Chapter 588
Aqua Grace was the manufacturer of the hair clips that Sharon had been selling. This was inspired by Patrick's suggestion, which she thought was a good idea.
She had already decided to visit Aqua Grace over the weekend to discuss becoming their ambassador. She planned to leverage her status as the endorser of Caltopia College's Alumni Network.
Now that the general manager of Aqua Grace had personally contacted her, she felt like she was dreaming.
"That's right. We noticed that you've been selling our pearl hair clips. Where did you get them?" Norton asked.
"I... I got them from a friend..." Sharon replied nervously.
Norton smiled.
"No need to be nervous. Listen, we'd like to invite you to become our agent. You can get our products at the lowest prices!"
Sharon's eyes widened as she cautiously asked, "What's the lowest price?"
"For example, the lowest price we offer for the pearl hair clips you sell is 2.80 dollars each."
"2.80 dollars?"
Sharon stood up in disbelief. She had been getting them for 5.20 dollars each and making a profit of 1.80 dollars per clip. Last month, she had made over 300 dollars selling them.
If she could get them at the lowest price, she could make 4.20 dollars per clip, a significant increase in profit.
Sharon felt her heartache at the thought of lost profits.
"So, do you want to be our agent?" Norton asked.
Sharon nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes! Of course!"
The opportunity to make money was right in front of her, so she had to take it.
"Great. Drop by our office after school with a guardian to sign the contract."
"Guardian? I..."
Sharon hesitated. She was about to say that she didn't have a guardian at Yorksle but quickly caught herself. Wendell had reminded her to say that her brother was working at 10KFresh for the next three days.
"Is there a problem?"
Sharon composed herself and replied, "Not at all. I'll bring my brother with me after school."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"I'll notify the security guards. Just let them know, and they'll take you to my office."
Norton breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up, Norton looked at Janet.
"Ms. Dalton, who exactly is Sharon to you?"
Aqua Grace was a mid to low-end manufacturer of hair accessories. The brand wasn't very well known, but the company was quite large, with annual sales in the millions. Norton had once worked under Janet alongside the founder of Aqua Grace, and the company's success was due in part to her influence.
"Some questions are better left unanswered," Janet said before taking a sip of her coffee.
Back at 10KFresh's Storehouse 8, Carlisle had finished his chores and was helping the movers load the trucks. He
chatted amiably with them, seamlessly blending into the work environment.
At 5:30 pm, half an hour before the end of his shift, Carlisle returned to the office to take a break.
"Did you sort out your problem?" asked Janice.
Carlisle shook his head.
"Not yet."
"Did something happen?"
Janice's grip on her pen tightened, worried that it might affect her as well.
"No. I think they're still watching me," Carlisle said, trying to sound relaxed as he took a sip of water from a disposable cup.
In reality, he was slightly anxious.
Janet was very meticulous. If she decided to dig deep, he wouldn't be able to withstand her scrutiny.
Just then, his off-brand phone rang. Realizing it was Sharon, he answered in Caulitornan.
"Is class over?"
Sharon marveled at Carlisle's ability to learn as she heard his impeccable accent.
"Yeah. Can you accompany me to Aqua Grace after work?"
"Aqua Grace? What's that?"
"It's the company that makes the hair clips I sell. They've invited me to be an agent, but I need a guardian to sign the contract with me."
"Got it. Wait for me at the school gate."
Carlisle hung up the phone.
