He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Sarcasm

Does no itinerary mean that Chief Daniel Marshall will not be coming to the office this month?

Feeling upset, Grace Ziegler scrunched her brows slightly distracted.

Grace had called Chief Daniel Marshall several times, but all calls went to his turned-off phone.

She had no idea when she will be able to contact or see Chief Marshall again.

Ever since Secretary-General Saunders started working, Assistant Howard was often nowhere to be seen.

Lately, Grace frequently browsed news updates but found no news about Chief Daniel Marshall or Mrs. Olivia Marshall. Quite strange indeed!

Suddenly, Grace received a new friend request.

It was from Grace Martinez. Grace Ziegler accepted it without any hesitation.

Hopefully, Martinez could tell her what she wanted to know.

Grace waited for a while but received no messages from Martinez. She felt anxious and decided to send an emoji.

Grace Martinez, sitting in her office, let out a sinister laugh, but she didn’t reply any message. Instead, she put down her phone and continued working.

After waiting for ten minutes, Grace still received no reply from Martinez.

Even after the workday ended, the only thing visible on Martinez’s page was the emoji Grace had sent.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Grace dialed Martinez’s number via WeChat.

“Manager Martinez, what game are you playing at? You can’t just be merely trying to make friends with me, can you?”

Martinez snorted derisively and counter-questioned: “Oh Grace, what are you thinking about? If I wasn’t trying to be friends with you, why would I add you on WeChat?”

“Enough, stop pretending, I know you’re using me.”

“Grace, don’t exaggerate!”

“No more to say then, fine, I’m hanging up.”

“Go ahead, I don’t care. I’m not interested in Daniel Marshall anyway.”

Hesitating momentarily, Grace did not hang up.

Feeling uncomfortable, Grace asked coldly: “What’s your true intention?”

“Didn’t I make it clear? I just want to be friends with you!”

“Hypocrite!”

“At least I’m not pretending to be your noble friend while playing innocent.”

“So, you’re befriending me just to mock me?”

“I’m done joking, you’re not fun at all. Daniel Marshall and his wife are abroad on their honeymoon. You won’t be seeing him for a while. Feeling bad, huh? Is your heart clogged up?”

“You’re too full of yourself!”

Martinez found it quite amusing, “Deceiving yourself, that’s your business.”

After finishing her piece, Martinez ended the call.

She had done Grace a favor. Next, Grace would certainly be led around by the nose.

This piece was too easy to acquire. A look of contempt and mockery flashed in Martinez’s eyes.

Even though the call was cut off, Grace was still tightly clutching her phone.

Her expressions were quite terrifying, her eyes were about to spit fire.

Suddenly, she knocked over a fruit bowl, scattering fruits all over the floor.

In a burst of anger, she swept her hands, and a vase on the coffee table fell to the ground and broke.

Look down on her? She will show them. She will rise above, beyond their reach.

Grace always believed that Chief Daniel Marshall had feelings for her. Otherwise, why would Bright Path suddenly lose its listing opportunity? It must be Daniel teaching that jerk a lesson.

Grace will exceed Mrs. Olivia Marshall. This woman, besides being arrogant, conceited, and relying on her own status, was not really that great.

One day, this woman will also age and lose her charms. There would certainly come a day when she fell out of favor.

No one would blame others for grabbing the opportunity to move up.

Grace believed that one day, she too could look down upon the so-called Mrs. Olivia Marshall, she could step on Mrs. Olivia Marshall.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared!
