He Clings to Me Every Night-Chapter 508 - : Shortcut

Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Shortcut

Grace Ziegler stared in shock at Assistant Howard.

She knew that Assistant Howard was deliberately saying these words for her to hear.

In the silence of the car, Adam Howard glanced at Grace again, “You’re still young. If you work sincerely in the CEO’s office, you won’t lack opportunities, you won’t go unnoticed for your abilities. Chief Daniel Marshall is fair and sharp, he can clearly see through people.”

Grace Ziegler bowed her head, “I know, I will work hard and earnestly learn from the Secretary-General.”

“Among the employees who joined the company at the same time as you, with similar backgrounds, your starting point is the highest. I hope you can cherish it. Opportunities like this don’t come easily, it’s like the luck of winning the lottery. I hope you truly understand that.”

“The CEO’s office neither lacks talent nor do vacancies open up lightly. There are countless people smarter, more beautiful, and more capable than you.”

Grace Ziegler dared to confront the Secretary-General, but she didn’t dare to confront Assistant Howard. She felt that Assistant Howard was very astute, always targeting her.

Assistant Howard had warned her more than once. It seemed he had already seen through her ambitions.

Biting her lip, Grace snapped softly, “I am well aware.”

“That’s a good attitude. Perhaps, your situation is due to good luck this time around, and might not repeat next time.”

Grace felt uneasy and inexplicably wanted to cry, so she turned to look out at the night scene.

Adam Howard stopped talking and, two minutes later, the car pulled up in front of the Garden of Core Euphoria.

As Grace stepped out of the car, Adam’s sharp gaze bore into her, “You look very beautiful tonight, and the dress fits you well. But the Marshall Corporation is never short of beauties, and no woman is more beautiful than Mrs. Olivia Marshall because she is truly unique.”

Grace paused instinctively, clenching her fists tightly in anger, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

It was only a moment’s pause. Grace did not look back. She shut the car door and walked away on her own.

She knew she was falling apart. Tears had started to uncontrollably spill out.

Adam Howard wound down the window, his gaze fixated on her retreating figure.

Adam looked up at the tall buildings of the Garden of Core Euphoria.

Renting a small suite in a bustling area of Serene City would cost at least fifteen thousand a month, a great expense for someone who came from poverty.

This route was an internal one, going past high-rise bridges and rarely having traffic. She walked this way to go to and from the Marshall Corporation, no matter what calculations she made, it was a difficult route to refuse. Her calculations were sharp and she seemed far more cunning than her peers.

This girl was on the right path but she took shortcuts, hopefully his words could serve as a wake-up call for her.

Watching Grace walk inside, Adam Howard drove away.

Despite her sprained foot, Olivia Jenkins forgot her pain in her warm cocoon of sleep and slept soundly.

The stirring from the other bed woke her from her daze.

In the instant she woke, Olivia felt a pair of large hands around her waist and realized she was in Daniel Marshall’s arms, using his hand as a pillow.

Olivia frowned, biting her lower lip, and looked at Daniel’s firm, handsome features.

Even without shaving, he still looked very handsome!

In his slumber, he didn’t seem dangerous or scary at all. If she disregarded his misdeeds, he was not that repugnant.

With a swoosh, Daniel opened his eyes, catching Olivia’s gaze before she could look away.

Daniel’s lips curled into a light smile, his brow playfully raised, “Good morning, my dear wife!”

Suddenly, he planted a soft kiss on her lips.

He still held her tightly in his arms.

Given their legal status, the only reason Olivia didn’t kick Daniel off the bed was because she gave him an irritated glare instead.
