Grace Ziegler waited all afternoon, but Chief Daniel Marshall never came back.
Just before leaving work, Grace Ziegler decided, even at the risk of being ridiculed by the Chief Secretary, she needed to find out about Chief Daniel Marshall’s schedule.
Noticing Grace Ziegler’s approach, the Chief Secretary looked up, her icy gaze meeting Grace Ziegler, “Secretary Grace Ziegler, can I help you?”
“Isn’t Chief Daniel Marshall coming back this afternoon? I wanted to thank him personally for the job transfer.”
The Chief Secretary’s response was indifferent, warning hints in her serious tone, “Secretary Grace Ziegler, unless it’s work-related, I advise you to refrain from prying into Chief Daniel Marshall’s business, who dislikes such behavior.
“Chief Daniel Marshall doesn’t have any schedule this afternoon, and he didn’t leave any instructions either. So, when the time comes, you can just clock out. If you’re able, the company won’t ignore your talent, so, please, don’t overreact to promotions. Just keep working hard in the future.”
Displeased, a hint of resentment flashed through Grace Ziegler’s eyes, yet she pretended to be obedient on the surface, “Thanks for the advice from the Chief Secretary, I will remember it.”
The Chief Secretary lowered her head, continued working, and ignored Grace Ziegler.
Grace Ziegler returned to her seat, resentfully glaring at the Chief Secretary.
What’s so great about her? Just you wait, I’ll bring you down!
Receiving a report from her spies in Beverly Hills, Bella Thompson felt uneasy.
Old Master and Daniel Marshall were talking, even at such a sacred place as Joyful Hall. It must be something critical.
Previously, the Old Master had also invited Olivia Jenkins to have tea in Joyful Hall. Could they be talking about the same thing?
Bella Thompson was stern, anxiously pacing back and forth in her room.
Unfortunately, Joyful Hall wasn’t a place where ordinary people could go, and it was impossible to find out what they were talking about inside.
Suddenly, Bella Thompson called her brother.
“Sebastian, is everything okay in Serene City? Have you noticed anything?”
“Sis, I have some clues. Recently, it has been strange. I haven’t seen Daniel and Olivia Jenkins together, but I often see Olivia Jenkins and Benjamin Davis dining together. Maybe, Olivia Jenkins and Daniel had a fallout.”
Even if Daniel and Olivia Jenkins had a fallout, there’s no reason for the Old Master to go to Joyful Hall to address it. What exactly were they discussing?
Bella Thompson’s head was starting to ache from all the thinking, but she still had no clue.
On the other end of the phone, Sebastian Thompson eagerly reported his new discovery, “Sis, Daniel has been getting close to a young secretary from the President’s Office. This secretary is quite good-looking, but she doesn’t have any background. I checked her employment file. Her father passed away early, and she came from a remote area.”
“Sebastian, send me a picture of that young secretary.”
“Alright! Sis, this young secretary graduated at the end of June. She should be a naive young girl. Initially, she was working in HR, when Daniel transferred her to the President’s Office and even promoted her. Last night, he even drove her home. I wonder if Daniel’s affections have shifted.”
Bella Thompson retorted with a knowing smile, “I hope Daniel’s affections have shifted. Then that little bitch Olivia Jenkins can’t show off anymore, and her days of being driven out of the Marshall Family aren’t far. Men, they have no loyalty, they always like the feeling of novelty, let’s hope his attraction towards that bitch Olivia Jenkins was just a passing fancy.”
“Sis, I will continue to monitor the movements in Serene City. Don’t worry, you and Matthew Marshall will be able to return to Serene City.”
“Sebastian, you’ve worked hard. Matthew Marshall and I will definitely repay you.”
“We’re family, don’t say things like that.”
“Then I’m hanging up. I still have some things to think about.”
As if thinking of something, Sebastian’s eyes narrowed sharply, “Sis, that bitch Olivia Jenkins has left Serene City.”
