The success of the East Bay Resort bidding proposal established Jaylene's position as the assistant director at Sincere Construction.
Meeting Mrs. Richardson at the dinner and being picked up later by Joseph Thompson in his Lamborghini seemed to silently indicate that Jaylene had powerful backing.
People can sometimes have strange perceptions, such as Hannah Taylor, who had always firmly believed that Jaylene had only climbed the ranks due to Ricky Lewis's favoritism. But after that night, she felt that Jaylene must be supported by some wealthy executive, and both the company's Vice President and Ricky Lewis were trying to please that executive by taking care of Jaylene.
In any case, Hannah's understanding was that Jaylene wasn't relying on her own abilities for her career, and the success of the East Bay Resort bid was entirely due to Ricky Lewis's behind-the-scenes help.
