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

In the quiet conference room, only Bruno sat there, looking miserable.

He raised his hands to cover his face in frustration, feeling hopeless about the future.

With his abilities, if he hadn't been a veteran at Rhodes Enterprises, he could never have become the Marketing Director.

So, when Dominic offered Bruno an opportunity, he accepted it without any hesitation.

The Hayes family in Riverdale wasn't very prominent and their companies were average.

However, Bruno had heard rumors about the complicated connections between the Hayes family in Riverdale and the one in Willowdale. Bruno believed if he could align himself with Dominic, he might have the chance to meet Alistair.

Meeting Alistair was something Bruno could have boasted about for a lifetime.

However, life had played a cruel joke on him.

He never anticipated that Audrey's seemingly unsuccessful husband would actually be Alistair, the man he was striving to impress.

Now, in addition to working for Dominic, Bruno was so enraged that he could hardly refrain from rushing out to confront and punch Dominic.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Dominic, that idiot, couldn't even recognize Alistair, Bruno wouldn't have ended up offending Alistair.

Bruno was cursing Dominic inside when suddenly his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was none other than Dominic.

Bruno's expression darkened, and he irritably rejected the call.

How dare Dominic call Bruno?

After making such a fool of himself, Bruno wasn't going to be the only one being humiliated.

He must make Dominic, who landed him in this situation, pay the price.

*****

After seeing off the executives, Alistair and Audrey entered the office.

On the way there, Audrey remained silent the whole time, and Alistair felt uneasy.

He wondered, 'Is she upset because I've been too harsh on Bruno?'

As Alistair was about to explain it, Audrey spoke up first, "Honey!"

Alistair was stunned.

After being married for so long and hearing this title countless times, Alistair realized Audrey had never called him this way so loud and clear.

Audrey stared at Alistair with her big round eyes full of admiration and praise, giving him a thumbs-up and exclaiming, "Honey, you're so cool! Stunning beyond words!"

Alistair was amused and said, "I'm just glad you didn't mind me stepping in. Today was supposed to be your spotlight, and I kind of took over."

Alistair just didn't want to watch those people keep provoking Audrey, nor could he stand them pretending to teach her lessons as if they were superior.

"How could I mind it?" Audrey

replied. She knew that Alistair

always had many concerns, and she

firmly said, "Revealing Bruno'snoveldrama

actions in public was harsh, but

understand that we must do it.

"Considering the company's current situation, see being lenient won't

establish any authority, and if others

follow suit and push boundaries, things will only become worse."

Audrey had a clear understanding of the situation. During such times, loyalty, which was usually fragile, faced its greatest challenge.

Alistair's strategy of utilizing Bruno as an example to assert his authority was highly effective.

Audrey added, "Besides, it was Bruno's mistake. If you didn't expose his actions, I wouldn't keep him anyway."

Seeing that Audrey wasn't upset, Alistair finally felt relieved.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What are you planning to do next? How about seizing this opportunity for a complete overhaul?"

Since the current staff didn't meet Audrey's expectations, it was advisable to replace some of them as soon as possible.
