Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Victoria went about as usual in the morning, she waited for Jayden to leave before leaving herself, so as to avoid the awkwardness when meeting each other.

After all, their current statuses were weird.

They weren’t considered strangers, because they had met each other before; but even if they were considered close friends, they hadn’t met many times, and didn’t understand the personality of the other party.

Living under the same roof, they hadn’t even had breakfast together before.

Because Jayden would never have breakfast at home. As for night time, she would already be resting when he came back.

One left home early and came back late, another was intentionally avoiding the other, hence the both of them never got to meet at all.

Once she reached her office, Victoria went about as usual, working on the most trivial tasks. But because of her willingness to learn, she had a lot of understanding of the company’s products. She followed her boss’s instructions as per usual, printing out the documents required for the meeting.

A total of 20 copies were required, and she stood in front of the printer waiting patiently.

When the documents were ready, she clipped each copy up, and brought them to the meeting room, and placed them accordingly on everyone’s seats.

At this moment, the meeting room door was pushed open, Victoria had not finished placing the documents. Mr. Brown took a look at the documents arranged neatly on the meeting table, and the seats that were placed neatly. He turned to look at Victoria who was just placing the final document on the seat, it was a new face, “Are you new?”

He had never seen Victoria before.

Before Victoria could say anything else, her boss answered for her, “Yes, she’s been here for only two months.”

Mr. Brown was wearing a black suit, but it couldn’t hide the fact that he had gained weight, he was in his forties, there was excess fat on his face, and on his nose perched a pair of golden-rimmed glasses. Although he wasn’t good-looking, but he looked righteous.

He nodded, “Look, this is what work should be like, regardless of what your position is, and what you are doing, you have to do it properly, and make sure everything is in place. This is the right work attitude.”

The suck-ups behind him immediately agreed.

Although Victoria was new to the work field, she understood the social rules. Everyone here was a talent, she was just a small clerk, she shouldn’t talk much. With soft steps, she retreated quietly through the back door.

“Hold on.” Mr. Brown suddenly noticed her actions and called out to her, he lifted his chin, “Which school did you graduate from, where were you working previously?”

“Graduated from HQ University, this is my first job.” Victoria replied honestly.

Mr. Brown’s expression paused for a second, a little unbelievable, “A top university graduate?”

He was a little confused, she was a graduate from a top university, even if it was her first job, it shouldn’t have been in the position of a clerk.

“Why are you willing to work this job?” Mr. Brown asked curiously.
