“I resign, is that okay now?”
Grace Ziegler’s determination shocked the HR Manager, who stared at her with wide eyes in bewilderment.
“You’re getting a promotion, and a raise. Why are you being so irrational? If you can’t handle the position of chief secretary in the CEO’s office, you might as well go to Kyoto.”
“I won’t go to Kyoto, whoever wants to go, can go!”
With tearful eyes, Grace Ziegler left the HR Manager’s office, leaving him stupefied.
At this rate, others might think he bullied her if they saw her in such a state!
Straight away, the HR Manager reported the situation to Chief Daniel Marshall.
Back in the CEO’s office, the Chief Secretary asked Grace Ziegler to enter the CEO’s office.
With reddened eyes, Grace Ziegler kept her head down as she stood before Chief Daniel Marshall.
Daniel Marshall’s gaze was soft, he stared at Grace Ziegler and said in his deep, gravelly voice, “Sit!”
Feeling a hint of timidity, Grace sat down, but she didn’t dare raise her head to look at Chief Daniel Marshall.
Teardrops gathered and spilled silently out of Grace’s eyes, trickling slowly down her cheeks.
“Tell me, why won’t you accept the transfer order?”
“I just don’t want to go to Kyoto. Even Chief Daniel Marshall has no right to pry into my personal matters.”
“You went to university in Kyoto. Did something in Kyoto upset you? Is there something deeply memorable that you can’t forget?”
Without speaking, Grace nodded her head.
“Alright then, you can continue to stay in the CEO’s office.”
Grace looked up at Chief Daniel Marshall, “Thank you for your understanding, Chief Daniel Marshall.”
Daniel furrowed his brows, with his deep-set eyes slightly squinting. In his deep, raspy voice, there was a hint of tenderness, “Alright, let’s put this behind us. We won’t mention it again. Just work hard in the CEO’s office.”
Daniel even pulled out a few tissues and handed them to the tear-streaked Grace.
Grace nodded, reaching out to take the tissues Chief Daniel Marshall handed her; she was quite touched.
Grace felt that Chief Daniel Marshall was not as ruthless as her colleagues made him out to be. He would listen to the opinions of his subordinates. He was quite nice.
After Grace left, Adam Howard entered the CEO’s office.
Seeing Daniel Marshall smoking, Adam frowned disapprovingly.
“Are you trying to die early? Looking at you, I can tell something’s bothering you.”
Daniel Marshall’s seductive lips parted slightly. He exhaled a thin ring of smoke and looked at Adam coldly. “Mind your own business!”
“If your medication isn’t working, you should see a doctor.”
The look in Daniel Marshall’s eyes shifted, and a cruel smile played at the corner of his mouth, “My wife is a doctor. She prescribed the medication I’m taking. Why should I see another doctor? If you think you have too much time, I’ll assign you a pile of work so that you won’t have time for idle speculations.”
“A cold can be treated easily, but what you have is a heart problem! I found out that your wife is performing at the theater this afternoon. She’s accompanying a program at Miss Thornton’s art training center. If you’re free, you could go and watch. I believe your wife will be happy if you bring her a bouquet.”Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐velbin(.)com
Daniel Marshall glared coldly at Adam. He spat out in annoyance, “Gossip!”
“Whether you go or not is up to you!” Adam stood up abruptly and strode out of the CEO’s office.
Yesterday, when Daniel Marshall asked him to go to the music store to find out what was going on, he suspected there was a quarrel.
See, now they were in the middle of a cold war.
Adam was just trying to help a little, hoping for a quick resolution. Otherwise, who could stand looking at their boss’s sour face every day!
In the afternoon, Daniel Marshall went to the flower shop and personally chose a beautiful bouquet of red roses.
Subsequently, he had Simon Howard drive him to the theater.
In the parking lot of the theater, Daniel Marshall saw Benjamin Johnson, who was also carrying a bouquet of red roses.
