Serena couldn’t bear to see Melissa always making things difficult for Calliope. So she took Calliope under her wing, introduced Calliope to her clients, and even gave her some sales tips and tricks.
“Keep in mind that you might have to negotiate several times before closing a deal. It’s pretty typical,” Serena advised.
Calliope nodded in acknowledgement.
“Maintain a good relationship with your clients. They’ll be more willing to do business with you. as they get to know you better.”
“Okay, I’m aware of that,” Calliope replied.
“Of course, the most important quality you need to have to succeed in sales is to be thick- skinned. That’s the only way you can make money. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Serena chuckled.
Calliope smiled widely, her eyes turning into
crescent moons. Just then, the display in front of them indicated their food order number. Calliope swiftly made her way to the counter to retrieve
their food.
For lunch, they had fast food. Serena noticed that Calliope only ordered a cheap vegetarian dish. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is that enough to fill you up?”
“I’ll be okay.” Calliope smiled. “I have a small appetite.”
“No, you need to fuel up to be successful in sales. Just look at you. You’re so small…” A thought suddenly crossed Serena’s mind. “Did Dominic take all your money?”
Calliope was about to explain when she received a text message from Dominic.
After reading the text, she fell silent. Serena noticed her friend’s somber mood and snatched her phone, almost jumping in anger as she read the message.
“That idiot!” Serena snapped, “H–He went shopping? And wants to buy himself a belt that costs three thousand?”
“Shush, Serena!” Calliope quickly calmed her down.
Dominic had been acting strangely lately. He was always coming up with ways to enjoy life. Once, Calliope called him out of the blue and asked what he was up to, but she never expected him to tell her he was having high tea.
Calliope then followed up with another question, asking where he was. He replied with a photo of

Grandeur Hotel, and she almost fainted in shock.
Not long after, Calliope received a text message from the bank regarding the amount spent on her debit card.
When she saw the total, she fell into a spiral of despair.
However, to maintain the persona of a wealthy girl, she had no choice but to let him be with a smile.
Her bank balance declined rapidly as similar incidents kept occurring. Nevertheless, he would brush it off whenever she questioned him about it Penelope, you’re a Gingrich. Why are you making such a big fuss over a small amount?”
She bit her lip and glared at him. Eventually, she had no choice but to return to her room and work on her sales proposal, feeling dejected.
Little did she know how happy Dominic looked behind her.
It was as if he had successfully pulled a prank and was just one step away from winning the game.
At present, Calliope checked her bank account on her phone and saw that she only had three. thousand left in her balance.
If Dominic was standing before her at that moment, she would have choked him to death. Not only does he have X–ray vision, but he must also have a calculator in his brain or something. How does he know that this is all the money I have left?
Serena reached out and grabbed her wrist. “Hey, are you really going to transfer the money to
him?”
Calliope paused and chuckled. “It’s rare for him to want something so badly. I’ll just let him buy what he wants. I still have a few hundred in cash, so I’ll be fine until the next payday as long as I budget properly.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Serena shouted. “Why are you indulging him? What’s so great about him?”
“I’m not indulging him. It’s just that…” Calliope trailed off and lowered her head.
Her heart ached for him whenever she thought about the solitary and difficult life he had lived. She always gave in whenever she remembered him going in and out of prison and constantly being bullied by the other thugs in his village.
And she didn’t know why she felt that way about him. Am I… falling for him?
