"We've already reached a collaboration agreement with Futurelink. In the initial stages of the project, I'll personally go there to oversee it.""Ms. Lewis, do you need me to go with you?"Grace nodded. "Prepare yourself. When the time comes, go with Futurelink and take the main team along."After confirming the work, Grace sent a message to Xander. Unexpectedly, her phone rang abruptly.She looked at the flashing number on the screen and answered expressionlessly.Benjamin's voice came through the phone. "Grace, I heard you've reached a collaboration agreement with Futurelink." Grace raised her eyes and glanced out the window. "You seem to be well-informed, Mr. Hawkins.""Are you sure you want to choose him over me? Working with Hawkins Group has a better chance of success, doesn't it?"Yet Grace responded, "Mr. Hawkins, the die is cast. There's no need for more words."But Benjamin wasn't willing to accept it.When had he ever lost?"The Dunhill project isn't as simple as
In a magnificent hotel, the amorous sounds of a man and a woman filled the air.After a passionate encounter, Yvonne leaned against the head of the bed and took a deep drag of a cigarette dangling between her fingers.The naked man beside her pulled her into his arms and spoke in a light tone."It's been a while, and your skills have clearly regressed. It seems like prison life didn't treat you well."Yvonne blew a smoke ring. "Cut the crap. I called you out for something serious."The man chuckled."Okay. Weren't we doing something serious?"Yvonne's eyes darkened as she extinguished the cigarette. "Benjamin is starting to suspect me, but he can't present any evidence at the moment."The man's large hand began to roam over her body as he said, "There's no need to worry if there's no evidence. We just need to be careful."Seriously, Yvonne swatted his hand away. "Regardless, I must become Mrs. Hawkins. Even if that fails, I want to make Grace, that bitch, try living in prison.
Yvonne suddenly had an idea. "Tell me. Do you have any good ideas?"The man leaned over, pressing her down, and whispered seductively, "If you want to know, serve me well."After that, the room was filled with another round of amorous sounds.…The next day, Grace had packed her bags early in the morning. Before she set off, she received a call from Aaron."Gracie, I heard you're going to Dunhill."Grace knew she couldn't keep anything from Aaron, so she replied, "Yes, I'm going with Xander.""I have a friend in Dunhill. If you need anything, you can contact him."Grace hummed in acknowledgement. "Thanks, Aaron. I'm not a child anymore. There's no need to worry about me."Yet Aaron was still concerned. "Is Luke going with you?""The other employees are taking a later flight. We'll meet in Dunhill the next day."Hearing Grace's response, Aaron felt reassured. With Luke and Xander there, watching over her, there shouldn't be any major problems.He reminded her. "You've been i
Vivian exchanged smiles with Grace, but her attention was on Xander."I didn't expect you to come in person this time, Mr. Fulton. Soraya Group warmly welcomes you. It must have been a long journey. Let me take you to the hotel first."Xander's expression darkened, and he curtly replied, "Thank you, Ms. Myers."Suddenly, two luxury cars stopped in front of them. Vivian gestured toward Grace."Please get in, Ms. Lewis."Grace nodded slightly. As she got into the car, Xander followed and took a seat next to her without hesitation.Then, he said to Vivian, "Ms. Myers, it's fine for Ms. Lewis and me to share a car."Vivian was annoyed.Her expression slightly changed, but she suppressed her emotions. "Sure, Mr. Fulton. I'll follow behind you."As the car door closed, the vehicle slowly pulled away.Grace pouted and said jealously, "Xander, Ms. Myers wanted to share a car with you. Aren't you afraid of hurting her pride?"Xander turned his head to look at her and reached out to r
So there's only this one left for you, Mr. Fulton."After saying this, Vivian took out a room card from her bag. She stared at his profile with a seductive gaze, then handed the room card to Xander.As she winked, she said, "Mr. Fulton, I'm staying next door. Feel free to come over anytime for some in-depth discussions."Without waiting for Xander's response, she swayed her hips and left.Xander glanced at the room card. Without hesitation, he threw it into the trash. He took out his phone, intending to call Grace.However, Grace had already rushed up with her suitcase.Seeing Xander, she ignored everything. She disregarded her suitcase and pounced into his arms. With a trembling voice, she said, "Xander, there's ... there's a mouse. A big one."Her face had turned pale from shock, and her body was shaking.Upon seeing her look like a shocked kitten, Xander couldn't help but find it amusing. "Well, then. You can stay in my room tonight."Grace nodded eagerly, not hesitating fo
The moment Grace realized that she and Xander were the only ones in the room, her face blushed.She didn't have to think twice to figure out that Xander must have carried her into the room."Ah, Grace! You're in deep trouble," she regretfully said, paying no attention to Xander beside her as she promptly ushered him out.Xander was bewildered, but he shook his head in resignation.When Grace finished freshening up, Xander had already left the room. She sighed deeply, then sat down at the dining table and earnestly began eating breakfast.However, halfway through her meal, the doorbell rang.Thinking it might be Xander returning, Grace got up to open the door. "Xander, didn't you take your access card?"She froze abruptly. The sight that greeted her wasn't Xander, but a surprised-looking Vivian.Pointing at Grace, Vivian seethed with anger. "You … you stayed here last night?"Grace looked innocent as she asked, "Is there a problem?"Fuming, Vivian asked, "Where's Mr. Fulton?
"Maybe it's just a coincidence that she shares the same surname as the Lewis family.""I agree. Look at her. Does she seem like a wealthy young lady?"Vivian glanced in that direction and concurred with Gina."Never mind. She's not my target for today."Gina nodded. "Rest assured, Ms. Myers. I know your target is Mr. Fulton."Vivian acknowledged it with a hum, not denying Gina's statement.Gina continued, "Mr. Fulton is such a high-quality bachelor. Ms. Myers, you have to get him. Men like him are rare. Once in hand, it's like achieving a social class breakthrough."Arrogantly, Vivian said, "Of course. Men like innocent women occasionally, but generally, they prefer someone sexy and charming. I don't believe I can't win him over."After saying that, she confidently followed the group.The team took an MPV to Soraya Group. As the leading enterprise in Dunhill, it was splendidly decorated.Banners were hung at the entrance that read, "Welcome to Soraya Group, Ms. Lewis and Mr.
Grace sneered, a chilling intent filling her eyes."Even an assistant can be so arrogant. I find it hard to see Soraya Group's sincerity. But I'll kindly remind you that if you dare to act, you should be prepared to face the consequences."With that, Grace turned to leave.Gina didn't care. In her eyes, Grace was just trying to intimidate her.Having worked in the corporate world for so many years, Gina had seen it all. She didn't take Grace's words seriously.Grace left Soraya Group's office and sat back in the car. She took her phone out to play a game.Meanwhile, there was complete silence in the conference room.Frowning, Xander sat in the main position without saying a word. The entire room's mood dropped to a freezing point.Kenneth wiped the sweat from his forehead and cautiously asked, "Mr. Fulton, do you see any issues with our collaboration?"Xander didn't respond.Instead, he raised his wrist to check his watch.It had been 20 minutes. Why hadn't Grace arrived?A
