Chapter 11 - Daniel Promotes Grace and Changes Everything Around Him
Daniel walked back down the grand staircase into the living room, his mind racing with corporate defense strategies.
Grace had stood up from her armchair and was gathering her jacket to leave for the evening commute.
“Grace, wait a moment,” Daniel said, stopping her before she reached the front foyer doors.
Grace turned around, her expression instantly shifting from relaxed warmth to professional alertness.
“Is something wrong, Mr. Whitfield? Did I forget to lock up the silver cabinet?” she asked.
“No, everything in the house is secure,” Daniel reassured her, stepping closer with a determined look in his eyes.
“I need to ask you something unusual, and you have every right to say no without any consequences.”
Grace tilted her head slightly, waiting patiently for the billionaire to explain himself.
“My corporate rivals just tried to use Vanessa to steal our commercial zoning blueprints for Monday’s municipal bid,” Daniel explained.
Grace’s eyes widened as she processed the heavy corporate implications of his words.
“What does that have to do with me, Mr. Whitfield?”
“It means my entire executive team is compromised, and I need someone I can trust unconditionally to audit our physical files,” Daniel said.
“You want a domestic maid to help audit corporate construction bids?” Grace asked, raising an eyebrow in skepticism.
“I want the only person in this estate who has integrity, common sense, and zero loyalty to corporate greed,” Daniel corrected her.
Grace stood in silence for a long moment, weighing the risks and responsibilities of stepping into his business world.
“If I do this, I want my salary doubled, full health benefits for Lily, and zero corporate interference,” Grace stated boldly.
Daniel stared at her in utter astonishment before a wide, approving grin broke across his face.
