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

Audrey remarked, "Michael, don't comfort me. You're not out of your mind, so why would you risk your future working here?

"Don't worry about explaining things to Alistair. I'll help you out. You want to join my company, but I won't accept you."

As soon as Audrey said she didn't want him, Michael panicked.

He was so desperate that he raised his hands and swore, "Ms. Rhodes, you have to believe me. I'm not crazy. I've thought this through very carefully before pursuing this opportunity." Audrey still wasn't convinced and asked, "Then tell me, why would you give up the high pay at the Hayes Group to join me here?"

She was sure Michael couldn't come up with a good reason.

To her surprise, Michael remained calm and replied, "Ms. Rhodes, to be honest, I'm about to get married, and my fiancée is from Riverdale."

With a guilty expression, Michael continued, "We've been in a long-distance relationship for years. She was always the one traveling to Willowdale to see me, and I rarely had time to spend with her.

"This job gives me the chance to settle in Riverdale. If I couldn't work here, our relationship might face a crisis." Michael and his girlfriend loved each other deeply, and over the years she had made a lot of sacrifices for him. Now, with a chance finally available to resolve the long-distance issue, Michael was determined to seize it. Even though Michael would be working in another city, his salary had not decreased; it had actually increased. Furthermore, Alistair had promised Michael a 5% bonus once Rhodes Enterprises went public.

Unless Michael was out of his mind, he wouldn't pass up such a great opportunity to get rich.

Audrey felt a little unsure and asked, "Are you really doing this for your girlfriend? Not being forced or anything?"

Michael nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course. Don't you understand Mr. Hayes' nature by now? How could he ever make things hard for his team?

"Don't you trust me, Ms. Rhodes? Is that your way of rejecting me?"

Audrey shook her hand and sincerely said, "No, it's not like that. I see how capable you've been during these past few days. Although Emily is careful and thoughtful, she gets overwhelmed during big events and doesn't handle things as well as you do. "I've been considering hiring another person to assist me along with her. If you can join, that would be perfect."

Audrey wasn't complimenting Michael.

She truly needed more assistance.

Having Michael around would be exactly what she wanted.

After hearing Audrey's words, Michael asked eagerly, "Can I start today?"

Audrey nodded and said, "Yes, you can have Emily guide you through the onboarding process later." Michael left with a joyful spring in his step.

Audrey watched him walk away, pondering whether to call Alistair. She took out her phone but hesitated.

If the offer hadn't been enticing enough, Michael wouldn't have even considered joining Rhodes Enterprises.

With Michael around, things would be much easier for Audrey.

She pondered, 'Alistair has helped me so much; just giving him a thank-you call seems really insincere.

'I should at least do something to show my gratitude, right?

'But Alistair seems to have everything he needs.'

For a moment, Audrey was at a loss about what to do.

She was with Alistair almost every day, but she really couldn't think of anything that would surprise him.

Furthermore, she seldom surprises.

Audrey murmured, "Ugh, planning a surprise is harder than handling a new project."

Audrey sighed, letting her head fall onto the desk.

After a moment, a great idea suddenly occurred to her, and she remembered someone. Audrey jumped to her feet, grabbed the phone, and dialed a number.
