Grace Ziegler nodded.
After a hearty cry that had released all her emotions, she felt much better.
“It’s starting to drizzle, let’s go inside.”
Grace nodded, following Chief Daniel Marshall into the square.
It was cold, and Daniel Marshall took Grace to eat hot pot.
Before their food arrived, after a moment of hesitation, Grace mustered up the courage to say, “I hope that Chief Daniel can forget about today. My embarrassment, you have seen it that’s enough. I don’t want others to know. I’m sorry for my abruptness. I hope Chief Daniel doesn’t mind.”
With a piercing gaze, Daniel Marshall looked at Grace, “No matter what the dispute, bullying a woman in such a manner is not decent. Is the arrogant woman who hit you the daughter of a corporation?”
“Had I not appeared by chance, the milk tea in her hand would have been spilled on you. This behavior is really despicable. Your ex-boyfriend, what a fool he is!”
At this point, Grace had also calmed down significantly. She swore she would never be heartbroken over that scumbag again. From now on, the scumbag would completely disappear from her world.
“That woman is the daughter of Bright Path. I heard that Bright Path is planning to go public. Because that woman is rich, the scumbag fell for her, preferring to live off a woman’s money.
“The woman hates me, so every time she sees me, she bullies me and encourages that loser to shame me. Before, they were both in Kyoto. I deliberately stayed away from them. I don’t know how they ended up in Serene City, and even happened to cross paths with me.”
“Those who persist in doing evil will destroy themselves!”
A faint smile rose to Grace’s lips, “I feel very lucky, and I really thank Chief Daniel. From now on, I will work hard.”
Daniel Marshall nodded slightly, “Then work hard. I won’t let anyone bully my employees.”
Grace’s gaze lingered on Chief Daniel, her smile deepening as if she couldn’t look away.
“Chief Daniel, do you like to eat chive dumplings? I can cook them for you.”
A cunning gleam flashed in Daniel Marshall’s eyes, he asked tentatively, “Last time, you said your family runs a chive dumpling shop. Did you learn your cooking skills from your family?”
“Yes, my mom can also make pickles, and I learned it too. Chief Daniel, if you want to taste it, I can cook for you.”
Daniel Marshall was eager to learn more about her mother. He soon began engaging in a lively conversation with Grace.
They even started talking about Grace’s childhood. From Grace, Daniel heard many little details about her mother.
Daniel Marshall agreed to let Grace cook pickles and chive dumplings for him.
Knowing that Daniel Marshall remembered what she had said, Grace was surprised and touched. A wave of sweetness inexplicably surged in her heart.
Chief Daniel wasn’t scary at all. He was actually quite gentle and not as aloof as he seemed. He is a powerful, talented man that she could approach. Unconsciously, an outrageous thought popped into Grace’s mind.
A desire to climb up in life began to ignite within her.
Olivia Jenkins had changed her itinerary last minute. The next morning, she would set off for Harmony Village.
That evening, Olivia decided to stay at the Shallow Bay Villa to keep her grandmother company.
So far, Olivia had not called Daniel Marshall.
After dinner, Daniel Marshall drove Grace home.
Seeing the old and densely-populated district where Grace lived, he couldn’t help but feel distressed. The area’s environment was poor, and it seemed like the security was not very good either.
With an embarrassed look on her face, Grace asked Daniel to stop the car at the corner. Otherwise, the car wouldn’t be able to drive in.
Daniel Marshall got out of the car and accompanied Grace on her walk home.
