Nicky also recognized her. The expression on her face was that of surprise and joy. "Queenie, is it really you?!"
Queenie, who had been recognized, looked a little embarrassed. She pressed her hat down. "No, you’re mistaken."
Then, she walked forward quickly as if trying to get away from here as quickly as she could.
Nicky still chased after her and stopped her. "Queenie, why are you leaving after seeing us?"
I followed Munchkin and kept a distance from Queenie, watching them quietly.
Nicky was much more familiar with Queenie. If I rushed forward now, it might be counterproductive considering Queenie did not like me all that much.
"No, I'm not. Long time no see, Director Doyle." Queenie looked up, her smile a little stiff. She took out a leaflet and stuffed it into Nicky's hand. "This is where I work. It just opened and we have an event. Please join us.”
Nicky glanced down at the flier that was stuffed into her hand, then she looked at Queenie with puzzled eyes. "Your hometown is Zenon. You know this place like the back of your hand, so you should also know that there's a company specializing in technology here. Here, why not go try it out?"
She was a cherished talent, and Nicky did not want Queenie to fall like this.
However, Queenie just smiled and shook her head, "I don't think it's necessary for me to go. I'm fine now. What's wrong with this job? Isn't it good enough that I can support myself?"
Don't force her." "Yeah, you guys are probably attending Drover Night seeing as how you came here at this time. It just so happens that our event is a week long. You’re welcome to come after taking part in that."
Looking at Queenie now, her entire person was much calmer, likely because Zenon’s environment had an influence on her. She was no longer as impetuous as before.
"Since you know about Drover Night, it shows that you're still enthusiastic about your work. Queenie, you should think about it again." Nicky refused to give up like this and was still trying to persuade Queenie.
Queenie paid it no heed. She smiled and said, "Drover Night is famous. Everyone in Zenon knows about it. You're thinking too much, Director Doyle. I have to go back to work. If you want to chat, then drop by the store and we can have a good conversation. I'll go first. " She said nothing more after that and turned around and left.
Looking at her back, I could see that Nicky was disappointed. I patted her on the shoulder. "Everyone makes their own choice. Let her go."
