Chapter 536

The Chief Secretary has resigned?

If that’s true, then it’s good news!

Then she would have the chance to ascend!

Grace Ziegler was quietly thrilled, but on the surface, she played it cool, pretending to be innocent and unstudied.

“I’m not sure, even if it’s true, the group has its own arrangements. Our Chief Secretary is excellent, she takes good care of her subordinates, please don’t speak ill of her.”

Grace Martinez maintained her friendly smile, but her calculating eyes were cautiously sizing up Grace Ziegler, “I think you are fully capable of taking on the Chief Secretary’s job, there’s no need for Chief Daniel Marshall to find a new one. Grace, I think you’re too humble, Chief Daniel Marshall may not see your full potential.”

Grace Ziegler blinked incredulously, her unaware expression showing a natural humility, “Manager Martinez, please don’t say that, I’m embarrassed. I still have a lot to learn from my seniors.”

“Alright, enough said. Your hot pot is ready, you go ahead and eat. Anyway, I still think you’re excellent and capable. You’re not inferior to those who’ve studied abroad at all. You’re young and beautiful, if Chief Daniel Marshall doesn’t promote you, he might be blind.”

Grace Ziegler simply laughed. She didn’t lose her bearings from the high praise, she didn’t let it go to her head.

She rarely interacts with this boss, and there’s not much connection between them. Suddenly bumping into her, Grace Ziegler is no fool, she can’t believe everything she hears.

She won’t expose her ambitions anymore.

No matter what she faces, even if it’s a very attractive temptation, Grace Ziegler must stay alert, she can’t help others at her own expense.

Grace Ziegler calmly savored her hot pot, enjoying every bite as if she wasn’t tempted at all.

Grace Martinez’s hot pot was ready too. She continued to eat while her eyes emitted a probing gaze at Grace Ziegler.

Even though the woman in front of her was smiling like a fool, no matter how well she hides it, Grace Martinez didn’t think she’s simple.

Being able to climb from a simple HR to the president’s executive secretary in such a short time, this woman was being a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and was actually quite shrewd.

Ambitious women should not be underestimated, Grace Martinez was looking forward to seeing what kind of chaos Grace Ziegler could stir up.

Grace Martinez was sitting back and looking forward to the drama!

…

After finishing her hot pot, Grace Ziegler and Grace Martinez went their separate ways.

Grace Ziegler didn’t go home but went to a nearby shopping mall instead.

Grace Ziegler was not idle either; she was thinking about strategies.

If she wants to climb to the position of Chief Secretary, she’s going to have to exert some effort, she’s going to have to be a bit savvy.

Suddenly, Grace Ziegler made a call to a former colleague who still works in HR.

She said it was to celebrate her promotion and invited her for a late-night supper, but in reality, she was setting her up to pump her for information. Once she knew the ins and outs, she could climb higher and the chances of success will be greater.

When the person on the other end agreed, a cunning smile slipped onto the corners of Grace Ziegler’s mouth.

Grace Ziegler was confident that she would get the Chief Secretary’s position!

…

The next day, Grace Ziegler showed up to work early, the executive office was still empty.

She placed a thermos on the Chief’s desk and left a bag as well.

Then, as if nothing happened, Grace Ziegler walked out of the Chief’s office.

Daniel Marshall arrived, surprised by the items on his desk.

The thermos seemed familiar. Daniel Marshall remembered, it belonged to Grace Ziegler.

Daniel Marshall opened the bag and found familiar home-made pickles.

All of a sudden, Daniel Marshall’s mind was filled with memories of Binzhou.

Suddenly, he missed his mother terribly.

The taste of his mother’s homemade pickles surfaced in Daniel Marshall’s mind.
