In the Lap of Luxury

After eating with Hestia, Grace bought some food to go and sent it over to Fulton Group.

She told Xander that she had hired an errand boy, but the truth was that she was already in the car.

"Ferolia requires a reservation, and they change their menu every three days. They won't repeat their menu, either."

Xander replied, "Thank you, Grace. I'm anticipating it greatly."

Grace couldn't help but smile when she saw the message.

After the previous incident, the receptionist recognized who Grace was and did not try to stop her.

Instead, she led Grace straight to a private elevator. "Please come with me."

After the receptionist had swiped her card for access to the top floor, Grace inclined her head in thanks.

Although night had fallen, Fulton Group was brightly lit, especially the top floor.

It wasn't the first time Grace had come over. She saw that the office that had belonged to Jake had now been converted to a data room.

She walked down the corridor, holding the box of food, and stopped when she reached the end.

Xander's voice traveled out from the conference room. She stood still and looked through the window.

He was sitting at the head of the table with his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

The table was covered with documents that had been approved or were pending approval. There were several executives surrounding him, reporting about their work and discussing strategic plans. Grace watched and became momentarily dazed.

People did say that men looked the most handsome when they were working, but Xander was different from Benjamin.

He didn't just look handsome; he also had such a righteous air to him.

Xander had not noticed her, but Chad had. He opened the door and walked out. "It's you, Ms. Grace."

He had remembered her after meeting her the last time. Any woman who could be by Xander's side would not be an ordinary woman.

Grace's lips curved. "How long will it take for him to finish?"

"It'll take a while longer. Do you want me to inform Mr. Fulton?"

"You don't need to disturb him. I'll wait for him."

Chad immediately began to lead her away. "You can wait in Mr. Fulton's office."

The last time had been too rushed, so this was the first time Grace had been to Xander's office.

The office was furnished in black

and gray tones, and the overall style was minimalistic and sleek. It was an open-plan office with an area for entertaining guests and another for working.

At the end of it was a lounge where Xander could rest or stay in when he was working overtime.

One of the windows was open, allowing the breeze in. It ruffled the papers on the desk.

"I will let Mr. Fulton know as soon as he's done."

Grace inclined her head politely. As she sat on the couch and took in the room, she suddenly wondered what an upright and serious man like Xander would be like in bed.

She laughed at the thought. She was getting too distracted.

Xander's meeting went on for longer than Grace had expected, and she fell asleep.

She was jolted awake by a phone call. She peered groggily at it and saw that it was Victor.

"Victor?"

"Have you gone home to sleep? Wow, Grace, how could you leave me here to suffer?"

It was noisy on Victor's side. It sounded as if he was by the roadside.

Grace became more alert. "No, I haven't. What is it?"

Victor gave her an address. "Come with your driver's license and save me. I got into a car accident."

Grace was now wide awake. She put the box of food on the table and hurried out. "What happened?"

The two of them had driven out together. She had lost her temper and left without the car, leaving it for Victor. How had he gotten in a car accident?

Grace had just entered the elevator when the door to the conference room opened. Grace was walking so fast that she collided with a woman when she exited the elevator.

"It's okay."

When they had picked up all the documents, the two of them looked at each other. Both of them were startled.

Grace hadn't expected it to be Hazel.

"Ms. Lewis..."
