"Me!" Jacquelin eagerly handed over her business card. "Ms. Bayer, I'm a top-tier sales representative here. I'm very familiar with all the units and layouts of these houses. I also have discounts that I can offer you, guaranteed satisfaction!"
Jade ignored Jacquelin after a glance at her and turned to attend to other matters.
Renee stood to the side, clutching her bag tightly with eyes fixed on Arya and Lena.
She saw that while Arya was smiling at Jacquelin, she was holding Lena's hand the whole time. Then, she noticed how Arya was ordering around Jacquelin.
Arya would ask for a certain brand of mineral water one moment and then request another brand of tissue the next, even though these items were not available in the sales center.
Jacquelin hurried out to buy them just to please Arya. As she passed by Renee, it was as if she had not seen her.
Renee bit her lip, the knot in her chest tightening and making breathing difficult.
"Ms. Bayer..." Lena looked at Arya and hesitated to speak.
"Calling me that is too formal. You can just call me Arya."
Lena froze. Looking at Arya's sincere smile, she thought of Lina. Both of them were the same kind of people, reflecting the beauty of the entire world when they smiled.
"While Jacquelin isn't here, tell me about the houses here!"
"Me?"
"Yes." Arya nodded. "She's too noisy. I don't like her, so I sent her away for a bit."
Lena regained her composure and spoke gently. "If you're looking for a studio, I suggest avoiding a large one. These small loft-style units are budget-friendly. They come already renovated and furnished, have great ocean-facing views, and might provide more creative inspiration."
Arya chuckled. "Others all want to sell big houses, but you know how to save money for me!"
"Ms. Bayer..." Lena was dumbfounded but quickly recovered and prepared the contract.
Arya signed her name on it without any hesitation.
"I was planning to buy a studio anyway." Arya grinned. "I heard you're selling houses here, so I rushed over! Why let others make this money when I can give it to someone from our own side?"
"You heard?" Lena's heart skipped a beat. "From who?"
"Who else could it be? Other than that certain person, who else would care for you so much in this world?"
Lena blushed.
Not far away, Renee observed their interaction, her eyes red with burning rage.
