He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: He Is Not the Man You Can Long For
Daniel Marshall shot a cold glance at Adam Howard, his somber voice filled with intimidation, “I think you have too much free time!”

Adam shrugged fearlessly, speaking frankly, “It’s just you and me here, no need to pretend. I know your heart is already in Harmony Village. Daniel, sometimes it’s not a bad thing for a man to be a bit thick-skinned, it would put your wife at ease!”

Daniel Marshall’s gaze was fickle, his fierce facial features sharp as a blade. He merely glared at Adam, and Adam had slipped away like a wisp of smoke.

Instantly, Daniel Marshall picked up the phone, instructing his secretary, “Let Simon Howard in.”

Before the secretary could respond, the call was closed.

The secretary didn’t dare to delay, and immediately invited Simon into the president’s office.

The clerks in the president’s office all turned their gaze to the secretary.

Grace Ziegler was even more curious.

Grace also noticed that Assistant Howard rushed out of the president’s office as if escaping, curious about what had happened inside.

At this moment, Mr. Howard rushed into the president’s office as well.

Biting her lower lip, Grace walked over to the secretary, tentatively asking, “Should we bring them a cup of tea?”

The secretary looked up slightly, gazing seriously at Grace, “Are you always so interested in Chief Daniel Marshall’s affairs? Is it that you want to enter his office?”

Suppressing her displeasure, Grace responded softly, “No, I was worried there might be an argument. Is Chief Daniel generally fierce?”

The secretary said gravely, “Stay out of it! This isn’t something a junior secretary should be meddling with, Grace. You need to know your place, Chief Daniel is a married man, not yours to fawn over. I hope you behave yourself.”

At that moment, Grace’s face turned pale, she glared at the secretary, “That’s too much, sister Ning!”

The secretary paused her typing, looked up, and looked directly into Grace’s eyes, “Everyone can see your ambitions already, Grace. Don’t be too unseemly, we’re all women here, we know what’s going on.

You know, your thoughts are written all over your face. Everyone in the office has seen it, it’s just that I’m the one telling you up front.

I have been working with Chief Daniel Marshall at Marshall Corporation for many years, do you think I don’t see what’s going on? You’re already being quite conspicuous, I advise you to tone it down, otherwise, you won’t even know how you left Marshall Corporation.”

After locking her computer, the secretary left her seat to photocopy documents, ignoring Grace.

Embarrassed, Grace glared at the secretary in resentment.

She would remember this grudge. She was determined to pay it back and drive this annoying woman out of the president’s office.

Chief Daniel asked, and Simon Howard reported truthfully.

“Yesterday, Valerie Howard arrived at Harmony Village. She’s with your wife. Many available artists came to report today, ready to shoot a charity variety show.”

“Valerie said Benjamin Johnson is also in Harmony Village. He attended a program organization meeting last night and donated money to repair the roads of the village.”

Chief Daniel Marshall’s icy eyes flashed with a shadowy grimness, exuding a chilling urgency that sent a shiver down one’s spine.

Simon’s pupils slightly constricted, his lips tightened, and he dared not speak any more.

Chief Daniel Marshall’s half-smoked cigarette was abruptly crushed between his fingers.

The extinguishing ember fell onto the desk, and Simon quickly picked it up and placed it in the ashtray.

Simon knew his boss’s anger was at its peak, he left the office on his own accord.
