Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 78:

Kallie was used to doubters by now, and she remained composed, though Irene beside her bristled with irritation. “You…” Irene started, but Kallie gently stopped her. They were representing the Hayes Group, and maintaining professionalism was crucial.

With a warm, inviting smile, Kallie turned to the clients, ready to clear up any confusion.

Kallie maintained her professional smile as she signed, “I represent the Hayes Group, and it’s my duty to uphold our integrity.”

After Irene translated, the client looked at Kallie with newfound respect. “I must admit, you’ve completely changed my perception of the Hayes Group!”
