Chapter 531

After a moment of hesitation, Grace Ziegler quickly approached.

She had already planned to pretend it was a casual encounter, definitely had to greet Chief Daniel Marshall, and a meet with Mrs. Olivia Marshall would also be a good opportunity to probe.

Unexpectedly, Simon Howard stepped forward, blocking Grace’s path.

Simon Howard looked at Grace Ziegler with a gloomy gaze and a voice as cold as an ice cellar, started speaking, “Secretary Grace Ziegler, where are you hurrying off to?”

Grace tried to bypass Mr. Howard, looking straight ahead.

Just as she was about to call out to Chief Daniel Marshall, she was suddenly pulled behind a pillar by Mr. Howard.

Simon’s eyes were ominously glaring as he warned her sternly with a grave look on his face: “Please stay in your place. It’s off work hours now. Do what you’re supposed to be doing. Chief Marshall doesn’t like being disturbed.”

Grace knew that Mr. Howard was Chief Marshall’s bodyguard, who only obeyed Chief Marshall’s orders.

Was this also Chief Marshall’s will that she must not disturb his life?

Did Chief Marshall care a lot about Mrs. Olivia Marshall?

Seeing Mr. Howard looking so ominous made Grace scared. She looked terrified and did not dare to advance recklessly.

“I just saw Chief Marshall and wanted to greet him. That’s all. I am leaving right away.”

“There is no need for face-to-face greetings from such a distance. Chief Marshall is the Chief of the entire corporation, not a private individual. He doesn’t treat anyone special. You don’t have to worry about this. To Chief Marshall, you are just a secretary, just a subordinate. Please be self-aware.”

Speechless, Grace was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in a hole. She didn’t dare to look at Mr. Howard anymore and walked away with her head lowered.

Once Grace was far enough away, Simon Howard started heading towards the movie theater.

Thanks to Adam Howard’s instruction to keep an eye on this little secretary. Sure enough, she was really a troublemaker.

If it were not for the fact that she was a half-sister to the boss, he would have shown her no courtesy a long time ago.

Even though Simon had or did have complaints about Mrs. Olivia Marshall, sometimes really disliked her, but as long as she was Mrs. Marshall and the boss still liked her, Simon was committed to protecting their marriage and would never allow other women to interfere.

He did not want to make the boss worry, nor did he want to make it difficult for the boss. He also did not let Mrs. Marshall know. Simon Howard never reported this matter to the boss.

However, he sent a message to Adam Howard thanking him for the reminder.

From now on, Simon Howard would pay more attention to those women who had intentions towards Chief Marshall.

…

Marshall Corporation, Office of the CEO’s Secretary.

Even though Grace Ziegler was sitting at her desk, she had stolen glances at the direction of the CEO’s office many times.

It was already nine o’clock but she had not yet seen Chief Marshall come to work.

She had been at the office of the CEO’s secretary for over a month now. She had never seen Chief Marshall arrive so late.

Did it mean that Chief Marshall would not be coming to work today?

Suddenly, she saw the chief secretary leave his post, with a notebook in his hand.

By his look, it seemed like he was going to a meeting.

Chief Marshall must be at the corporation, he just didn’t return to his office yet, right?

Thinking this way, Grace felt relieved and stopped staring at the direction of the CEO’s office.

About an hour later, she only saw the chief secretary return alone without Chief Marshall.

Provided that there were documents for Chief Marshall to sign, Grace Ziegler went to the chief secretary and asked when Chief Marshall would be back.

The chief secretary lifted his eyes, looked at Grace Ziegler, and said gently, “Just hand the documents over to me.”

“Isn’t Chief Marshall coming back?”

“Just hand over the documents to me, Secretary Grace Ziegler, did you not hear me?”

Reluctantly, Grace Ziegler handed over the documents requiring Chief Marshall’s signature to the chief secretary. She felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
