Jade spent the most of her night thinking of various ways to secure the contract with Acrosoft, but she came up with nothing. It was either her idea was too lame or it was an unprofessional approach. She had decided to be true to herself and not use any unhanded means like asking Amy for help.

Jade was sure Amy would be able to pull a few strings for her if she'd asked, but that would only make her like Cale. She wanted to do this on her own capabilities and she was certain she could do it.

Reaping benefits where efforts were not adequately sown was not her forte.
