Lena breathed deeply, her heart racing, her mind a mess of thoughts that suddenly went blank. Despite her late-
night effort to study the sales department’s materials in the past few days, it all seemed to vanish from her
memory.
Jade Neale walked by the front desk and ushered Lena into her office with a smile.
Lena followed with a blank expression. As she moved from the front desk to the office, she seemed to be the
subject of whispers and pointing.
“Pay no attention to them,” Jade chuckled, handing Lena a cup of coffee.
She then lowered the blinds in the office. “The sales department is as big as the marketing department, both being
the company’s largest departments. With so many people, there’s always talk. Just ignore whatever they’re saying
about you.”
Lena nodded, looking up to assess Jade.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJade, the sales team leader, was a friendly middle-aged woman. She had a confident presence that wasn’t
overpowering and an easygoing personality.
Lina had asked Jade to bring Lena in discreetly.
Jade could already more or less guess the nature of their relationship. Her boss was safeguarding her closest
friend, so it made sense for her to do the same. In a rumor-filled environment, hiding their connection was the best
protection.
Jade smiled, adjusted her glasses, and chatted, “What did you hear just now?”
Lena scratched her head with an embarrassed smile.
“I guess it’s because you’re so pretty that they’re interested in you.”
“Well…”
“In our line of work, being pretty is an advantage. But remember, beauty is a powerful card, but it’s only a winning
hand when played with other cards. Beauty alone will lead to a stalemate.”
“Got it, I understand,” Lena said softly.
“Also, while the sales department is busy, there’s a lot of idle gossip. Don’t pay any attention to what others say
about you. Your task is to close sales and make money!
“As long as you’re making money within legal bounds, the company will support your individuality unconditionally.”
Lena could not help but laugh at the pep talk, gradually opening up to Jade.
Jade was someone who kept her lips sealed and was good at reading the situation. She would not spill the beans
about Lena and Lina’s relationship.
However, not everyone in the sales department was like Jade.
From the moment Lena took her seat at her workstation, comments about her never stopped. Everyone was busy
with work, so they would not say things to her face. During breaks, however, the break room became a gathering
place for gossip when they went to get water or snacks.
As Lena passed by, she heard her name being mentioned.

Lena halted her steps.
She had a strong ability to adapt to new environments. Although she was nervous initially, she managed to
remember the names of every person in the sales department in just one morning after calming down. She could
match each name to a face and even recognize their voices.
This voice was obviously Jacquelin Dillon’s.
Lena stayed composed and recalled.
Jacquelin seemed to be the sales department’s socialite. She had a decent performance, but the different outfits,
shoes, bags, and jewelry she wore every day stood out even more than her sales.
“Ms. Neale just took her into the office, and she ended up sitting among us?” Jacquelin pursed her lips. “The sales
department doesn’t even go through the proper procedures in recruiting anymore? At the very least, the HR
department should give a notification, right?”
“I heard Ms. Thompson brought her,” someone else said softly.
“Right, that’s it!” A third person chimed in. “I asked the HR department.”
“Is it true?”
“So, what’s her relationship with Ms. Thompson?”
