Chapter 11

Audrey finally shoved her suitcase into the guest bedroom. She tucked it into the corner and was about to hunt down some pajamas for a shower when the phone rang. It was Emily Norris, her assistant.

“Hey, Ms. Rhodes! Happy wedding! I’m not interrupting anything, am I?” Emily’s smooth voice came through the receiver, completely sincere since she didn’t know about the chaos surrounding Audrey’s wedding day. “Nope.” Audrey let her gaze drop, sitting down on the edge of the bed. “What’s up?” Emily never called at this hour unless it was important.

“Well, here’s the thing, Ms. Rhodes. I thought you were tied up with wedding stuff, and I wasn’t sure if this got you okay. Did you really agree to give Eliza the Vice Manager position?”

Audrey was taken aback, her mind going blank for a moment. “I had no idea about that.”

Emily sounded firm, almost agitated. “Then it must have been Mr. Rhodes’ idea. He personally called HR to appoint Eliza as Vice Manager, and he wants to take the resources for the Brightview Group project that you’ve been working on.”

Emily felt a wave of sympathy for Audrey. Eliza didn’t have a clue what she was doing and suddenly got such a big role. It was pretty obvious she was trying to push Audrey aside.
