BXBX NOVEL Chapter 496: 496: Wisely Resolved
Everyone tacitly understood and disliked the kind of person Grace was.
Other colleagues approached the chief secretary and murmured: “Chief Daniel Marshall is here, weren’t you going to make coffee? Go have a look!”
Although she disliked Grace’s shameless actions, the chief secretary wasn’t going to lose her rationality in the heat of the moment and do something reckless. Besides, she had been with Chief Daniel Marshall for years, and knew well that he was not a fickle man. She didn’t want to be part of such a commotion.
The chief secretary’s face was expressionless and she watched her subordinates calmly, “Spread out, go back to work properly. Even if the sky were falling, it would have nothing to do with you. Stop speculating about Chief Daniel Marshall’s affairs. He dislikes rumors swirling around the CEO’s office and doesn’t appreciate gossip either.”
One of the new colleagues said: “Aren’t you worried about losing your position? She, she would love to sit where you are.”
The chief secretary stayed calm and composed, “Alright, get back to work. Don’t let me hear such talk again. The CEO’s office doesn’t allow any dissent, nor can there be discord between actions and intentions. She is the youngest and has just graduated from school. She doesn’t understand the ways of the world, so bear with her a bit.”
While others still wanted to speak, seeing Assistant Howard approaching, they quickly dispersed.
Adam Howard tapped on the chief secretary’s desk, “You make a cup of coffee for Chief Daniel Marshall; I’ll take it to him. Knowing your place, understanding the bigger picture, very good, that’s what a chief secretary should do.”
The chief secretary looked up at Adam, “After working with you for several years, don’t I understand Chief Daniel Marshall? The only woman he has truly had feelings for is Mrs. Olivia Marshall. It’s unlikely he would switch his affections so quickly.”
Adam’s handsome features held a touch of frivolous smile, “You’re right. If Chief Daniel Marshall wasn’t so stubborn, even as his best friend, I wouldn’t believe it either.”
“I’m going to make the coffee right away. I’ll make an extra cup for you, it’s a Civet coffee!”
With a beaming smile still on his face, Adam made an OK gesture to the chief secretary.
Adam didn’t knock and walked in with two cups of coffee.
“Oh… Is Grace here?”
Whoosh! Grace, who was originally sitting in front of Daniel, immediately stood up, faced Adam, and greeted him with a bow.
Adam casually glanced around, put down the two cups of coffee, and deliberately looked at the lunch box on the table.
“Grace, do you want a cup of coffee? What’s this, is it something to eat? Grace, you only brought food for Daniel, didn’t divide me?”
After a moment of bewilderment, Grace pursed her lips, and looked cautiously at Adam.
Assistant Howard seemed very crafty, not like Daniel, who was always unassuming and affable.
Grace was uncomfortable with Assistant Howard’s wandering gaze and instinctively avoided his probing.
“Assistant Howard, thank you! I don’t drink coffee. If you also like chive boxes, I will pack one more for you next time.”
Adam raised an eyebrow lightly, his handsome face brimming with a harmless smile. However, it still made people feel he was very crafty, as if he could see through people’s hearts, causing Grace to slightly lower her gaze.
Adam’s sharp gaze was still on Grace, “That’s great, I like anything you pack.”
Grace pulled out an awkward smile on her face, “Chief Daniel Marshall, Assistant Howard, I need to get back to work now.”
With the door closing, Daniel’s eagle-like eyes stared nonstop at Adam, “Speak!”
