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

Alistair knew Audrey was worried about him.

Announcing his identity now at Rhodes Enterprises would definitely lead people to think this was all part of his scheme. Some might even think Alistair had Albert imprisoned just to gain control of Rhodes Enterprises.

However, since he had already made up his mind, Alistair wasn't going to change his decision.

Since Audrey didn't want the shares he held, he must become a shareholder at Rhodes Enterprises to support her.

Alistair lifted his hand to gently tousle Audrey's hair and said with a smile, "I'm now the second-largest shareholder in the company. If I keep my identity a secret from the management, it will make things difficult in the future."

A wave of guilt swept over Audrey, and she worriedly said, "But what if it causes trouble for you..."

Alistair said, "It won't. Trust me."

Looking at Alistair's confident expression, Audrey felt even more uneasy.

She knew he had suddenly decided to reveal his identity just to support her.

The company appeared to be functioning smoothly on the surface, but in reality, there was internal strife among the staff. Several high-ranking executives were not aligned with Audrey, and she faced a significant challenge in securing their backing. She appeared composed, but she'd been struggling to sleep for two nights.

Alistair didn't question anything, yet he noticed her worry, quietly supporting her.

Thinking about it, Audrey felt even more like she was holding him back, and she couldn't help but sigh.

She thought that if she had accepted the shares Alistair offered, maybe none of these problems would have occurred.

However, when she thought about the immense value of those shares, she couldn't readily accept them.

Alistair noticed the worried look on Audrey's face, thinking she didn't appreciate his decision. He quickly said, "Audrey, if it bothers you, I can keep my identity a secret. I'll do whatever you prefer."

Seeing the concern in his eyes, Audrey offered a wry smile and said, "Why would I be bothered? You're doing this for my sake. I can't complain about the benefits I'll receive, can I?"

Alistair wondered, 'Is she really okay with it? She doesn't seem happy at all.'

Alistair couldn't quite grasp Audrey's thoughts and was about to explain.

However, before Alistair could speak, Audrey suddenly sat up straight and stared at him, saying, "Alistair, no need to explain. I'm not that ungrateful."

Audrey just felt a bit guilty towards Alistair.

Since their marriage, he had been handling all sorts of troubles caused by her.

Their eyes locked, and a single glance conveyed deep emotions to each other's hearts.

The atmosphere suddenly became laced with an unspoken intimacy, though neither of them spoke. Audrey seemed entranced, staring at Alistair's attractive lips, leaning in slightly.

Just as their lips were about to meet, there was a sudden click.

The meeting room door was suddenly pushed open from outside.

The executives were so shocked by the scene that they froze in place.

Damian who opened the door wished he could escape as soon as possible.

It seemed they came at a bad time.

At that moment, the executives felt a sense of awkwardness and unease as if they had stumbled into a scandal.

They instinctively looked up to ignore the situation and pretended they hadn't seen anything.

At this moment, Audrey was even more embarrassed than them.

Though she quickly moved away from Alistair when the door opened, she blushed.

Since she couldn't escape from the situation, she mustered her courage and said calmly, "Everyone, please take a seat. Emily, hand out the meeting materials."

Audrey thought, 'Well, let it be.

'After all, We're married, and we didn't do anything against the law.

'As long as I remain calm, no one can accuse me of anything.'noveldrama
