“Miss Maynard, did you have dinner with Jasper tonight? How could you have drunk so much?” Yvonne asked.

Celine massaged her temples and said, “We had to talk about some stuff, that’s it. You don’t need to pry into my personal life.”

Not daring to retaliate, Yvonne hummed in response. However, her eyes glinted with hatred as she lowered her gaze.

Then, she abruptly added, “When you have time, pull up the quotation saved on my laptop and lower the commission by 20%. Add in a reasonable explanation that will be accepted by the company too. I want it by tomorrow.”

Startled, Yvonne said instinctively, “20%? The company will never agree to that. They might even suspect that you and Jasper have some unspoken deal. Miss Maynard, this is not…”

“This is my decision. As general manager of Terra’s regional branch, I have the power to adjust the commission within a 25% frame. Don’t you know that?” Celine’s eyes were cold as she asked the question.
