Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

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.

Jade smiled. "Alright, get back to whatever you're supposed to do! I hope everyone has good results today!"

Jacquelin glared at Lena, but the latter did not even spare her a glance. The sales center was currently devoid of

clients, and some salespeople were making calls to old customers.

Lena did not have any old clients, so she was quietly reviewing materials and studying the mockups, familiarizing

herself with the details of each building.

She knew that opportunities were for those who were prepared. As long as she was ready, achieving good sales

performance was just a matter of time.

With that in mind, she chuckled softly and dedicated herself even more to her tasks.

It was then she heard Jacqueline's shrill and excited voice. "Oh my, Ms. Renee!"

Lena's heart skipped a beat. Looking up, she saw Renee entering the lobby. Almost all the salespeople gathered

around her, including Jade, who walked up with a smile and polite nod.

"Ms. Renee, what brings you here today?"

Jacquelin was even quicker on her feet, hurrying over with coffee and pastries as she ushered Renee into the VIP

room.

Renee asked everyone to return to their tasks with a smile and told them not to mind her presence. She kept only

Jade and Jacquelin in the room.

"Ms. Renee." Jade assumed that Renee had been informed by Lina and had come to inspect their work. She took

out the recent records to show her. "Here are the sales figures. If we compare them to the last quarter..."

"Alright, you can put that down for now." Renee sipped her coffee, her gaze wandering outside.

In fact, the moment she entered, she noticed Lena standing in the lobby. She had not expected to see Lena in a

sky-blue blouse, a knee-length white skirt, and a pair of cream high heels.

Lena was a completely different person now—and even more unusual was her makeup.

Renee frowned, feeling that the lipstick color on Lena was...

"Ms. Renee?" Jacquelin inquired, flashing a friendly smile. "Is everything okay? Are you observing Lena? Should I get

her here?"

"No, it's fine," Renee replied, regaining her composure. She pretended to review some records while discreetly

checking last month's figures. As Jacquelin had informed her earlier, Lena hadn't completed any sales tasks in the

past six weeks.

Renee raised her head and coincidentally locked eyes with Jacquelin. Both women exchanged a subtle, knowing

glance. Jacquelin nodded at Renee almost unnoticeably.

Renee cleared her throat, speaking deliberately. "Lena seems to have not completed any sales tasks, right?"

"Yes!" Jacquelin laughed. "Ms. Renee, you should know she looks like she bears a grudge against the entire world.

She wears a long face every day! No clients dare to come in whenever she stands at the sales department's

entrance... Hahaha!"

"Jacqueline!" Jade's tone was serious. "Is your work finished?"

"Ms. Neale!" Jacquelin had no fear. "Ms. Renee is a shareholder. She hardly visits. I ought to give her an accurate

report of the situation!"

Just as Jade was about to speak, Renee interrupted her.

Jacquelin gloated. Ever since she caught Renee glancing at Lena during the last company meeting, she had pieced

together something about their connection. It probably wasn't a friendly one. In fact, they might just be rivals.

With this in mind, Jacquelin realized she had to choose her alliance wisely. After all, Renee was Lina's cousin and a

shareholder. Lena, on the other hand... Well, who could say what her background was beyond Jade's

protectiveness?

Jacquelin swiftly threw her support behind Renee because she always aimed to please those above her and held a

dismissive attitude toward those below.

She enthusiastically exaggerated Lena's performance and even offered suggestions to help Renee out. "The

Thompson Group doesn't keep useless people. Everyone knows this! Those without performance naturally need to

be cleared out!"

Due to her own selfish motives, Renee gradually got closer to Jacquelin. Her visit today was an attempt to take

advantage of Lena's weak spot and get her out of the Thompson Group.

So what even if Lina found out? She was also a shareholder of the company. Did she lack the authority to sack

someone?

Renee took a deep breath and turned to Jade with a smile. "Ms. Neale, it seems that Lena hasn't met her sales

targets for over a month."

Jade remained composed. "Ms. Thompson, the company's typical salesperson development period is three months

to half a year. Even our current top salesperson didn't achieve any results when they first joined the sales

department."

"But the company doesn't keep non-performers," Renee stated firmly. "As a shareholder of the company, I should

also be responsible for it."

Jade frowned. "Ms. Thompson, you—"

"Have Lena leave," Renee enunciated each word. "Ms. Neale, every person in the sales department should do their

part and not only draw a basic salary here, right?"
