Love Journal - As Told By An Emotionally Constipated Half-Genius

Chapter 121 - Little Labourers (3)

Overwhelmed was the only way Scarlet could describe her new internship life. It was very different working without Alex or Jasper with her. In fact, she rather envied the boys who had each other for company in the admin department. The girl often found herself left alone simply because the employees in the marketing department were always too busy.

The young writer never knew just how busy a.d.u.l.ts were when they worked. Nobody seemed to be present in the office at their desks and when they were, they were often on the phone or typing furiously and screaming at the printer. That level of chaos scared the poor girl into silence as she held onto the pile of doc.u.ments she was told to look through.

The girl had actually completed reading through the department's SOP and overview. She understood everyone's jobs in theory but looking at them work was a nightmare. Why didn't anything seem to match the image she had in mind after reading the papers? That gap between reality and expectations threw Scarlet off very badly. Without anyone directing her, the young writer tried to stay out of everyone's way. She wasn't even able to help collect prints or organise files because of her leg so Scarlet was left with no choice but to entertain herself.

Scarlet: Boop. Anyone home?

Elfie: How nice! I thought I was the only one bored to death... are internsh.i.p.s usually this boring?

Jasper: How do you two still have idle time? I'm still trying to understand what spreadsheets are... these stupid files don't work even after I've done everything the explanation videos online said!

Elfie: PM me the details, it's excel right? I know some basics.

Scarlet paused when nobody continued the conversation. From the response, Jasper must be very busy and struggling with the difficult things he had to learn. Elfie was idle but that was before he found joy in helping Jasper with his task. The girl sighed. She wished there was something she could do too. The marketing department and design department weren't very far from each other. In fact, the marketing department worked very closely with a lot of other departments such as sales, finance, design and admin. Maybe if Scarlet found an excuse, she could go over to the other departments to see what the rest are doing.

With her mind made up, Scarlet looked around and listened in on conversations of the busy a.d.u.l.ts.
