Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Jaylene, dressed in a white silk blouse with her hair loosely tied back, exuded a refined elegance with her pearl earrings.

She appeared with two people who were carrying bags of what seerned to be high-end cosmetics and perfumes, judging from the packaging.

With a gentle voice, she addressed the gathered employees, "Sorry to interrupt, everyone.

We've all been busy since returning to work, and it's rare for us all to be together like this.

Today, with Stella joining us, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to give you all some small gifts." Stella internally mused, 'I bet those "small gifts" are likely an attempt to win over their hearts.

Now I know that Julia had brought me here just for Jaylene to showcase this.’ The announcement of gifts naturally excited everyone, leading to a round of applause and a lively atmosphere.

Stella glanced at the gifts and thought, 'Those are indeed cosmetics and perfumes.

They are not extravagantly expensive, but not cheap either.

They are certainly within the affordable range for the rest.' Regardless of personal interest, everyone expressed gratitude and admiration for the gifts.
