Chapter 18 Christopher Garrison


    J attended the second round of the interview on the date the Larson Group had assigned and


    sessfully 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.


    J believed the Larson Group would be the ideal ce to start her career.


    Before going upstairs, J went to a convenience store near thepany to buy coffee.


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


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


    "You''re wee."


    The voice sounded familiar.


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


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


    He had ck hair and brown eyes that twinkled with glee. He was wearing a navy blue shirt and suit


    pants. Aptop bag was casually slung on his shoulder. Although he didn''t seem handsome and


    eye-catching at first nce, he was tall and graceful.


    J 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.


    J was not interested in a rtionship 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, J walked out of


    the convenience store and looked at Christopher''s ID card hanging around his neck.


    No wonder ine 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 thepany right


    after graduation. You work in the design department?" Christopher asked, smiling.


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


    The two chatted along the way. Apparently, Christopher worked in a different department and held a


    higher position in thepany.


    She wondered if Christopher had stood up for her when ine rejected her application.


    The Garrison family was also a wealthy and powerful family. When they were in college, the


    information about all wealthy students was printed on the university forum, and Christopher was one


    among them


    That was perhaps why thepany listened to him and gave her another chance.

    "Thank you, Chris." J smiled gratefully.


    Thinking that she was thanking him for picking her coins, Christopher chuckled. "It''s not a big deal.


    Why do you always feel grateful even for a small favor?"


    J smiled, revealing her dimples. "I just don''t want to owe favors to anyone."


    In the past, J had deliberately kept a distance from him at college after he proposed to her. A


    few years had already passed, and Christopher had just helped her, so J felt much closer to


    him than before.


    Christopher smiled, hiding the joy in his eyes.


    It had been several years since hest saw J. She was more beautiful and graceful than she


    was at school. Her eyes were bright like the stars, and her delicate features made him like her at a


    nce.


    Christopher couldn''t deny that he had never forgotten her over the years.


    But he didn''t take the initiative to ask her out right away. He had been very immature in college.


    That was perhaps why J had rejected him. He couldn''t stand another rejection. Now that they


    worked in the samepany, he felt he had the chance to win her heart.


    "All right, let''s have dinner sometime so that you can return my favor, okay?"


    "Okay. But I''m busytely. How about next month?"


    J wanted to wait until she got her sry. She had to cover Hannah''s medical expenses, so she


    couldn''t afford to spend money on casual dinners.


    Christopher smiled. "No hurry. I''m free any time. How about I show you around thepany?"


    "Okay. Thank you, buddy." The smile on her face vanished as she followed him into the elevator.


    In the elevator stood another man who had a charming smile.


    "We meet again, Miss Lind." With a faint smile on his lips, Garrett nced at J and Christopher.
