The piano shop owner presented Olivia Jenkins with a bill, and required her to pay it in advance as well as leave a deposit of her ID.
Olivia Jenkins retrieved her ID and instantly transferred twenty thousand dollars to the shop owner.
The shop owner warned her, “You must take good care of this violin, don’t let any harm come to it, and never drop it. It is someone else’s treasure. I hope you cherish it as you would your own. Honestly speaking, I cannot afford to compensate for any damages.”
Olivia Jenkins nodded solemnly, “Thank you, I will cherish it.”
After completing the necessary paperwork, she prepared to leave. Yet, Olivia Jenkins decided to voice her thoughts.
“Shopkeeper, when you have the chance, could you ask the owner of the violin whether she would be willing to meet me? Perhaps, she and I could become confidantes.”
“Alright, I’ll ask her for you the next time we meet.”
At noon, all the colleagues had gone to eat, leaving Grace Ziegler by herself in the secretarial office.
As Daniel Marshall exited his office, he scowled, his deep-set eyes squinting.
The scent of leeks wafted over from the secretary’s office – an unfamiliar scent in the office area.
While those who like leeks would not be bothered by the sharp scent, such an odor emanating from the executive office area would undoubtedly tarnish the image of the Marshall Corporation. That was a serious mistake for a secretary.
One that could result in termination.
Daniel Marshall’s handsome face appeared frosty as he slowly walked towards the secretarial office.
Upon discovering that it was only Grace Ziegler alone in the office with a few leek boxes on her desk, the severity on Daniel Marshall’s face lessened slightly.
“In the future, do not eat in the office area.”
A deep voice resounded overhead, abruptly, Grace Ziegler raised her surprised face.
Upon seeing that it was Chief Daniel Marshall, panic filled Grace Ziegler’s eyes.
Reflexively, she clumsily closed the drama playing on her mobile phone and hurriedly shut the lunch box.
Grace Ziegler stood up, bowed her head, afraid to look at Chief Daniel Marshall, “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.”
“Did the chief secretary not inform you about the regulations?”
Chief Daniel Marshall spoke at a normal speed, his voice still low. Grace Ziegler was so frightened her hands shook, “Chief Marshall, I’m sorry! The chief secretary did inform me, I merely forgot for a moment as I thought I was still in HR.”
“The company has a cafeteria and a restaurant. From now on, you will eat your lunch there. Do not bring leek boxes to the company again, this kind of smell shouldn’t appear in any office area. Give the cleaning department a call and ask them to send someone up to clean and remove the smell immediately.”
Grace Ziegler’s eyes reddened, her voice became hoarse, “Understood, I will do it right away.”
If it wasn’t for his suspicion that she was his half-sister from the same mother, Daniel Marshall would never tolerate such a work mistake.
Seeing the young girl cry, he didn’t have the heart to reprimand her any further.
If she really was his sister, he wanted to take care of her for their mother, to alleviate some of her burden…
After a moment of hesitation, Daniel Marshall asked, “Could you give me one of the leek boxes?”
Grace Ziegler was taken aback, she lifted her head to gaze at Chief Daniel Marshall in disbelief.
It was only after a moment that Grace Ziegler snapped out of her surprise.
It felt as though she’d just won a sizeable jackpot.
All of a sudden, Grace Ziegler nodded in agreement.
Then, she tore open a plastic bag and took out two leek boxes for Chief Daniel Marshall.
Daniel Marshall took a bite, slowly chewed, and in that moment, a flood of thoughts washed over him.
“Did you make these leek boxes?” Daniel Marshall’s eagle eyes remained fixated on Grace Ziegler, not blinking.
Grace Ziegler nodded in slight confusion, “My family sells leek boxes, the ones my mom makes are really delicious.”
