answered with without a hesitation. 

"This is the Candy monthly ..."

Then she stopped.

"Are you the new editor?"
"Yes"

She jumped and hugged me.
And shouted, 

"WELCOME!~~"

Part 49: Introduction

While I was struggling.
Dealing with the cute lady. 

A man pulled her.
And took her off from clinging to me.

He looked very organised. 

"Sorry for that sudden surprise. I am Hisakawa, I work here as a editor. The idiot woman was Kita-san."

"HELLO~ I AM KITA"

"She may look like a kid but she is a editor here."

"WHAT? HISAKAWA YOU-"

I nodded.
Trying to ignore the situation.

" We also have two more editors not here yet, which is Ueda-san and Nishima-san."

I bowed.

"Thank you."

He bowed and looked up at me.

"Welcome. And welcome to the team!"

He gave me a warm smile.

I smiled back, thinking to myself.

It escalated quickly.

Part 50: Work It Out

"Welcome to work, Takahashi."

I turned around.
It was Aoki-san. 

"Thank you, Aoki-san."

He went to his desk.
Threw his suitcase on this desk .
Sat on his chair.
Turned on his computer. 

Put on his glasses. 

Stared at me for few minutes.
Then said,

"Takahashi, your seat is next to Kita... and come here for a moment."

I went over.
Then he handed me a huge pile of manuscript. 

"Put this manuscript in order. Somehow work it out. Good luck."

Huh? Work it out?????? 

  -----------------------------------------  

Part 51: Poker Face

Inside me. 
I could hear my soul raging and complaining. 
On the way he gave me the work. 

But I kept my poker face. 

Took the manuscript pile. 
Went to my desk. 
Sat on the chair. 
Slammed the manuscript on the desk.

Then I read through the manuscript.
Putting them in order.

Reminding myself constantly.

Poker face,

Remain the poker face.
