After making his point, Daniel Marshall hung up the phone.
Not wanting to say another word, thatâs just how he is.
Martin Wallace sighed and shook his head, âWhy am I always the one who gets hurt? Next time, I must eat more abalone, I must get my moneyâs worth.â
At the Marshall Corporation, Adam Howard knocked on the door and entered the CEOâs office.
He placed a stack of resumes in front of Daniel.
âThese are chosen from the headhunting companyâs vice presidents of various types, and each one has been carefully vetted, so they all have good character and strong business skills. Theyâre all reliable people,â he explained.
Daniel carefully reviewed the resumes, each one was sincere, and their working experience was trustworthy, âHand these over to the HR department of Jenkins Group.â
âGot it.â
Daniel looked at Adam Howard sternly, âDonât let my wife know that I orchestrated this.â
Adam Howard carefully probed, âAre you two at odds?â
âShe wonât accept my arrangements.â Daniel scowled, his wife was stubborn, always treated him like a thief, and persuading her took too much time.
âIâll handle it discretely.â
âThatâs it. You can leave.â
Adam still sat opposite Daniel.
Daniel looked up, his deep gaze made Adam feel apprehensive.
He licked his lips and took a deep breath. Keeping his courage up, Adam reported, âBenjamin Johnson and Jay Bennett have gone for lunch, and your wife saw them.â
Danielâs lips thinned, and a fleeting trace of some emotion passed through his eyes.
Adam hesitated briefly before continuing, âYour wife was with her assistant so Benjamin Johnson wouldnât dare say anything out of line. And he wonât hurt Jay
Bennett. If he did, it would show him up for less of a man.â
âSo, he chooses to hurt my wife instead? What right does Benjamin Johnson have? What qualifications does he have?â Danielâs grim face darkened further, his eyes sparking with fire.
After remaining silent for a moment, Adam asked, âWould you like us to inform your wife about Jay Bennett?â
Daniel gave a bitter smile, he mocked himself, âJay Bennett doesnât want to meet her, and my wife isnât interested in my affairs and doesnât care about me. Perhaps if they both donât know about each otherâs existence, theyâll feel more comfortable. After all, women love to overthink.â Adam agreed.
But if things get out of control, it might backfire.
Womenâs thoughts are mysterious!
âDaniel, it would be best if you take an opportunity to mention it, to avoid any equation blowing up. Whether they want to meet or not is their decision. It doesnât concern you, after all, youâre only doing what you should.â
âIâll consider it.â
âHave you ever thought about⦠ifâ¦â
Adam stopped speaking as the words were almost out of his mouth, he carefully observed Danielâs expression.
He was afraid of stepping on a land mine.
Daniel looked at Adam indifferently, âSpeak!â
âItâs nothing. Iâll go now. Next time, youâre treating me and Martin Wallace to a meal. â
âRemember to keep a close eye on Benjamin Johnson!â
Adam made an OK gesture with his hand and left.
It might be better to wait until Daniel and Olivia Jenkinsâ relationship has deepened to bring up the matter of having children. By that time, it might be easier for them to accept.
After receiving the gift from Jay Bennett, Benjamin Johnson met up with Xiang Fu.
He handed her the gift.
Xiang Fu looked at Benjamin Johnson with curiosity, âArenât you going to ask me about my intentions with this gift?â
Benjamin Johnson lit a cigarette and, squinting his deep eyes, he stared at
Xiang Fu, âJust take care of it, Iâm not interested in your purpose.â
âYou know my purpose, because you agree with my thoughts. The result you want is the same as what Iâm thinking.â
Benjamin Johnson sneered, disdainfully glaring at Xiang Fu, âYouâve been with Daniel for so long and still havenât changed. I can see how far youâve fallen..â
