In a daze, a fleeting thought, too swift for her to fully comprehend, raced through Chloe's mind. She felt a faint sense of familiarity in Frieda as if they had crossed paths before.
Chloe did not dwell on it for long, though. Leaning back, a mischievous glint danced in her eyes as she said, "A few successful cases won't cut it. I want you to assist me in crafting our next strategy."
Upon hearing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Noah's lips.
Frieda readily agreed, her response swift and confident, "No problem."
After she departed, Noah reached for a pen and twirled it between his fingers. "You were testing Frieda," he remarked.
Chloe shook her head. "Not entirely. To have become number one in sales, she must be special. She just seems familiar to me, and I wish to use this opportunity to get closer and see if it jogs my memory."
Noah remembered how Frieda had impressed the interviewers when she applied with the company several years ago. Despite her seemingly blank resume, she displayed a profound understanding of the luxury goods industry, especially in understanding the psychology of wealthy shoppers. It was this expertise in navigating their buying mentality that garnered her exceptional recognition during the recruitment process.

Upon arriving home, Frieda wasted no time in sending a few successful case studies to Chloe's email and sharing her thoughts on the new proposal. And in a not-so-subtle reminder, she said not to forget the invitation to the conference.
Upon receiving the email, Chloe promptly sent an invitation letter to Frieda via a local courier service. To her surprise, Frieda called on the day of the forum to say that she had misplaced the invitation and hoped to receive another one.
Chloe hesitated and did not respond immediately.
Frieda quickly added, "I promise a performance increase of 10% next month."
