Lily’s whole face stiffened, and with her heavy makeup, it looked like a rigid mask, comical no matter how you looked at it.
Sophie said considerately, "Mom, I understand. After all, it’s normal for you to be happy for Sis, since she landed such two beautiful deals on her own!"
"Two very impressive hotels indeed!"
Edward Palmer struggled to hold back his laughter as he listened, thinking that Sophie usually kept a low profile, making people think she was just coasting by.
Now it seems, it’s not because she lacks ability, but simply because she prefers not to intervene often.
Look, she made her move and it took the whole company by surprise.
Only, that mouth... it’s quite something...
No matter how impressive those two hotels are, can they compare with a property development?
"There’s no size to deals; as long as it’s the company’s business, they should be handled seriously. The company doesn’t engage in treating big clients favorably over smaller ones," Lily said through gritted teeth, her voice filled with righteous indignation.
"Of course," Sophie nodded with a smile, "So Sis should focus on the deals for those two hotels. Dad, with our branch taking over the entire property’s renovation, we’ll be too busy on our own and need the cooperation of other branches."
"No problem," Stephen Wilson nodded with a smile, "Everyone’s here, so let’s discuss how to distribute the tasks."
"Great, I’ll be troubling everyone then," Sophie said, smiling sweetly, looking extremely docile, but at this moment, no one else from other branches in the meeting room dared to underestimate her anymore.
This Second Miss Wilson, whom they hadn’t interacted much with, truly amazed everyone, making Grace fade into the background when compared...
No one is foolish; it’s clear at a glance who’s more competent.
Moreover, Sophie’s ability is bringing them big money, and they’re not about to turn down profits.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the meeting room shifted dramatically; the managers who just stood by Grace’s side were now eagerly discussing the property renovation.
What a joke, how much will the company earn from this deal?
As for the commission they’ll receive, there’s no need for precise calculations; it certainly won’t be insignificant.
Besides, as for those two hotels Grace landed, they’ve done well, but... do they have anything to do with them?
It’s not like they’re earning that money.
The whole meeting room was filled with intense discussions, enthusiasm running high, leaving only Grace and Lily feeling awkward.
The discussion continued relentlessly, yet neither of them had an opportunity to interject.
With two hotel deals in hand, Grace naturally couldn’t get involved in the property renovation.
As for Lily... she had never really participated in the company’s operations, so she had no authority here.
The more intense the discussion grew the higher the spirits soared, making it even more awkward and embarrassing for Lily and Grace.
Lily’s face twisted with anger, and when one branch manager finished speaking and subconsciously looked around to hear others’ opinions, he was suddenly startled by Lily’s menacing expression.
This manager’s reaction led everyone to follow his gaze, and they immediately fell silent as the atmosphere plummeted to freezing.
Lily’s demeanor was so embarrassing to Stephen Wilson that his brow furrowed tightly, just about to lash out when Grace quickly asked with concern, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
