He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 589: Playing the Rascal

Suddenly, a harsh sound of brakes resonated through the air.

Grace Ziegler finally reacted.

Her face was full of astonishment, her eyes glistened with tears while fear and panic filled them.

It took a moment before Grace realized that the car belonged to Chief Daniel Marshall, and the driver was Mr. Howard.

Immediately, Grace put on a pathetic, pitiful act.

The dried tear tracks on her cheeks were soon soaked again by a fresh outpour of tears.

Grace bowed deeply, apologizing repeatedly.

Simon Howard didn’t react or say a word, just glared at Grace malevolently.

Of all the people, it had to be this woman. Seeing her felt like bad luck.

The woman was jaywalking. She was asking for trouble. Simon Howard didn’t want to deal with her, but she lingered there, refusing to leave.

Initially upset, Daniel Marshall was moved to see Grace in such a distressed state, crying her heart out and nearly being hit by a car.

With a long stride, Daniel stepped out of the car and made his way to Grace.

“What’s the matter? Are you in some sort of trouble? What you just did was very dangerous. Don’t let there be a next time.”

Though Daniel merely asked a simple question, Grace’s tears flowed like a breached dam, uncaring of her messy appearance.

Grace secretly wished her face looked as ugly as possible at that moment. She wanted to leave a deep impression on Daniel Marshall, perhaps even earn his sympathy and concern.

Remaining silent for a moment, Grace didn’t say anything, just shook her head. But her tears fell even harder.

Daniel frowned, his deep eyes squinting slightly. He lowered his voice and said, “Let’s move to the car and talk. We can’t block traffic.”

“Thank you, Chief Marshall, but that’s not necessary…” Grace barely spoke before bursting into loud sobs. Her pitiful appearance was very enticing.

Caught off guard and with people watching, as if he was the one who had bullied her, Daniel didn’t know how to respond to Grace’s crying. Feeling uncomfortable, he hesitated before gently taking Grace in his arms.

“Go ahead and cry. Let it all out. It’ll make you feel better.”

Grace cried her eyes out in Daniel’s arms, intent on shedding all her tears. She clung to Daniel purposefully.

Daniel thought Grace was uncontrollably emotional due to extreme sadness, possibly due to being bullied. Thus, he let her lean on him and vent her feelings.

…

The car ahead was moving very slowly, Abigail Anderson looked both ways.

Suddenly, she noticed a familiar figure.

Wasn’t that Daniel Marshall?

The woman he was holding was definitely not Olivia Jenkins.

How could he be holding another woman?

Abigail was a bit angry and immediately started filming.

Hesitant, Abigail finally decided to send the footage to Olivia. She couldn’t hide something like this. As a married man, he should maintain distance. The hugging looked very inappropriate.

Then, Abigail sent a voice message to Olivia.

[Do you know this woman? Are they good friends? You must remind Daniel to keep a distance with the opposite sex. I got really angry watching this, I guess you would feel uncomfortable too. If Daniel dares to wrong you, we’ll gang up and beat him up.]

Olivia was back at the Jenkins Group when her phone rang. She watched the video Abigail had sent.

Olivia immediately recognized the woman in the video. She was Daniel’s little secretary who had dared to provoke her at the Marshall Corporation’s annual meeting.

What was her name again? She had forgotten.

With this video, it was the second time Olivia saw Daniel going too close with this secretary. She couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
