In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 426

"There's a business reception tonight. It's time for Amirate to explore some new projects. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Grace's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed.

"Sure, I've been worrying about the performance for the second half of the year. I haven't figured out anything yet, but maybe I can develop some new projects through this opportunity."

…

At 7:00 pm, Santio Grand Hotel, which was located in Pamore's most luxurious spot, was now brightly lit. There was a constant stream of people entering the hotel.

Most of those attending this business reception were from some of Pamore's top-notch enterprises.

In other words, if one could get an invitation to this reception, they must already have considerable wealth. Naturally, Hawkins Group was invited as well.

After helping Benjamin get ready in his suit and tie, Larry respectfully said, "Mr. Hawkins, Futurelink is one of the organizers of tonight's business reception. Ms. Lewis is likely to attend."

Benjamin's movements noticeably stiffened, and he looked at himself in the mirror.

After checking that everything was in order, he casually spoke. "Have the driver bring the car. We'll be leaving."

Larry's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Benjamin had been unexpectedly calm, even after hearing that Grace would be there.

Although Larry was puzzled, he didn't show it on his face. He replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

When Benjamin came out of the room, he saw Susan, who was dressed up, walking toward him. His expression darkened. "Mom, where are you going?"

Susan showed a big smile. "Ms. Landon invited me to attend a banquet. I thought it would be good to go out and socialize and make more friends."

"Ms. Landon? Which Ms. Landon?"
