Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Getting Close to Daniel Marshall

Grace Ziegler felt somewhat embarrassed, her eyes averted, not daring to look at Chief Daniel Marshall.

She didn’t want Chief Daniel Marshall to see how shabby her life was.

After walking a few steps, Grace Ziegler stopped.

“Chief, you can stop here. Don’t go any further. I can get home on my own. The streetlights are on, it’s safe. I’m used to this road.”

“No problem, let’s go on. I consider this as taking a walk. I’ve been through these kinds of lanes with my wife. I don’t mind or look down on it. Everyone has the right to strive for a living, regardless of their social status.”

Wife?

Grace had noticed a wedding ring on Daniel Marshall’s ring finger.

Unconsciously, she felt envious of Mrs. Olivia Marshall.

Suddenly, Grace’s eyes dimmed.

For a moment, she fell silent, following Daniel Marshall in a daze.

Daniel, tall and straight, walking in the narrow alleyway, made it seem even narrower and seemed to exert a strong oppressive presence.

Someone was coming from the opposite direction, and Grace was about to walk into them, but Daniel pulled her back just in time.

Before she could react, Grace found herself instinctively leaning towards Daniel.

Reflexively, she looked into his deep eyes in surprise, her heart inexplicably raced.

“Tha… thank you, Chief.”

“Be careful. You don’t have to worry about your ex-boyfriend bothering you anymore.”

Grace nodded, silent.

Daniel’s piercing eyes, glinting with a dazzling light, not only kept an eye on the pedestrians in front but also observed Grace closely, “Have you been transferred to the CEO’s office? Has the HR manager talked to you about your salary?”

“Chief, I’ve already passed my probation. The HR manager must have been busy lately, he hasn’t talked to me about the salary.”

“Even if you’re getting the minimum wage in the CEO’s office, you should be able to rent a small room in a relatively better neighborhood. Tomorrow, I’ll have the HR manager to talk to you. A new contract should be signed.”

Grace waved her hands hastily, “Chief, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m not short of money. I can manage okay, actually, it’s quite good living here.”

Daniel smiled faintly, his gaze gentle, “You’re a terrible liar. You’re short on money, but too proud to ask your mother for help. Establishing yourself in Serene City isn’t easy, but the fact that you made it into the Marshall Corporation on your own merit proves you’re more than capable. Don’t worry, the Marshall Corporation will not shortchange its talent. The salary offered here is what you deserve.”

“I … My qualifications might not be enough …”

“Be more confident. Young people can learn quickly and adapt to new environments.”

Looking at Daniel, Grace bit her lower lip lightly and nodded.

Moments later, Grace promised solemnly, “I will not let Chief Daniel Marshall down, I will definitely learn well.”

“You haven’t called your mother recently? Are you afraid it will make her worry?”

“Since I was a child, after my father passed away, my mother raised me by herself. I really don’t want her to worry about me anymore, or to look after me. I’ve graduated from college, I’m working now, it’s my turn to look after her, I cannot let her take care of me anymore.”

“That’s a good way of thinking, but don’t neglect your mother. No matter how you’re doing outside, she will always be the one who loves you the most. Letting her know you’re safe is the least you can do.”

“I’ll call her in a bit, actually, I miss her too.”

“Just hearing your voice will make her happy. She doesn’t need much, as long as she knows you’re safe and secure, I think she’d be content.”

Grace gave a sweet smile, “Chief, truly, thank you so much!”
