In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 356

Benjamin smiled, seemingly knowing what to do. "Thanks, bro."

With that, Benjamin stood up and left, leaving Frederick puzzled.

Early the next morning, Grace arrived at the office. It was the semi-annual board meeting. All of Amirate's directors and top executives had already gathered in the top-floor conference room.

As soon as she entered the office, Luke handed Grace a document, saying, "Ms. Lewis, this is the financial statement for the past six months and the financial accounting for the same period.

"In the first half of the year, our company has accumulated profits that have already surpassed last year's total profit by 10%," Luke said with obvious excitement.

They had not only achieved last year's annual performance but also exceeded it by 10%. This would be a significant accomplishment for any leader, but Grace had achieved it in just half a year.

"Ms. Lewis, if we present this data to the old folks on the board, they will surely admire and respect you. Your bet with Director Walker is as good as won."

Grace listened to Luke's words without showing any extra emotion on her face.

She took the document and looked through it. The calculated profit included the Dunhill project and the profits from several unfinished projects.

"If we exclude the Dunhill project, how much profit do we have left?"

Luke hurriedly replied, "Ms. Lewis, if we exclude that, we're still 30% short of last year's performance."

Grace nodded. "Got it. Let's go to the meeting."

In the conference room, Samuel sat in the second-in-command seat.
