Chapter 1498
Barbara was taken aback and did not dare comment on Kayla's outfit. She stuttered and just could not find the
words to say.
Stella said coldly, "You're a designer, yet you don't have your own design concept. As a customer's image
management consultant, I can't believe that you cannot offer any effective advice on her outfit. What's the point of
the company hiring you? Are you simply here to find out the customers' preferences so you can constantly flatter
them?"
Chris remained silent.
'Why does it sound like it's directed at me?' Chris thought to himself.

"Since Ms. Tucker also thinks that she's not competent for this job, Mr.
Poole, please proceed with her resignation."
Barbara's expression changed drastically.
She was just pretending and had not thought about actually resigning at all. The commission from high-spending
customers like Kayla was enough to make her rich in just a month. It could earn her more than working anywhere
else.
"Ms. Hall, I'm personally recruited by Mrs. Saun. You have no right to fire me!"
Stella glared at her, Didn't you say you want to quit? Why are you saying that I'm firing you now? Or were you just
joking with me when you said you would quit?"
Barbara's face turned extremely red, not knowing whether to admit it. So, she could only cling to the same thing,
"Mrs. Saun personally hired me. I'll only leave if she doesn't want me here anymore!"
Stella's gaze widened, "Ms. Tucker, it seems like you don’t understand something here. I'm the owner of The Velvet
now, and I have every right to decide who stays and who goes."
Barbara's face turned pale now.
Aubrey, who had been quiet and following Stella, suddenly spoke. "Ms.
Hall, you just took over The Velvet, and there are a lot of things that you're not familiar with yet. It may not be
worth it to fire her at this moment."
Stella glanced at Aubrey and thought, 'She kept quiet when Chris gave me problems and did not want to show me
the accounts, yet she spoke up when I was about to fire Barbara.'

"Thank you for the reminder, but unlike Mrs. Saun, I have a really bad temper. I don't tolerate my employees
challenging me. And since this is my company, I only want people I like to work for me. The fact that she kept
bringing up her previous boss to threaten me upsets me greatly, and I don't want to pay her to make me angry.
"As for the company, you don't have to worry too much. It wouldn't really matter if it does well or not. This is my
family's business, and my dad is not going to care too much about it. I can do whatever I want.
"Darcie is very fond of Ms. Tucker, isn't she? After she resigns, you can help her find a job for Darcie. In that way, all
of US here can get what we want.’
Audrey pressed her lips together and lowered her gaze, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.’
Barbara listened to their conversation and knew that no one was going to back her up anymore. So, she
immediately shifted her attitude, "Ms. Hall, I'm just not very good with words. Please forgive me for what I said. I've
been working in this company for so many years, and it's like a home to me. I don't want to leave."
Stella replied indifferently, "Would you want to resign so easily if it's really like a home to you? Besides, I think that
you're very good with words. Otherwise, how could you have fooled Ms. Wilson so easily?"
Kayla was speechless.
