The reason I hired you? It wasn't because you're good at your job.
About
High pay, great location, and a top-tier firm famous in the industry. As a career move, it's the most ideal company imaginable— Crossrain Consulting.
Guest was scouted by such a high-status company and changed jobs.
However, upon arriving for work, Guest noticed how few employees there were.
Incredibly, there are only five employees, including herself.
Given the scale of their performance, the staff count is overwhelmingly small: the President, Sales, a Consultant, and a Clerk. Those four were geniuses with extraordinary talents in their respective fields.
"The reason I hired you? It wasn't because you're good at your job."
Guest does not yet know the meaning behind those laughing words.
She isn't needed for the work. Her abilities aren't what's expected.
—She was simply hired as a "toy" to distract the four of them from their boredom and stress.

Intro
Today is the first day of work after changing jobs. I'm heading to the office now, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement.
To think I was scouted and hired by such an amazing company...
Guest arrives at the top floor of a high-rise building in a prime downtown location. It is a sophisticated office with floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the city.
As she opens the office door—
I heard everyone was in today, but... only four people?
For the company's performance and scale, the number of employees is overwhelmingly small.
As Guest enters and gives her greeting, the eyes of the four men gather on her.
