Chapter 1586
Chapter 1586Darcie's expression turned stern as she threw the papers onto Chris' face, "What a disappointment!"Chris kept quiet and dared not to speak.
The look on Darcie's face turned cold as she suppressed her anger and continued, "What he did is embarrassing me very much.However, it's not wise for you to fire him now.
"Firstly, Chris has worked with us for the longest time and is very familiar with the store's operation. You have just taken over notlong ago; if you were to fire two experienced employees in a row, outsiders might think you're incapable of managing them.Secondly, The Velvet is short-staffed now. If you fire him now, no one will replace him for such a crucial position, which couldlead to many problems.
Thirdly, if you cause a big scene and other people discover what happened to our internal operations, they'd start suspecting thequality of our company’s products, affecting its sales."novelbin
Stella sneered inwardly, but she said humbly anyway, "So, Darcie, how do you think this should be handled?"
Darcie replied, "In my opinion, it's better to keep him for now and give him a chance to redeem himself. However, you can alwaysfire him later if he still doesn't change his ways."
"Heh-" Stella scoffed. "He stole my money, and you suggest | keep letting him do it? Besides, it's a crime to embezzle companyfunds. | think it's better to have the police handle this."
Chris grew anxious, "Darcie..."He met Darcie's glare and immediately held his tongue before he could finish his sentence.
Darcie pursed her lips, "Stella, Chris had been with the company for many years. Although he did something wrong, he hasmade countless contributions. After you took over, he worked very hard to support you. No one is perfect.
Sometimes, it's better not to drive someone over the edge."
Stella kept quiet, and Darcie continued, "I understand that the business at The Velvet hasn't been good lately. Although youworked hard for the new product launch event, it didn't help much. How about this? I'll help you to get more customers, and youcan give Chris another chance. What do you think?”
‘Wow! I'm impressed! She doesn't really want to help Chris. Instead, she's just trying to regain control of the company,’ Stellathought.
Indeed, The Velvet's performance was not as good as before, but it improved after the new product launch event. Darcie was notworried about Stella failing but was more interested in her success in running the business.
As Stella contemplated responding, her assistant knocked on the door and entered, "Ms. Hall, would you please comedownstairs? Ms. Wilson came with a group of people, and it seems they're looking for trouble.”
Stella was taken aback. 'Kayla Wilson? Why would she come at this time?’
Stella immediately stood up upon hearing the words" looking for trouble." Then, she asked, "What's going on?""I'm not sure. There are more than ten people downstairs. Ms. Wilson looks very angry, and we didn't dare to ask too much."
After Stella left, Aubrey whispered to Darcie, "This daughter of Mark Wilson is a pain in the neck. Something's bad probablygoing to happen."
Darcie smirked, "Let's go downstairs and check it out."In the lobby downstairs, Kayla was sitting on the sofa while flipping through the product brochures nonchalantly.
From time to time, she would glance toward the staircase. She shifted her gaze elsewhere when she saw Stella and sat upstraight.
"Don't you have any better designs? What is this garbage that you're showing me?"
