“We’re so lucky to get not just one but two elites joining our team!”
“This project is going to be a huge success. Thank you for agreeing to help us out with this one,”
“I’m really looking forward to learning from you two. Thank you for joining us,”
While Richard stood with a face void of any emotion next to me, we were welcomed by everyone in our new team. I had never had such words of welcome or compliment showered on me like this at the start of a project before. Being called an ‘elite’ made me feel slightly uncomfortable because I wasn’t certain if I was suitable for such a title. While I felt glad yet a little unsettled, Richard seemed used to this kind of reception that we were getting.
“Thank you. I look forward to working with everyone,” I said before showing what I hoped was a very friendly smile.
