Chapter 687: 687: Turning the Fake into Reality

Looking around the parking lot, Grace Ziegler saw no sign of Chief Daniel Marshall’s usual Rolls-Royce.

Grace was feeling awfully upset at that moment, on the verge of tears with a layer of moisture softly gathering in her eyes.

She so longed to see Chief Marshall again. She didn’t want to stay in the public relations department, and even more so, she wanted to ask him why he had transferred her there.

Later on, she tried calling Chief Marshall, but it was always Mr. Howard who answered the phone, not Chief Marshall himself.

Mr. Howard was cold and indifferent, with an implicit warning in every word. After that, she dared not call Chief Marshall again.

She had prepared leek dumplings and pickles for Chief Marshall and wanted to deliver them to the executive office. But since she was no longer an executive office staff member, her work card had been taken back. Without an invitation from Chief Marshall, she could never set foot in the building where the executive office was.

Grace tried waiting for Chief Marshall at the entrance of the corporation for several consecutive days, but she never managed to see him.

Just now, Grace was certain that she hadn’t been mistaken. It was indeed Chief Marshall.

The man next to Chief Marshall seemed to be President Bennett.

In spite of everything, Grace continued to wait on the necessary path through the parking lot.

Suddenly, Grace’s phone rang. She promptly answered her co-worker’s call.

“Grace, did you fall into the toilet or something? The client’s about to leave if you don’t come back.”

In that instant, Grace remembered she hadn’t finished her work. She wore a stunned face, “My stomach wasn’t feeling well, but I’ve taken some medicine. I’ll return to the training ground as soon as I finish it, sorry!”

“Hurry up; don’t slack off! This client is important; we have to maintain good relations with them. Try not to screw this up.”

“I know, I’ll head back as soon as possible.”

Quickly hanging up the phone, Grace immediately went back.

She couldn’t afford to worry about anything else, she had to first secure her job.

Director Bailey of the public relations department was not as easy-going as her former boss at the executive office. He was stringent and demanding. If she couldn’t meet his expectations, it could be very troublesome.

To continue working at Marshall Corporation, Grace couldn’t afford to get into trouble.

Daniel and Jordan Bennett, having dried their hair and changed into clean clothes, walked out of the dressing room together.

Simon Howard was in charge of carrying the golf clubs.

Seeing Daniel switch to a Lexus SUV, Jordan Bennett chuckled and joked, “Why aren’t you driving your Rolls-Royce?”

Daniel raised an eyebrow and casually said, “I prefer staying low-key. I don’t want too much attention.”

Jordan Bennett solemnly said: “Daniel, you really have changed.”

“I don’t want to shine too brightly, and I also don’t want my life to be disturbed by others.” With that, Daniel got into the car.

Jordan Bennett waved his hand and got in as well.

One after another, they left the golf club to go eat at a private dining restaurant.

Adam Howard and the rest also received the message in the group chat and were hurrying to the private dining restaurant.

…

Olivia Jenkins was cooking hot pot while watching Abigail Anderson, “You invited us out for dinner, but you haven’t said much. What’s the matter with you?”

Abigail sighed, “I just feel frustrated. I must have put a foot wrong somewhere.”

Valerie Howard carefully observed Abigail for a few moments and tossed out, “I think your dark circles are quite serious. Are you having trouble sleeping? Is the situation you’re dealing with severe?”

Olivia echoed, “I’ve noticed as well. Your dark circles look pretty bad, and your makeup is heavier than usual.”

Abigail sighed once again.

Olivia handed Abigail some sliced beef she had just cooked, “Don’t bother explaining if you don’t want to. Just eat for now.”

Valerie was cooking tripe in the hot pot while she said, “You’re really acting unusual today.”

Abigail replied with a resentful tone, “Of course, I’m different, because I’ve slept with Jordan Bennett.”
