So as all I do is just modify the GPL'ed code and not distribute it (it 
stays on their machines all the times, right?), just providing that 
company with some additional (non-GPL'ed) code of my own design, I fail 
to see the problem.

And after all, it's not much of a difference to a regular employee of 
that company adapting the GPL'ed code to the company's needs.
