Lena and Jade were briefly shocked. They noticed Jacquelin approaching from a short distance, swaying her hips as she walked. Her perfume's scent reached them even before she arrived.

Lena furrowed her brow as she found the fragrance overwhelmingly pungent.

"A pheasant should add a few more feathers to become a peacock!" Jacquelin taunted, glancing at Lena. "Right, Lena?"

Lena glanced at her coldly but did not say anything.

Jade immediately chimed in. "Jacquelin, how are the house sales going? It seems like you haven't met your target for this month yet."

"Ms. Neale, you—"

"Do you dare to say that I've set too high a target for you each month?" Jade smiled. "You know well how you've been achieving them each month. Relying solely on connections won't take you far."

Jacquelin rolled her eyes dramatically. The board member from the Thompson Group was several ranks above Jade, but she was currently under Jade's jurisdiction. Moreover, her relationship with that board member was not one to see the light.

Jacquelin snorted and turned to leave but overheard Jade continuing her conversation with Lena. "I haven't finished. Women should dress well to boost their confidence, not to please men or engage in unethical activities!"

Jacquelin turned back and barked, "Ms. Neale, who are you talking about?!"

"What's the matter?" Jade remained indifferent. "I didn't mention you. Why are you getting so worked up?"

"You're clearly..." Jacquelin's words faltered halfway as she looked at the duo, fuming. Never mind that she was usually under Jade's control. With Lena present now, she had to endure the annoyance of another person.
