However, all they got in return was a long period of silence. The two ladies lowered their heads as they heard the sound of high heels walking toward them, and they held their breaths with their heads hung low as the real Lucile stood right in front of them.

“I’ve done everything I’m supposed to do. The decision hasn’t been made, but even if it has, I’m not about to give up just yet. I heard some news about the agency’s agreement. Apparently, the Michel Group has the right to end the agreement if the selected agency fails to hit their sales target.” Their conversation surrounded the topic of becoming the chosen agency—it was too amazing of an opportunity to give up on. Furthermore, it was a huge stepping stone in Sophia’s journey to get involved with the Michel Group, so they had to succeed!
