Lena and Jade were briefly shocked. They noticed Jacquelin approaching from a short distance, swaying her hips as she walked. Her perfume's scent reached them even before she arrived.
Lena furrowed her brow as she found the fragrance overwhelmingly pungent.
"A pheasant should add a few more feathers to become a peacock!" Jacquelin taunted, glancing at Lena. "Right, Lena?"
Lena glanced at her coldly but did not say anything.
Jade immediately chimed in. "Jacquelin, how are the house sales going? It seems like you haven't met your target for this month yet."
"Ms. Neale, you—"
"Do you dare to say that I've set too high a target for you each month?" Jade smiled. "You know well how you've been achieving them each month. Relying solely on connections won't take you far."
Jacquelin rolled her eyes dramatically. The board member from the Thompson Group was several ranks above Jade, but she was currently under Jade's jurisdiction. Moreover, her relationship with that board member was not one to see the light.
Jacquelin snorted and turned to leave but overheard Jade continuing her conversation with Lena. "I haven't finished. Women should dress well to boost their confidence, not to please men or engage in unethical activities!"
Jacquelin turned back and barked, "Ms. Neale, who are you talking about?!"
"What's the matter?" Jade remained indifferent. "I didn't mention you. Why are you getting so worked up?"
"You're clearly..." Jacquelin's words faltered halfway as she looked at the duo, fuming. Never mind that she was usually under Jade's control. With Lena present now, she had to endure the annoyance of another person.
Jade smiled. "Alright, get back to whatever you're supposed to do! I hope everyone has good results today!"
Jacquelin glared at Lena, but the latter did not even spare her a glance. The sales center was currently devoid of clients, and some salespeople were making calls to old customers.
Lena did not have any old clients, so she was quietly reviewing materials and studying the mockups, familiarizing herself with the details of each building.
She knew that opportunities were for those who were prepared. As long as she was ready, achieving good sales performance was just a matter of time.
With that in mind, she chuckled softly and dedicated herself even more to her tasks.
It was then she heard Jacqueline's shrill and excited voice. "Oh my, Ms. Renee!"
Lena's heart skipped a beat. Looking up, she saw Renee entering the lobby. Almost all the salespeople gathered around her, including Jade, who walked up with a smile and polite nod.
"Ms. Renee, what brings you here today?"
Jacquelin was even quicker on her feet, hurrying over with coffee and pastries as she ushered Renee into the VIP room.
Renee asked everyone to return to their tasks with a smile and told them not to mind her presence. She kept only Jade and Jacquelin in the room.
"Ms. Renee." Jade assumed that Renee had been informed by Lina and had come to inspect their work. She took out the recent records to show her. "Here are the sales figures. If we compare them to the last quarter..."
