In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 589

Grace narrowed her eyes. After careful consideration, she calmed down.

"Stay here and keep an eye on him. Don't let him leave without my permission."

After saying that, she took off her coat and quickly returned to the front of the stage.

In front of the cameras, she walked up gracefully, her long dress flowing elegantly. With a standard smile on her face, she looked very charming.

Since she was no less beautiful than a female celebrity, there was a commotion in the audience.

"Milady really looks great." Timothy watched Grace happily.

Meanwhile, Benjamin glanced over indifferently. "Ms. Noelle, aren't you upset that the man pursuing you compliments other women like that?"

Timothy clicked his tongue and gave Benjamin a nudge. "Are you trying to sow discord between us?"

However, Noelle was busy admiring Grace. "It's okay. She's also my Milady."

Timothy burst into laughter.

Benjamin's expression remained grim.

On stage, Grace bowed slightly, showing her beautiful neck.

"Thank you, Mr. Thorne. But I dare not take all the credit. Byte Technologies' success today is the result of all the staff members' hard work. The development of e-commerce to this day is inseparable from good policies and a good era ..."

She had such a broad perspective.

Larry couldn't help whispering, "It's a pity that Ms. Lewis hasn't considered doing politics."

Benjamin finally smiled and led the applause first.

Grace surveyed the faces of the people below, and her gaze lingered on the empty seat.

Xander still hadn't arrived.

She suppressed her disappointment.

There were still ten minutes until midnight. He had said that he would make it.

Her feet felt sore in her high heels. Time passed second by second, but that seat remained empty, waiting for its rightful owner.

…

On the highway, vehicles were stuck in a long line.

Peter knocked on the car window. "Mr. Fulton, I went ahead to check what's happening. The road has collapsed, and it may take several hours to repair."
