Stella heaved a sigh of relief. Tm glad that I can think fast.’
She wanted to say Jaylene’s name, but then she thought that since Jaylene had invited Kayla to get their nails done here, she must have chosen a salon that Kayla visited frequently.
“Really?” Stella pretended to be surprised. ‘What a coincidence.”
Rebecca replied gently, ‘TH get you in the same room as Ms. Wilson. The manicurist she booked today is the best one in our salon. She can do all kinds of designs, including hand- painted ones.”
Stella smiled. “Thank you so much.”
“Don’t mention it. So, which design are you interested in?”
Stella looked at her and asked, “Which would give you the highest commission?”
Rebecca was taken aback and suddenly felt a little awkward.
Stella added, “I’m not trying to pry into your industry secrets. I’m very happy with your service. That’s why I want you to earn a little bit more. That way, both of us can be happy.”
Rebecca was moved upon hearing that. She was only used to customers bargaining for lower prices, and it was her first time meeting someone concerned about how much she was earning.
So, she said softly, “You should go for this one. I can tell that you don’t often get your nails done, and you’ll probably need an extension. The one with the highest commission is not practical, but this one isn’t going to affect you much in your daily life. You can consider signing up for a package for three sessions at a ten percent discount.”
Stella nodded. “Sure.”
Stella simply paid and signed up for the package without asking for its price.
After everything was done, Rebecca led her to the room.
The door was pushed open, and Stella saw Kayla and Jaylene sitting inside.
Both of them turned their heads around upon hearing the sound. Kayla was momentarily taken aback before she shifted her gaze back to the manicurist painting her nails.
