Stella smiled as she scanned the entire room.
None of the members from Unit A had come forward.
The other groups sent a few representatives each.
About thirty percent of them took the clothes while seventy percent did not.
Darcie had deep roots in Caline; most of the staff in the fragrance department were loyal to her.
Just as Stella was mulling over this, she caught sight of a girl at the door delivering files, sneaking glances in their direction.
She raised her hand in a friendly gesture and said, "Hey, come on over and pick something out." The girl hesitated for a moment before rushing over.
She explained, "Ms. Hall, I'm not from the fragrance department." Stella glanced at her work badge, which indicated she was from the finance department.
The girl's name was Wren Adkin.
She looked young, likely fresh out of school.
Stella flashed her a grin.
"It's a gift.
You should take it while you have the chance." Wren's eyes lit up.
She blushed as she thanked Stella and joined the queue to get the clothes.
Jaylene stared at Wren in anger.
She clenched her fists and made her way over to Stella.
"Stella, those clothes you handpicked for everyone seem awfully similar to the ones I gifted you before.
Did you not like them and decide to give them away?" Everyone was stunned, thinking if the clothes were Stella's rejects.
Stella maintained her composure and smiled.
"Jaylene, I would never." "I picked out those clothes myself.
I have a pretty good memory, Stella.
I still have the receipts on my phone," Jaylene scoffed.
Stella met her gaze.
