In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 517

It was hard to fit into Matthew's schedule. By agreeing to meet Grace, Matthew had shown respect to her.

As such, Grace paid more attention to their appointment. She dressed up appropriately and went for dinner with Luke.

She didn't expect to see an uninvited guest as soon as she walked into the restaurant.

It was Jessica!

She was also dressed up and had an assistant by her side. Both of them were in the middle of a conversation.

"Do you think Mr. Reed from Futurelink Corporation will show up, Ms. Landon? It's hard to fit their schedules."

It was a crucial moment for Jessica's business expansion. Since Benjamin was unwilling to help her out, she could only seek support elsewhere.

Futurelink Corporation was her best choice. Unfortunately, Xander was obviously on Grace's side.

But Jessica was lucky to have made a new connection while dealing with Eastwood's new property a while back.

Jessica had seen Grace as well. She rolled her eyes disdainfully and replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Reed has promised me. We should just wait."

Grace tore her gaze away from Jessica and greeted Matthew with a smile. "I'm glad to have another opportunity to speak with you again, Mr. Thorne."

Matthew was dressed in his everyday attire and looked friendly. He had even brought a few other people with him this time.

Matthew said, "Our companies have just signed a partnership. Seeing as you're eager to move on to the next step, I can see your sincerity. So how could I miss this appointment?"

Grace was embarrassed as she replied, "Indeed, Amirate Corporation would never miss out on any win-win cooperation."

Matthew nodded in response and introduced the people with him to her. They were all shareholders of Byte Technologies.

Grace humbly shook hands with every one of them. She then led them into a private room.

She slowed down before entering the room and whispered to Luke, "Go look into what Jessica is doing here today."

Luke responded and didn't enter the private room.

The private room was located in the best spot of the restaurant. Half of Pamore's view could be seen from there.

Matthew sat at the head of the table with Grace by his side. She had good manners and spoke confidently about the project.

The shareholders were singing praises for her after a few rounds of drinks.
