Grace smiled graciously and declined. "There's no need, Ms. Snow. Someone will be picking me up shortly.""Then, I'll walk you to the door." Linda gestured, not giving Grace a chance to refuse.After a nod, Grace left in her high heels.At the entrance, Xander was talking with a few of Futurelink's partners. He casually glanced over and saw Grace approaching them."Alright, then, Mr. Leroy. We'll discuss the new nanotechnology project tomorrow at your office.""Sure, Mr. Fulton. I'll be waiting for you."After seeing the partners off, Xander hurried over to Grace. When he saw her bare shoulders, he took off his coat. "It's cold outside."As he said that, he draped it over her shoulders.As she watched this scene, Linda remained calm on the outside, but she was actually surprised by Xander's unusual tenderness for Grace."My driver is here." Grace spotted the familiar license plate. "I'll see you tomorrow, Xander."Xander made a hum of acknowledgement and waved his hand afte
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 139 His Protection
Just as Grace took her seat, a woman in her early 30s walked in with high heels, wearing black-framed glasses, and exuding a serious air.Holding a stack of folders in her hand, she greeted Benjamin as soon as she entered. "Mr. Hawkins, it's been a while."Hearing that, Benjamin looked up and raised an eyebrow, clearly recognizing her. "Ms. Gardner."Nexa Group's director, Wendy Gardner, nodded slightly and turned toward Grace. Her eyes were filled with undisguised scorn. "This must be Ms. Lewis, right?"Her tone was dripping with disdain.Sensing her hostility, Grace frowned. As far as she knew, she had never met this woman."Hello, I'm Grace Lewis."Grace spoke politely, but Wendy crossed her arms arrogantly. "I know you. You're Mr. Hawkins' ex-wife."As her words fell, the atmosphere in the conference room turned cold."Ms. Lewis, at such a young age, you've managed to secure the position of Amirate's president. It seems your capabilities are quite exceptional. I'm just cur
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 140 Reluctant Apology
Wendy couldn't help but think that Grace had strong tactics to have managed to gain Xander's support so quickly. It was no wonder that her cousin, Yvonne, had mentioned Grace's interference in her relationship with Benjamin.She thought, "Yvonne was right. This woman isn't easy to deal with."With these thoughts in mind, she reluctantly humbled herself and quickly offered an apology. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fulton. I shouldn't have said that. Please forgive me."However, Xander replied, "I'm not the one you should apologize to, Ms. Gardner."Wendy was flabbergasted, for she couldn't bring herself to apologize to Grace.In her eyes, it was Grace's fault that the Quines had gone bankrupt and Yvonne had been imprisoned. She had come here today to teach Grace a lesson."Mr. Fulton, I …"Xander stared at her and rhythmically tapped the table with his fingers. The atmosphere in the room became tense. His patience had its limits. Seeing Wendy's hesitation to apologize, he stood up and adju

She delivered the presentation proficiently, showing her professionalism.After her presentation, she closed her file and smiled at everyone."So, these are my thoughts. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, and we can discuss them together."As Wendy spoke, she swept her gaze across the room, finally resting it on Grace."Ms. Lewis, as Amirate's president, you must have valuable insights to offer regarding our proposal. Why don't you share your thoughts with us?"Wendy directly shifted the conversation to Grace, and as soon as she spoke, everyone's attention turned toward Grace.Of course, Grace noticed the disdain in Wendy's eyes, but she just frowned and made no immediate m
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 142 Underestimated Grace
Grace's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. Her professional demeanor won the approval of most people in the room as well."However, there are several obvious mistakes that we can discuss."Suddenly, Grace changed the topic, leaving everyone in the room puzzled. There was an air of disbelief as they exchanged glances."What are you talking about, Ms. Lewis?" Wendy was the first to speak up, and her voice was tinged with a subtle anger.She had meticulously reviewed her presentation slides, ensuring that the content was based on her research and was error-free.Wendy couldn't believe that Grace, who didn't understand anything, dared to claim there were issues with her work."Ms. Lewis, I invited you to provide some input as Amirate's president. I didn't expect you to be an amateur. You don't know anything, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly!"Wendy was blunt. When it came to work, she considered herself a professional, much more competent than Grace.So s

Alvin couldn't help but express his concern while silently feeling anxious for Wendy.Grace had shown her competence, proving Wendy's misconception about her cluelessness wrong.Wendy clenched her hands as she stared at Grace with a fiery gaze, but she managed to restrain herself."I'm fine."After Grace finished her explanation, the others began to ask questions and share their opinions.Grace confidently answered their questions and added relevant information, earning unanimous praise from everyone.She was teaching Wendy a lesson.Applause broke out, and Benjamin was the first to stand. He looked at Grace in admiration. "Your professionalism is as strong as it was when you were at Hawkins Group."As soon as he said that, everyone exchanged glances and began discussing quietly."Ms. Lewis used to work for Hawkins Group?""Hawkins Group has very high standards for its employees. The fact that she worked there and excelled shows her strong capabil
In the Lap of Luxury Chapter 144 Failed Cooperation
Alvin caught up with them at the elevator."Mr. Fulton, Nexa Group has made extensive preparations for this project and invested a substantial amount of money. "If Amirate doesn't cooperate with us now, it will be a fatal blow for us. I hope you can give us another chance, Mr. Fulton."However, Xander and Grace remained silent.As the elevator gradually approached their floor, Alvin was running out of ways to persuade them. "Mr. Fulton, Ms. Lewis, I hope we can still have an opportunity to collaborate. I apologize for the unexpected events today, but cooperation requires some adjustment."The moment the elevator doors opened, Grace and Xander entered it."You can go back now, Mr. Leroy."Alvin's heart sank, and he could only watch as the elevator doors closed.Just then, Benjamin approached Alvin with Larry. "Mr. Leroy!"Alvin quickly came to his senses and was shocked when he saw Benjamin. "Yes, Mr. Hawkins?"Casually, Benjamin said, "Today was an eye-opener. Let's avoid

"But I was well prepared, thanks to you. You shared the nanotechnology information with me beforehand. Otherwise, I might have been humiliated by Wendy during the meeting."Xander, are we still going to collaborate with Nexa on this project?"Hearing that, Xander reached out and ruffled her hair. His eyes were full of tenderness, as if he were looking at a precious treasure. "What do you think?""Well, business is business. We should keep it separate from personal grudges."Xander hummed in agreement and continued, "Okay. We'll need to see Nexa's sincerity. But Gracie, can I discuss something with you?"As Grace looked at him, her eyes were extremely innocent, making his heart skip a beat.Some things needed to be said."Can you change the way you address me from now on?"Grace froze for a moment, followed by a confused expression.Before she could respond, Xander continued, "Just call me Xan from now on. Everyone calls me Xander. It's not special at all.""Xan?" A hint of su
