The situation was extremely awkward, and Grace Ziegler could only suppress her anger and discontent and leave the media zone.

The HR staff in charge of the red carpet area also urged Grace to move inside. There was no one there to sympathize with her nor anyone worth drawing attention. Without any tricks to delay, Grace had no choice but to enter the banquet hall.

Apart from the Chief Secretary, the staff from the Office of the President had all arrived and they were all staring at the live broadcast on the big screen in the venue.

Seeing that Grace was being ignored by the media, they laughed at her unanimously.

Guided by HR staff, Grace found her way to the table of the President’s office secretaries.

Among the people sitting at the same table were the staff of the Chairman’s Secretariat.

There was only one seat left at the table, far from the guest table and even farther from the president’s seat. Grace had no choice but to sit down first.

Unable to wait for the arrival of the big shots outside the scene, nor to witness it on the spot, Grace could only nibble on snacks while staring at the live broadcast on the big screen.

Despite holding the position of Deputy Secretary in the President’s Office, Grace didn’t recognize many of the top executives in the corporation.

She listened attentively and took notes of the names of the relevant executives as the staff of the Chairman’s Secretariat spoke.

“Look, it’s Secretary Garcia! She’s wearing the haute couture dress we saw in magazines, it’s so beautiful!”

“Secretary Garcia is here. Does that mean the chairman is also coming soon?”

“How could it be? Secretary Garcia’s presence is to socialize on behalf of the chairman, greeting those top executives. Without social skills, do you think it’s easy to sit in Secretary’s place?”

“Look, the Chief Secretary is here too, the man beside her is quite handsome! I have never seen him before. I wonder if he is a senior executive in our company.”

Following her colleagues’ gazes, Grace stared coldly at the big screen.

The haute couture dress the Chief Secretary was wearing was far superior to theirs, so dazzling and envious. The jewelry the Chief Secretary wore was so beautiful. Comparing their outfits, there was just no point of comparison. The man next to the Chief Secretary was handsome indeed, the suit he was wearing looked expensive.

Grace felt an inexplicable pang in her heart.

Grace also noticed that when Secretary Garcia and the Chief Secretary walked the red carpet, the media in the waiting area took out their cameras to take pictures of them. The host even gave them pens to sign on the background wall.

These were treatments they, the obscure employees, never received. However, it was already a privilege to be able to attend the annual meeting.

…

The senior executives and guests of the Marshall Corporation began to arrive one after another, and many people cast envious gazes at them.

Grace noticed that the Chief Secretary was always with that man. She greeted many senior executives of the corporation with him, obviously introducing him to each of them.

All of a sudden, a colleague jokingly asked, “Grace, can you guess what that handsome man beside the Chief Secretary does? Do you think he will become a senior executive of the corporation?”

Grace disdainfully replied, “Just pay more attention to the company’s bulletin board. If there are personnel changes, a notice will be given sooner or later.”

“This man is Alexander Saunders, a younger schoolmate of Chief Daniel Marshall. He has recently returned from abroad, and from now on, he will be your superior in the Office of the President, the newly appointed Chief Secretary. Haven’t you guys from the President’s Office’s receiving any notifications? Tonight, this handsome guy is meeting the corporation’s senior executives in the capacity of Chief Daniel Marshall’s new Chief Secretary. The outgoing Chief Secretary, of course, has to bring him along.”

In an instant, as Grace looked towards the familiar voice, she saw Grace Martinez holding a glass of champagne and smiling at her.

Yes, they did not know about such an important matter, and HR had no news at all.
