In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 360

The group greeted Grace loudly, startling her. Puzzled, she looked at them. "Max, what's going on?"

Max patted his stomach, comfortably sitting on the couch. "Ms. Lewis, we came over to see you."

Hearing his answer, Grace felt speechless.

She spoke straightforwardly. "You won't come without a reason. Spit it. What's the matter?"

Max quickly moved closer to Grace, looking very eager to please her. "You're indeed smart, Ms. Lewis."

He continued, "Well, I've been studying chess recently and figured out some new tricks. I just wanted to find an opportunity to play a round with you."

Grace raised an eyebrow and asked, "Youre here just for this?"

Max nodded repeatedly.

Since losing to Grace last time, he had accepted defeat, but his desire to win against her had intensified.

So he had been practicing at home during this time, and now he had found a chance to come and go against Grace.

"Ms. Lewis, can you give me a chance?"

Max looked at her pleadingly, showing no signs of a gangster boss. His eyes were filled with an obsession for chess.

However, Grace rejected him. "I can't do that this time. I have a project to inspect on an island. After the inspection, I'll play a game with you."

Max suddenly wilted, letting out a dispirited sigh.

Noticing his disappointment, Grace added, "The island is called Azure Bay. The whole trip will be over in two or three days. It's not long. You can take this opportunity to hone your skills."

Max was out of breath with anger. "Ms. Lewis, I sense deep malice from you."

Grace smiled, encouraging him. "I hope to see your improvement next time."
