Hearing Jaylene’s silence, Darcie raised her voice.
Jaylene pursed her lips and replied, “Got it.”
Darcie continued, “Stella likes mangoes and cherries. Have someone send some to her office. Also, inform HR to assign a driver for her. Look after her well, and your dad will see your efforts.”
“Alright,” Jaylene replied in disdain.
She tried to bring up the matter regarding Wren with Darcie as Julia’s words kept echoing in her ears.
Jaylene could not swallow the humiliation. She wanted to take action and assert authority.
Before she could say anything, Darcie cautioned her against stirring up trouble and quickly hung up.
Jaylene bit her lip and reluctantly put away her phone, heading toward the restroom.
As she approached the slightly ajar restroom door, she overheard voices inside.
Someone said, “Chanel perfume and Armani foundation. I thought she would give us something expensive, with how she talks down on us. I can’t believe she’s trying to buy our loyalty but unwilling to spend the money. She’s so full of pride. No wonder they say a doting mother makes a disobedient child. Mrs.
Saun is something, but her daughter surely isn’t.”
“Exactly. They’re just makeup products that are worth a few bucks.
Suppose we can use it, great. But if they don’t suit US and we resell them online, people will think it’s counterfeit goods. It would’ve been better if she gave US something practical,” another person replied.
