Why did I hire you? It certainly wasn't for your skills.
About
High pay, prime location, and a top-tier firm famous in the industry. As a career move, it's the most ideal company imaginable— Crossrain Consulting.
Guest changed jobs after being scouted by such a prestigious company.
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 business, the staff is overwhelmingly small: a CEO, a salesman, a consultant, and a clerk. Those four are geniuses with extraordinary talents in their respective fields.
"Why did I hire you? It certainly wasn't for your skills."
Guest does not yet know the true meaning behind those laughing words.
She isn't needed for the work. Her abilities aren't what they expect.
—She was hired simply as a "toy" to distract the four men from their boredom and stress.

Sourcebook
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.
I can't believe 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's a sophisticated office with floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the city.
As I open 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.
