In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 532

"Because you treated me to it."

"Xander, that's just silly!" She thought of that scene and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing her smile, Xander asked, "Still nervous?"

Grace shook her head. "Not anymore."

But as she laughed, she suddenly felt something was off. Why had Xander done that back then? Just as she was about to ask, she caught his serious look, and she suddenly realized something.

Her smile ceased, and a blush crept onto her face.

Great, now she was even more nervous.

"What ... what time is it now?"

"10:00 pm. I've asked the maids to prepare a late-night snack for you when you get back."

The conference room door opened, and Eric and the others filed out.

Grace had been crouching for too long, and her legs were numb. So Xander helped her stand.

"Congratulations, Ms. Lewis. Byte Technologies' e-commerce entry into the international market has been approved."

Everyone was stunned and found it hard to believe.

"It has been approved?" Grace whispered.

"Yes. I believe it's good news for you."

The crowd snapped back to reality, bursting into cheers and tears of joy.

The first thing Grace did was grip Xander's hand tightly. "Xander, it's approved. It's approved!"

"I told you, you could do it."

This was big news. It was a historic step. Grace's excitement built up until she couldn't help but hug Xander tightly.

"This is so great. So great!"

Xander paused, and then his large hand gently rested on her slender waist as if holding something precious.

As the meeting ended, Byte Technologies' staff members hurried to report to their superior and left first.

Eric pulled Grace aside and said, "Ms. Lewis, before today, I was wondering whether to go easy on you for saving my life, but the information you provided was impressive."

"That's too kind of you to say."

"This is a gift my wife insisted I give you as a token of thanks."

Grace accepted it, finding inside all the things she liked. They must have specifically inquired about her preferences.

"Thank you, Mr. Schultz."

"I didn't expect you to know Xander."
