My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 267

Alistair sincerely said, "Audrey, if you're thinking about replacing some staff, I can help you find the right candidates."

He didn't want Audrey to put up with the attitudes of the old employees any longer.

If she couldn't find anyone for the time being, Alistair was more than willing to help.

After thinking for a moment, Audrey shook her head and said, "No rush. Getting the company on track is just a matter of time. Besides those with ulterior motives, we have devoted employees. If we start firing people right now, it might hurt their morale."

Those who left in the past were already gone. Audrey didn't want those who stayed to be treated unfairly.

Hearing her words, Alistair said with appreciation, "Audrey, you're a natural manager. You shouldn't restrict yourself to just Rhodes Enterprises. You deserve to see more of the world. Would you like to join me in Willowdale for more opportunities?"

Hearing these words, Audrey was momentarily taken aback.

She suddenly remembered when she decisively dropped out of school, her teacher had made similar comments with a heavy heart.

Her teacher had said that with her intelligence and ability, she should explore a more exciting world.

Her teacher even mentioned that she didn't need to give up on her dreams just to stay with Rhodes Enterprises and settle in a small corner of the world.

Seeing that Audrey kept silent, Alistair didn't want to pressure her, so he sincerely explained, "Audrey, don't feel pressured.

"I suggested you come with me to Willowdale simply because I think staying with Rhodes Enterprises doesn't fully utilize your potential. That's all."

Audrey understood what Alistair meant and was deeply moved. She gently said, "I've actually thought about these things too."

With a slightly sad tone, she continued, "When Albert was determined to drive me out because of Eliza, I thought about leaving Rhodes Enterprises to start my own business, to leave Riverdale and seek new opportunities elsewhere.

"But now that Albert is in prison and I've become the largest shareholder of the company, I can't just leave now.

"Even if I really want to expand into Willowdale, I need to stabilize the situation at Rhodes Enterprises first before planning for more."

Hearing Audrey's words, Alistair didn't persuade her further but said, "It's great you have your own plans. Let me know if you need anything in the future."

Michael was Alistair's special assistant at the Hayes Group, but at Rhodes Enterprises, he would just be a regular employee.

Who could possibly accept such a job change?

Audrey thought Michael was pressured by Alistair, which made her feel uneasy. She quickly said, "Michael, don't worry. I'll talk to Alistair and have him reconsider the decision."

"No, Ms. Rhodes," Michael said.

Knowing Audrey had misunderstood him, Michael explained hurriedly, "I worked hard for the opportunity to join Rhodes Enterprises. Mr. Hayes didn't force me, so please don't misunderstand him."

Seeing Michael so nervous, Audrey was even more convinced of her suspicions.

Michael must have been forced into this by Alistair.

She couldn't understand why someone would choose to work at her small, troubled company, which was on the brink of bankruptcy, over a leading global firm.
