Chapter 489

Knocking on the door, Simon Howard walked in.

“Daniel, Valerie just called me. Mrs. Marshall didn’t take her to Harmony Village, and she asked me what to do.”

With elongated fingers flicking off the cigarette ash, Daniel Marshall took a puff of his cigarette.

His thin, sexy lips parted slightly, exhaling a wisp of smoke before he said in a disinterested tone, “Let her be. Don’t worry about her; let Valerie take a break.”

Simon wanted to speak, but he was met with a glance from Daniel, “You can go now.”

Simon didn’t understand why this time, Daniel and Olivia had a cold war for so long.

Simon didn’t understand either why Daniel didn’t try to coax Olivia this time.

Could it be that Daniel was tired and didn’t want to indulge her anymore?

If every time, it’s Daniel who initiates and gives, even the hottest feelings would make people feel disappointed, wouldn’t it!

That woman thinks too much of herself; that woman is too pretentious. Simon still didn’t like Olivia Jenkins.

This woman is not as understanding as Miss Bennet, not as good as Miss Bennet in the least. It’s a pity that Miss Bennet died so young, otherwise there would be no Olivia Jenkins, who would care about her then!

Simon sighed and wanted to talk but refrained. He had to withdraw from the CEO’s office first.

In the afternoon, Grace Ziegler saw the personnel transfer announcement.

She had been promoted, becoming the second secretary in the CEO’s office.

Grace was thrilled, but she tried her best to keep a low profile, carefully hiding her joy. The position of the chief secretary was her target. She was not entirely satisfied with the current move, which was just a big step forward.

There were other transfers mentioned in the announcement; besides the chief secretary and her, the entire staff of the CEO’s office had been replaced.

Grace noticed that indeed, several new colleagues came in today.

Suddenly, her internal office phone rang. The newly arrived HR director invited her for a chat.

Half an hour later, Grace signed a new contract in the HR director’s office.

After the promotion, Grace’s monthly salary had tripled from before. If her work performance was outstanding, there would be substantial bonuses. Indeed, to get better benefits, one must keep climbing up.

The closer one gets to the company’s leadership and gained their trust, the easier it would be to satisfy her desires.

After taking a taste of success, Grace’s ambition became clearer in her mind.

As she left the HR office, Grace’s steps were noticeably more confident and carried an air of arrogance.

Previously, she used to work like a donkey in HR, always at everyone’s disposal, like a convenient tool. From now on, that was absolutely not going to happen. She was going to make them regret ever treating her with disrespect.

Her ex-supervisor coldly watched Grace leave the HR director’s office, mocking her even though Grace was promoted.

“Who knows what tricks she used to get to the top, but she will never compare to Mrs. Marshall. Everyone in the whole group knows Mrs. Marshall is the favorite, with Chief Daniel Marshall personally giving her 2 billion. For Mrs. Marshall, Chief Daniel Marshall even clashed with President Michael Marshall. No matter how high one climbs, it’s just a two-bit secretary, not even a chief, what’s there to show off!”

The former colleagues chimed in, “Yeah, we’ve heard that Chief Daniel Marshall tried hard to make Mrs. Marshall laugh.”

“To win a place in the Marshall family, you’d need Mr. Alexander Marshall’s approval. And Mrs. Marshall knows how to please Mr. Alexander Marshall. It’s said that Mrs. Marshall is so powerful she drove her mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law out of the Marshall family. Now she’s on top, to her, getting rid of anyone she dislikes is as easy as stepping on an ant.”

“Also, Mrs. Marshall is a power woman. How can she be compared to a country girl like her? She doesn’t even qualify to pick up Mrs. Marshall’s shoes.”
