He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Heart Has Cooled Completely

In the morning, as Olivia Jenkins was about to leave, Benjamin Johnson was still worried about her, “Shall I accompany you?”

Olivia’s almond eyes met Benjamin’s gaze, “I’m no longer the young girl I used to be, please believe that I can adapt to circumstances.”

Benjamin hesitated to speak, his gentle eyes never leaving Olivia.

Olivia held her daughter, kissing her over and over, reluctant to leave her, “Star Marshall, mommy is off to work, be good, alright? Mommy will be back by noon.”

Star Marshall looked at her mother and smiled, innocent and pure, like a flawless piece of white jade.

A joyful smile also spread across Olivia’s beautiful face, her eyes filled with tenderness. Despite many reluctances in her heart, at this moment, waves of sweet warmth were flowing through Olivia’s heart.

It was only in front of her daughter that Olivia let down all her defenses.

Benjamin’s handsome face carried a light smile, and he extended his arms towards Star Marshall, “Let godfather hold you so mommy can go to work. Godfather will play with you, okay?”

Star Marshall looked at her godfather, her little mouth turning up slightly, showing the purest smile.

Olivia carefully placed her daughter in Benjamin’s arms, “Thank you, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Olivia, you don’t have to worry about Star, we have nannies at home, you can go about your business. If you need me, you can call me anytime.”

Olivia nodded, relieved, her heart filled with gratitude, “Got it, bye!”

After kissing her daughter’s tender cheek one more time, Olivia finally left reluctantly.

…

Olivia was waiting for the traffic light.

Out of the blue, Olivia recognized that the female driver in the turning red BMW was Grace Ziegler.

It had been a while since they’d seen each other, and now Grace was driving a BMW; it seemed Daniel Marshall was taking good care of her.

Daniel was treating this “sister” too well!

The top Grace was wearing was clearly a new-season item from JOE.

How could a mere employee afford designer clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars?

Olivia’s expression didn’t change, but her eyes contracted slightly.

Olivia was also eagerly hoping for all of this to end soon.

…

Grace confidently stepped into the elevator, in her high heels.

Now, she was Daniel’s second secretary.

In the last year, she’d undergone two surgeries, and with a hearing aid implanted in her left ear, her hearing was almost back to normal.

Even though she could stay by Daniel’s side, Grace was careful in every aspect, slowly realizing her ambitions step by step.

Recently, the company was abuzz with rumors about her and Daniel’s scandal, which Grace had heard about but didn’t take to heart.

Grace actually hoped it was all true, eager to formally rise to power, so she never explained nor responded.

In any case, Grace already considered herself the future mistress of the Marshall Corporation in her heart.

That wretched woman Olivia Jenkins had better never show up again.

When the elevator arrived, Grace ignored the jealous gazes from the secretaries in the chairman’s office. She walked out of the elevator confidently and strode towards the president’s office with authority.

Grace knew that today was the grand opening of the first robot restaurant under Jenkins Group’s banner, and all she cared about was whether Daniel would go to the robot restaurant.

Carrying coffee, Grace entered the president’s office softly.

“Daniel, you have nothing scheduled for today; do you have any other instructions?” Grace asked with an innocent expression, though her shrewd eyes were inquisitively observing Daniel.

Daniel was looking at his computer and didn’t glance up at Grace, “No, you may go.”
