Chapter 1515
"Considering how well-acquainted she is with the people at the jewelry store, shouldn't she be aware of why I fired
that designer?" Stella stated calmly.
Trevor chuckled. "Regardless, you'll have to provide me with an explanation, so I can give her something."
Since Jaylene had already made the request, Trevor naturally could not just ignore it. He came to ask Stella for a
reason just so he could provide an answer to Jaylene.
Trevor cherished his younger sister, Jaylene, since they grew up together. Even after the makeup artist incident,
Jaylene worked hard to mend their sibling relationship. Even though Trevor felt somewhat distant from her, he could
not completely ignore or avoid interacting with her.
Stella thought about the situation and said, "Now that the jewelry store is in my hands, I must reorganize its
operations. Originally, I didn't plan to make such swift changes to the staff, but this designer practically forced my
hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"She's opportunistic, lacks skill, and keeps mentioning Mrs. Saun this and Mrs. Saun that. I'm The Velvet's boss now.
I can't allow someone to casually invoke the previous owner's name to pressure me. Since she doesn't acknowledge
me as the new owner, I have no reason to keep her.
The Velvet upholds a high-end and luxurious image. Their service should by no means involve excessive flattery
toward customers. A brand should exude confidence and integrity rather than pouncing on a big client the moment
they walk in. If I was shopping and witnessed that behavior, I'd probably lose interest in buying anything from
them," she continued.
"The Velvet has a lot of issues. Not only do they resist me as the new boss, but there are also significant problems
with their products and their overall service attitude. I have to make a change somewhere.”
"Are you planning to revamp everything from top to bottom?" asked Trevor.
Stella froze. "How could that be possible? Re-recruiting new employees and going through the training process
would be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Besides, a complete change may not necessarily be a good
thing. If I just came in and replaced everyone, others might think I either don't have the ability to manage this
group, or I lack the tolerance to accommodate former workers.
'These employees have been working here for so long. Nobody understands the company's operations better than
them. Even though I let go of Barbara, I also appointed a new team leader. I wanted to show these people that I'm
the boss now. I employ my staff based on merit, not just personal connections. I won't tolerate anyone who's not
focused on their job."
Trevor listened and smiled. "Didn’t you tell dad that you don’t understand the business world? Why does it seem like
you do?"
Stella sighed. "It's true that I don't understand much about the industry, but
I have a strategist."
Trevor's eyes lit up. "Did Keegan ask Aldor to help you? Stella, tell Aldor to work for me. Whatever Keegan's paying
him, I'll double it!"
Stella did not know what to say.
Aldor was a top-notch personal assistant and was practically a household name in their circle. Not only did Stella

’No. Actually, it's Mr. Snyder who's been helping me," Stella said and shattered his dream.
Trevor was stunned to hear that. His enthusiasm faded and was quickly replaced by a hint of disdain. "What kind of
strategist is he? He's more like a troublemaker."
The two continued chatting for a while. Then, Trevor got up and said," Alright. I'll be heading out now. You should
get some rest."
Stella got up to see him off. As they walked down the stairs, she said," Trevor, since you don't have a girlfriend right
now, why don't you stay at home more often? Dad is getting older, and we should spend more time with him. He
was so happy when I agreed to live here."
Trevor chuckled. "That's because it's you. If I were to come back and stay for a few days, he'd probably find me
annoying.”
'Well, you should still come back," Stella whispered. "What if I have a date with Keegan one day, and I don't come
home for the day? You being at home could help divert some of dad's attention."
Trevor could not believe his ears. 'So, this is the main reason she wants me here!' he thought.
Back in her room, Stella lay on the bed after freshening up. She figured she might have trouble sleeping in a bed
she was not used to sleeping in, but it turned out to be the opposite.
