In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 302

Grace smiled and said, "It’s fine. You’re the agent of justice. What they said yesterday was too much. I would have given them a good beating, too."

But Benjamin protested, saying, "Women shouldn't dirty their hands by getting violent. Leave it to the men!"

Then, he stopped and joked, "I forgot to ask your name. What's your name?"

"Grace Lewis."

Benjamin nodded. "I’ll remember it."

Grace asked, "And you? What's your name? I can't just call you 'hey' whenever I see you."

Benjamin laughed and looked at her curiously.

"If you want to know my name, meet me at the school's west gate the day after tomorrow at 3:30 pm. I'll tell you then."

Grace was annoyed. "What's all the suspense for?"

But he waved at her and said, "Don't forget, 3:30 pm the day after tomorrow. See you then!"

Grace pursed her lips. She wasn’t happy with it, but she also couldn't help but look forward to it.

Time slowly ticked by, and Grace waited patiently for the day to come.

She started getting ready and dressed up in the morning, choosing her best outfit. By early afternoon, she was already waiting at the school's west gate.

However, he didn't show up.

A few days had passed since then, and Grace's anticipation turned into disappointment.

She never saw him again, even after she graduated from her master's program. Grace thought that she would never see him again in her life.

She didn't see him again until two years later, when she returned to the country after graduation. She had a transit flight from Pamore to Frenda and ran into him at the airport.

Benjamin was in a suit and carried himself in an utterly different manner than before.
