My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1496: Rejection

Chapter 1496: Rejection

The girl looked somewhat surprised at Camille, she seemed to not expect that Camille would need her help. She hesitated and asked, "Miss Armstrong, how can I help you?"

Camille smiled lightly, she didn't rush to speak of her tasks, but instead asked, "Why not call me Mrs. Simpson?"

After all, everyone calls them that way, almost forgetting who she truly was.

She wasn't rejecting it, she just preferred to be called by her name when Ayan wasn't around or when she wasn't related to the Simpson family. Because first and foremost, she was Camille, and then she was Ayan's wife.

So the girl always addressed her as Miss Armstrong, which she found interesting, and couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

The girl smiled slightly and said, "Because this is Armstrong Corp, so I think Miss Armstrong suits you better."

Camille also smiled, "You have a good insight into others' minds, and are willing to consider things from their perspective." This was Camille's praise for her, as she continued, "Well, enough of teasers, let's talk about the help I need from you."

The girl nodded.

Camille said, "I want to know the thoughts of the employees, whether they accept or reject the current situation of Armstrong Corp?"

Camille was very straightforward, without any beating around the bush. Her honesty relaxed the girl completely.

Initially, the girl thought Camille wanted her to do something risky, like probing the Armstrong Corp executives, or helping to sway opinions against Horace. Even if such actions could bring immediate benefits, they would ultimately result in punishment.

She sighed silently and spoke softly, "Miss Armstrong, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"Are you doing this for yourself or for Armstrong Corp?"

"Definitely for Armstrong Corp." Camille did not hesitate, explaining, "Aren't you all guessing whether I came to Armstrong Corp to take over from Mr. Burris? I can tell you directly, I'm not. I don't have the energy or the desire for that. Managing a company, especially a company like Armstrong Corp in the middle of recovery, requires a lot of pressure and time. Mr. Burris is the most suitable candidate, and only he has the ability to lead Armstrong Corp better."

She looked at the girl. Before the girl came in, she had already messaged Horace's secretary. The girl had no relation to the Armstrong family or anyone related to them. She got into Armstrong Corp based on her own abilities, and her role in Armstrong Corp was not particularly important. That's why Camille thought of seeking her help.

As for Camille's honesty with her, she also considered whether it would be spread around?

Even if it did, it wouldn't matter.

If it didn't, that would be better.

Camille looked at the girl and asked, "What I want you to do is not something that undermines professional ethics. I just want you to help me gather voices. I want to know how the senior members in the eyes of the lowest-level employees at Armstrong Corp are perceived? I also want to know if their intentions align with the good of Armstrong Corp."

If not, the consequence would be leaving Armstrong Corp.

If so, Armstrong Corp would not treat them unfairly.

Especially with Brody in jail and Page deceased, the Armstrong family was almost crumbling. In such a situation, it was difficult for those with scattered shares not to have ulterior motives.

Camille wanted to thoroughly understand those with scattered shares. If they had intentions to sell their shares, it would naturally pass to Camille, Grace, or Horace. If they wanted to pass on their shares to those with different intentions toward Armstrong Corp, it would not be good for the company.

Camille gave the girl a few minutes to consider. She wanted her to think about whether she was willing to do this before getting into the topic further.

After a brief consideration, the girl finally said, "I'm willing."

She still had three years left on her contract with Armstrong Corp. She didn't care about the situation after three years; she cared about the present and tomorrow.

Camille nodded, looking into the girl's eyes, "Do you believe in me?"

The girl didn't know what to think, but just nodded in agreement, "Of course."

"Good, since you believe, we don't need to sign any agreements. I can assure you that even after your contract with Armstrong Corp expires, if you don't want to stay, I can recommend you to other companies. But the prerequisite is that your business capabilities must be up to par because the companies I recommend are not inferior and aren't putting you in early retirement, but offering you opportunities. Okay?" Camille looked sincerely at the girl. She would keep her word, she wouldn't burn bridges. This was the basic honesty in being human.

The girl, of course, knew that Camille wouldn't lie about this because there was no need to. So she chose to believe in Camille.

Their conversation ended here, and Camille said to her, "You can go ahead, remember, don't force it, let it flow naturally. If they ask you why it took so long, just tell them you were understanding the situation of Armstrong Corp's various departments, that's all, okay?"

The girl nodded and then left the office.

As she opened the door, Camille's voice followed, "By the way, how should I address you?"

"Miss Armstrong, my name is Tina Ward."

"Alright, I understand."

Camille looked at Tina and let her leave first.

Tina returned to her department, and as expected, her colleagues asked her why it took her so long.

She responded with Camille's words, and the others shook their heads, not knowing.

Tina's department was essential at Armstrong Corp, belonging to the promotion department directly overseen by Horace. That's why it was on the same floor as Horace's office.

The layout of Armstrong Corp was different from the Simpson Group. The entire building of Simpson Group belonged to them, but Armstrong Corp only had a few floors, with other companies sharing the building, showing some distinctions.

Camille sat alone in her office, lifting the almost cold coffee for a sip. Then she sighed heavily, feeling disinterested in everything related to Armstrong Corp. She couldn't muster any interest or thoughts about Armstrong Corp. She had never imagined herself standing in the office of Armstrong Corp temporarily taking over as the general manager.

This was a kind of confusion for her. She would wonder, if Horace hadn't appeared, would she be the one in charge of Armstrong Corp now?

But thinking carefully, if there was no Horace, Grace wouldn't have left for abroad either. Perhaps everything would remain the same for the Armstrong family as it was before?

However, the matters between Brody and Regina were not something that had formed overnight. So the tension would still arise, and Armstrong Corp would ultimately fall to her and Grace.

If Grace hadn't gone abroad, then faced with such sudden changes in the Armstrong family, they would probably crack under the pressure. And all the responsibility would fall on her.

If Brody and Page knew that one day Armstrong Corp would fall to her, would they regret it?

Because they never thought about involving her in anything related to Armstrong Corp, fearing she would gain even a hint of Armstrong Corp's benefits. This idea had deeply rooted in them. Would they maintain a peaceful relationship to prevent her from gaining these benefits?
