In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 357

The conference room door opened, and Grace walked in. As soon as she appeared, the room fell silent.

All eyes focused on her until she took her seat at the head of the table.

Beside her, Samuel said with a smile, "Ms. Lewis, you've worked hard during this period."

Grace looked at him and smiled in return. "You're too kind, Director Walker. It's all for the sake of the company."

Samuel chuckled awkwardly. "Since you're here, let's start our meeting."

At his words, everyone nodded, as though Samuel were in charge.

Though Grace noticed it, her expression didn't give away anything.

After a pause, she continued, "In the first half of the year, the company undertook many projects, all of which achieved good results. Now, let each project manager provide a summary—"

Before she could finish speaking, a director interrupted.

"Ms. Lewis, since today is the semi-annual board meeting, I believe everyone has already seen the financial statements for the first half of the year. Why don't we discuss the company's performance first?"

Another director in the second row chimed in. "Ms. Lewis, we've seen the reports. You worked hard in the first half of the year. Our success at Amirate is undoubtedly due to your wise leadership."

Grace crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

"Since everyone is so interested in the company's performance, let's talk about it first."

"Of course, we should discuss performance. After all, you and Director Walker made a bet. Ms. Lewis, do you remember what you said before?"
