My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 54

With my clarification, the topic of the auditing ended. Troy could only smile and reply elegantly, "Yes. Alford Audit also looks forward to cooperating with Roberts Group."

After we had finished eating, I saw Troy off. Kelsey followed behind me and inquired, "Miss Reid, isn't Mr. Roberts planning to hand this year's auditing over to Brilliant Audit? Why do you want to do bidding?"

"If we don't do the bidding, Roberts Group will not only offend Alford Audit but also other auditing companies. Alford Audit is an experienced company. They have been cooperating with Roberts Group for all these years. If the cooperation suddenly ends, do you think they won't create trouble using our company's previous auditing results?"

On the other hand, I wanted to meet Troy to see if he had anything to do with the incident the night before. However, when I saw Troy's expression earlier when I had explained the bidding to him, he didn't seem open to that idea. Hence, last night's incident might have nothing to do with him.

Nevertheless, I couldn't absolutely deny the possibility. I could only observe slowly for now.

Kelsey nodded. She furrowed her brows slightly and then asked again, "Then, why didn't Mr. Roberts..."

"Why didn't he say it in advance?" I interrupted her and cast my gaze at her. I proceeded to explain, "Hendrix doesn't only need to manage me alone, he needs to manage the whole of Roberts Group too. If he has to explain each task in detail, what's the point of employing so many people? It would be better to do everything by himself."

"But you're his wife!"

Feeling amused, I looked at her and continued, "It's true that I'm his wife. Regardless of whether he's content with me, he's still the CEO of Roberts Group. I'm the director and his subordinate in the company. If I'm foolish enough to have him point everything out to me, he might as well send me home and make me a housewife. Wouldn't that be easier?"

There was no such thing in this world as being naturally smart. One would always need to grit their teeth and go through hardships in order to accumulate experience.

Back in my office, Kelsey made an appointment with Sawyer, the director of Brilliant Audit, to have dinner later that night. As for what had transpired the night before, I didn't say anything and kept everything to myself.
