He Clings to Me Every Night - Chapter 538:
Chapter 538: Chapter 538 She Wants to be Adored
After noon, Grace Ziegler didn’t see Chief Daniel Marshall return, and she was quite disappointed.
What was so special about Mrs. Olivia Marshall?
Why was she able to enchant Chief Daniel Marshall?
Grace Ziegler was eager to meet Mrs. Olivia Marshall.
After finishing her work, Grace Ziegler continued to ponder this thought.
She was thinking about how to defeat Mrs. Olivia Marshall…
It was the sound of someone tapping on the desk that brought Grace Ziegler’s wandering thoughts back to reality.
After a moment of surprise, she raised her head to meet the piercing gaze of the head secretary.
Instinctively, Grace Ziegler defended herself, saying, “I’ve finished my work for today – what do you want me to do next?”
The head secretary glanced at Grace Ziegler and withdrew her gaze, sweeping over the secretarial department. In a cold voice, she announced, “It’s almost Chinese New Year, Chief Daniel Marshall will be giving everyone a gift. After work today, come with me to choose a dress for tomorrow’s gala, Chief Daniel Marshall is footing the bill.”
The secretarial department exploded into applause.
Grace Ziegler was happy too, but she felt a bit uncomfortable.
Everyone was getting a gift from Chief Daniel Marshall, not just her. She wasn’t his only favourite. Her happiness was greatly diminished, her joy muted.
However, Chief Daniel Marshall’s gift wouldn’t be shabby. This meant she could appear more beautiful and attractive at the gala. That is good!
Thinking about her carefully prepared dress that cost a couple of thousand yuan, it would fall short in comparison to Mrs. Olivia Marshall.
“Grace, aren’t you happy? Don’t you want to go choose a dress?”
Grace Ziegler didn’t avoid the inquisitive gaze of the head secretary. With an aloof expression, she replied in a quiet voice, “That’s not what I meant, of course, I want to pick out a dress. X. Who wouldn’t want a benefit given by Chief Daniel Marshall?! Head Secretary, did he also treat the employees this well in the past?”
The head secretary sneered, “Or what did you think, that everyone got this kind of benefit because you joined the team?”
Whenever, I accompany Chief Daniel Marshall on his trips, our company’s partners prepare dresses and jewelry for me. Didn’t you hear about this when you worked in HR? Chief Daniel Marshall has always been generous to his employees. He never treats anyone unfairly. Don’t talk as if he doesn’t understand simple kindness.”
Grace Ziegler was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say, but she tried to maintain a smile on her face.
Despite not speaking, she knew that her colleagues in the office were mocking her.
Grace Ziegler didn’t care, once she sat in the Head Secretary’s seat. She would crush them all underfoot, let’s see who would dare to mock her!
Perhaps by then, they would fawn over her like sycophantic dogs.
With a look of contempt and ridicule, the head secretary looked at Grace Ziegler and said, “Starting tomorrow, I will teach you all how to make different types of coffee. Make sure you learn properly. I’ll be leaving my position next month, I will teach you all that I know.”
All the secretaries except for Grace Ziegler were happy, their expressions showing their excitement, “Thank you, Head Secretary, you’ve been so good to us.”
“It’s time to leave work now, let’s go.”
Ignoring Grace Ziegler, the head secretary was the first to leave.
The rest of them grabbed their bags and followed the head secretary out.
Only a slight change in the expression on Grace’s face was noticeable, but she was trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
Grace Ziegler’s hands were tightly clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from the pressure.
She knew that the head secretary had done this purposely to embarrass her. She despised the head secretary.
Thank god that this despicable person was leaving. She wouldn’t have to see her anymore.
