Isabella evaded Jonas subtly and said some polite words in response as she
went back to her office. Alex had just come back from a call. So, when Alex
put her stuff down and went in for the latest gossip. Isabella immediately told
her everything. Alex frowned at her words. “He has his eyes on you.”
Isabella’s heart sank. “What do you mean?
Alex crossed her arms and leaned on the desk as she murmured, “Before you,
Winona and Luna were our worst salesgirls. Sometimes, they wouldn’t be able
to sell even one car, but your arrival motivated them. I heard that they sold a
sports car each.
Isabella mused it over, but she was still confused. “So… I’m the worst here. Do
they punish us?”

“Jonas goes on a business trip once every few months, and the
worst-performing salesperson has to go with him. Winona was the one who
went with him every time before this,” Alex shot her a meaningful look.

Isabella stared at where she was looking. She saw a long-haired girl in the
corner. She had glasses on, and she didn’t have outstanding looks, but there
was an air about her…
“See if you can sell more. You sold three, so you probably only need a few
more units to make the cut.” Alex patted Isabella’s shoulder, but she sounded
worried.
Isabella’s stomach was still protesting. She had no time to deal with this
matter, but she forced a smile and said she would try to come up with
something.

Alex said nothing more. Instead, she picked up her purse and went to see her
client.
Isabella went back to her seat. Right now, she truly regretted stopping
Gordon from buying a car. She’d rather owe him a favor than go with Jonas
on a business trip alone. She was starting to panic, but her belly was
churning. So, she downed another glass of hot water. Evening came, and she
got herself some soup in the mall next door.
When she made it back after her little dinner, the meeting had already
started. Thus, everyone was in the meeting room.
Isabella came in just in time to hear Jonas conclude, “That’s all for the
meeting. You’ve worked hard this month, everyone.” He then noticed Isabella
coming in. “Isabella’s performed well even though she’s new. Last place, but
don’t you worry. You’ll get better.”

Everyone clapped, and Isabella nodded politely. Nonetheless, she couldn’t
help but think that everyone was giving her weird looks.
Once the meeting was over, Isabella stood up. Alas, Jonas called her before
she could leave. “Pack your stuff, Isabella. We’re leaving at nine tomorrow.”

Isabella was shaken. She hadn’t prepared any excuse to refuse him at all. She
was going to say something, but Jonas had already left the office.
She heaved a sigh and started feeling her belly churning. She held down her
panic and left the office, but someone held her. She turned back and saw
that it was Winona.
