Jack had just received notice that morning: a new recruit from Northriver University's graduate finance program would be parachuting straight into their company.

Rumor had it she had a powerful background—definitely not Victoria, Jack thought.

The resume Victoria had submitted showed she only had an undergraduate degree from Northriver University. Jack seriously doubted credentials like that could land her the job as Mr. Garcia's assistant.

But since Mr. Garcia had specifically requested her, Jack figured he'd just watch from the sidelines and see what happened.
