Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 18

Janet attended the second round of the interview on the date the Larson Group had assigned and successfully passed it.

At the end of the month, she received an offer.

The Larson Group had two separate buildings in the city. The design department was on the seventeenth floor of the first building. It housed a talented team of designers who possessed exceptional skills and experience. All the designers had graduated from well-reputed universities with flying colors.

Janet believed the Larson Group would be the ideal place to start her career.

Before going upstairs, Janet went to a convenience store near the company to buy coffee.

"Miss, your change is on the floor." Someone nudged her shoulder from behind.

"Oh, thank you." Janet turned around, took the money from the man, and put it into her bag.

"You're welcome."

The voice sounded familiar.

Janet looked up and met the man's gaze. Her eyes widened in astonishment. "Chris?"

"What a coincidence!" The man looked equally surprised.

He had black hair and brown eyes that twinkled with glee. He was wearing a navy blue shirt and suit pants. A laptop bag was casually slung on his shoulder. Although he didn't seem handsome and eye-catching at first glance, he was tall and graceful.

Janet never thought that she would meet Christopher Garrison -- her senior from college who had a deep crush on her -- here, in a convenient store like this. They had never met after she graduated from college.

Janet was not interested in a relationship back then, so she politely refused Christopher's advances. The two parted ways in harmony, so she didn't feel embarrassed to meet him now.

"Do you also work in the Larson Group?" Holding a cup of coffee in her hand, Janet walked out of the convenience store and looked at Christopher's ID card hanging around his neck.

No wonder Elaine was so hostile to her. It turned out that Christopher also worked here.

"Yes, I worked as an intern in the Larson Group when I was in college, so I joined the company right after graduation. You work in the design department?" Christopher asked, smiling.

"Yes. It's my first day at work."
