He Clings to Me Every Night

Having had a restless night, Daniel Marshall also took a small sip of the coffee to perk up.

Adam opened his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Daniel, “Are you really not going to Harmony Village?”

Daniel’s sensual lips slightly parted, his voice flat and indifferent, “Do you want to go?”

Pausing for a moment, Adam continued, “I understand that you are worried about your sister, but the people around don’t. Your favoritism might cause trouble for Grace Ziegler and create some conflicts. In the corporation, you’d better maintain a certain distance from her.”

Daniel stared at Adam intently, his voice low, “Are you specifically referring to just now? What are they saying outside?”

“What they’re saying doesn’t matter. If your wife were to see it or hear it, what would she think? Daniel, not all women are so magnanimous.

I know you really didn’t mean anything, but others don’t. They will make wild guesses. Like your wife and Benjamin Johnson, regardless of what their relationship is – seeing them together, would it make you feel comfortable?”

Daniel coldly stared at Adam.

He picked up a cigarette box, chose a cigarette at random, lit it and took a puff.

Daniel’s sensual lips slightly parted, releasing a faint circle of smoke, “Regardless of what I do or say, Charmy Bennett has become a thorn in her heart. Many think she’s not worthy of me, but in her heart, she believes I am the one not worthy of her.”

Adam furrowed his brows, “You just keep drinking your coffee and listen to my report. The situation with Bright Path has been handled – the investors decided to pull their funding. A sudden issue before going public means Bright Path can’t go public as scheduled and this predicament will have severe repercussions.

The other partnering firms also plan on terminating their collaboration with him. I believe he’s going to have a hard time recovering from this. There won’t be any chance for him to go public within three years, and he might even suffer serious losses.”

Daniel was listening, but he remained silent.

His slender fingers flicked off the ash, and he continued to smoke.

“We’ve found a new place for Grace Ziegler to stay, and I planned on having the HR manager mention it to her. But she might not accept it. After all, now that she has been promoted and granted a pay raise, becoming the second secretary of the CEO of Marshall Corporation, she might look down on ordinary residential areas.

Perhaps she would rather rent a place downtown, even if it costs over half of her salary to rent a single room, just so she can stay in the city center. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.”

Daniel slightly lifted his eyelids, giving Adam a stern look, “People who were born poor and struggle throughout their early life naturally long for city life. Adam, there’s no need for you to mention it to the HR manager. Just keep an eye on which rental agencies she reaches out to. You can help her out to some extent.

If all her money is used on rent, what is she going to spend on her daily expenses? Let her save some money. When she goes home for the holidays, let my mom get a red envelope. That would make my mom very happy.”

Adam’s response to Daniel’s comment was just a pursing of lips. He didn’t argue more, “Alright, I’ll do it your way. The workplace is a battlefield, Daniel. You have to weigh it yourself.

With her current qualifications, without your strong recommendation, she really wouldn’t be able to reach this position. She still needs to learn a lot about sophistication and charm to win people over.

The work of the president’s office is not something she can handle on her own, it requires teamwork. Your extra attention will only add obstacles to her path.”

After a moment’s pause, he decided to say more, “I think Simon Howard wants to tell you something. Why don’t you ask him? Valerie Howard and your sister-in-law are close, they might have gone to Harmony Village already.”
