My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 258

Choosing her words carefully, Audrey said, "I'd like to request an advance on my design fee from KioWave."

Claire asked directly, "How much?"

As KioWave's chief designer, Audrey had brought immense profits to the company.

Requesting an advance on a design fee was not a big deal, and Claire had the authority to approve it for Audrey.

"15 million dollars," Audrey said in a lower voice.

It was her first time making such a request, and she felt a bit embarrassed. Without waiting for Claire to refuse, she quickly added, "I can deliver next quarter's new designs a month early and include two extra designs."

Claire responded without much hesitation, "You can submit the new designs whenever you like. As for the 15 million dollars, I believe you can repay it, and your designs are invaluable.

"Just give me an account number, and the funds will be transferred to you in two hours."

Audrey sighed with relief and said, "Thank you."

With the 15 million dollars from KioWave, plus the 2 million dollars from the program, Audrey believed she could handle the crisis.

She could easily have asked Alistair for the 15 million dollars.

However, at the moment, Audrey was not interested in engaging in any financial transactions with him.

"Audrey, are you there?" asked Emily.

The urgent knocking on the door interrupted Audrey's thoughts.

After regaining her composure, Audrey raised her volume and said, "Come in."

Then Emily quickly opened the door and came in.

Emily reported, "Audrey, bad news! I just got word that the shareholders in the company are all in a rush to sell their shares."

Audrey replied calmly, "I know."

Emily said anxiously, "We can't get in touch with Darren now either. He's the largest shareholder in the company apart from Mr. Rhodes, and if he sells his shares like the others, our company will be in big trouble."
