Chapter 125
Audrey: “Luther, since you allowed Tora to accompany us for the audit, it means she has management authority. So Flora’s wrong decisions i definitely cost your company?
Luther suddenly clenched his thermos tightly. His eyelid had been twitching since he left home today, sensing something bad–d now it was happening with Audrey. “Why don’t you tell me your thoughts?”
“Flora threatened me and slandered me, that’s our personal grudge. I won’t drag your company into this”
Audrey didn’t wait for Luther’s lace to relax, then shifted her lone.
“But she hired someone unqualified as your company’s legal advisor, seriously damaging your company’s reputation. Cecilia might not continue the cooperation. The contract states that if either party breaches due to negligence, they must pay double damages.”
Sweat instantly broke out on Luther’s forehead.
He wasn’t afraid of paying compensation for breach. What scared him was that if his company’s bad history was exposed, Cecilia would blacklist them forever. Cecilia’s network was complicated; it was better to skip the project than to offend her.
Luther’s hand gripping the cup showed veins bulging though he was older, his face didn’t look worn but full of scheming and calculation. “So, Audrey
means…
Audrey smiled faintly, “For this cooperation, Luther will give up 10% of the profit, and I will help explain it to Cecilia.”
She was just worrying about how to meet Cecilia’s demands and where to cut that 100 profit from ora handed it over on a silver platter, it wasn’t her fault.
Luther’s cunning eyes stared hard at Audrey. Where did Paul find such a sharp–tongued, meticulous secretary? Someone like this, if not used for himself, must be removed!
“Take your time to think it over. We’ll leave first.” Audrey got up with Tiffany.
Luther was still hesitating when the office phone rang. He picked up. “Speak.”
“Luther, Chris reported that our previous merger and acquisition procedures were illegall
all” The male manager anxiously reported.
Why report now, just when the administration was investigating Clayton? Was Audrey behind this? He couldn’t figure it out
Stride Commerce’s new secretary knew the company’s history too well? That was terrifying.
Luther’s eyes coldly fixed on Audrey walking to the office door. “I got it.”
He hung up and instantly put on a smile. “Audrey, wait!”
Luther stood and walked over with a smile. “Audrey, you always think of Kang’s interests, I’m grateful. Let’s revise the contract as you suggested”
Audrey turned and smiled, extending her hand. “Hope the project cooperation goes smoothly for your company.”
“As I said, the door is always open to Audrey with triple the salary.” Luther shook her hand to say goodbye.
Back in the car, Tillany gave Audrey a thumbs–up “You’re amazing! I almost lost sleep last night thinking how to give Cecilia that extra 10% pre did it today!”
“Just a coincidence.” Audrey started the car. As she drove out the company gate, she saw Luther’s grim face in the rearview mirror not far behind
my, still hyped, eagerly asked Audrey, if Clayton hadn’t shown up, what would you have done?”
Tiffany,

Chapter 125.
“Without Clayton, I’d find a way to get to Flora.”
Tiffany looked surprised but not surprised, then said after a long moment, “I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. From now on, I’m sticking with you
ere you go, gol
“If Mr. Gibson hears that, he’ll fire us both immediately!”
Tiffany laughed hard. “He might fire me, but not you–can’t bear tol if he fires me, I’ll work secretly for you. When you got rich, I’ll have contributed to your rise!” They laughed and joked walking back to the company.
Inside the company, Edana was persistently bothering Paul about the reserve warehouse of Baldwin Bio, She had a small signal jammer in her pocket, making sure Paul couldn’t receive any calls.
As Edana left the office and turned off the jammer, she got a call from Flora. Flora rambled nonstop, then hung up before Edana could speak.
Audrey and Tiffany had just returned to the secretarial department when Edana summoned them to the manager’s office.
“Audrey! Are you crazy? We’re partners with Luther. How can you poke into their affairs? Your personal grudge with Clayton shouldn’t affect company interests!”
Audrey and Tiffany remained silent until Edana finished her rapid–fire accusations. Then Audrey said, “Can I speak now!”
Paul raised his hand. “Go ahead.”
“First, Clayton’s law firm has been suspended. Flora hiring him as a consultant is illegal and will affect the project’s legality.
“Second, Luther and I have reached a resolution on the project. Edana, which side are you on, questioning me like this?”
Edana was speechless but unwilling to be beaten by Audrey.
“I’m doing this for the company! You represent Stride Commerce when you’re out, not just yourself if today’s matter isn’t handled properly, it will damage Stride Commerce’s long–term cooperation with Luther!”
“How do you know I handled it badly!” Audrey shot back.
Edina went speechless.
Audrey said, “Luther hasn’t complained yet. Tiffany and I hadn’t even gotten to the company when Edana was already well–informed, grilling me in triple hearings!”
Paul smiled faintly at Edana. Edana’s face changed drastically. Mr. Gibson, I was really trying to help the company, Flora called me just now, said Luther was very angry, so I thought
She knew Paul too well. If Paul gave you a cold warning look, you still had a chance. But if he smiled at you like this, it was probably a death sentence
“Edana, from today on, you’re demoted to an ordinary secretary” Paul leaned back in his boss chair, legs crossed laly “be very careful with the Baldwin Bio project
The implication was clear: if there was
another mistake o
on Baldwin’s side, she could pack up and get out.
Edana’s face drained of color; even her lips lost all blood. “Understood.”
“Mr. Gibson, about the contract, there are some changes…” Audrey deliberately stopped hallway, then turned to look at Edana
Edana knew this meant she was being asked to leave. But she was unwilling. She really wasn’t willing
Audrey’s academic background wasn’t impressive, and her resume was mediocre. So why, after just a short time on the job, did she caused to he demoted from chief secretary to ordinary secretary? There was even a risk of being fired!

“You go out first.” Although Edana was reluctant, Paul spoke, so she had to obey. She slowly walked out of the office
After the office door closed, Audrey didn’t say anything. About half a minute later, she looked at Tiffany and nodded
Tiffany handed the documents to Audrey, then turned and wont to the door, suddenly flinging it open. Edana, who was eavesdropping outside, was caught completely off guard and stumbled inside.
