“This is the privilege of the big boss. Thanks to him, we are enjoying life.”
Daniel Marshall just slightly raised his eyelid, giving Adam Howard a sidelong glance.
Daniel’s sexy thin lips parted slightly as he took another puff from his cigarette, exhaling a curling cloud of smoke.
Looking at Daniel, Adam furrowed his brow slightly. “Daniel, you’ve been smoking a lot lately. It’s done and dusted that James got kicked out of the Marshall Corporation, you should be pleased about this. If you’re this troubled, it must be about money or women!”
Daniel gave Adam a cold stare, “Do you want to be a bug in my stomach?”
“If you want to drink, we will definitely accompany you. Let’s disperse now, it’s alright.”
Fearing Daniel’s grim and fierce gaze, Adam brought Oliver Johnson out of the president’s office.
Back in the assistant office, Adam called Olivia Jenkins.
“Did you have an argument with Daniel?”
Olivia paused for a few seconds before asking, “Why would you ask that? What happened to him?”
“Could you talk to him about his smoking? It’s not good to smoke too much. It will cause health problems even if there are none now. Actually, everyone is really concerned about you both. Whatever it is, just lay it out, don’t keep it to yourselves. Husband and wife should be honest with each other.”
Olivia smirked, “You really care about him, he’s lucky to have a brother like you! I got it, I’ll talk to him.”
Licking his lips, Adam tentatively asked, “Last time, didn’t you two make up? You even went abroad for your honeymoon, there shouldn’t be any conflicts now, right?”
Olivia’s smile gradually took on a bitter tinge as she made an excuse, “Perhaps, due to the recent issues concerning Grandpa, he’s been upset. Family disputes are not simple matters that can be cleared up with a few words. As you know, the Marshall Family is very complex.”
“I sincerely suggest that you openly communicate your issues, don’t keep it inside. You can really trust Daniel. Although his personality is a bit hard to accept – unpredictable and moody, he’s not a bad person. He’s not heartless, he’s worth your love.
It’s normal for women to be attracted to a powerful and influential man like him, but I can guarantee that he loves you and he’s not fickle. We can’t control other people’s actions, but I firmly believe that Daniel can control himself, his self-restraint is extraordinary, he won’t mess around.”
Olivia laughed wholeheartedly, she thought that Adam and Daniel seemed more like a couple themselves.
Adam really said a lot of good words for Daniel’s sake, he really cares about Daniel. Having such a good friend like Adam is indeed something enviable.
“Adam, thank you so much for your concern. We’re fine, don’t overthink it.”
“Maybe it’s really just me overthinking, but I always feel like there’s a ticking bomb between you two, and I have no idea when it will explode. You’re very smart but also very obstinate which can be both a strength and a weakness.
I’m really worried about you two. Daniel may be powerful and wealthy, but deep down he’s a sensitive person. He has his vulnerable moments too, if you could stand by his side, I know he really loves you.”
Olivia nodded slightly with a mixed feeling, “I know you meant well, you’re really a faithful friend.”
“I’m hosting a dinner tonight, you and Daniel must come, I’ll send you the location later.”
“Sure!”
“Let’s chat tonight, I need to get back to work now.”
…
Michael Marshall personally went to pick them up, after lots of persuasion, Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall returned to Serene City.
Only Olivia and the servants were left taking care of the grandfather. Michael ignored Olivia, taking Bella and Matthew directly to see the old man.
The old man looked stunned, suddenly asking, “Who’s here?”
