Chapter 730 The Party Begins (Part One) (1/2)

”Come on, let bygones be bygones. We lead a good life now, don't we?” Alice consoled. Gladly, Alice changed the topic. ”I heard you're an expert hand at marketing. Do you often deal directly with clients? Have you ever encountered difficult customers?” she asked with interest.

”Actually, I've had more than my fair share,” Violet replied without a second thought.

”Tell me now. I'd like to know more,” Alice urged excitedly.
