In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 660

Grace waited for an hour before the interview finally ended and the staff dispersed.

She went up to give Zoey a glass of water. "You've worked hard. I ordered some drinks for everyone."

Zoey looked at the crowd. "Say thank you to Ms. Lewis, everyone."

"Ms. Lewis?" They all exchanged looks. Then, they shouted loudly, "Thank you, Ms. Lewis!"

Grace smiled and looked past Zoey at the interviewee's spot. As she did so, she said, "Who were you interview—"

She stopped abruptly.

That was because she was looking straight at a face that felt both familiar and distant.

"We meet again, Ms. Lewis."

Grace's expression had frozen, but Zoey didn't realize that anything was wrong.

She introduced them to each other. "This is my friend Grace, and she's the CEO of Amirate. Gracie, this is one of the nouveau riche in Pamore, Mr. Jake Fulton. He's in charge of the Aether project."

Then, she whispered in Grace's ear. "He has the same surname as Xander. What a coincidence."

Coincidence? What a joke!

She had known that Jake was in Pamore, but she hadn't expected to meet him so soon.

Jake remained relaxed as he looked at Grace's strange expression.

He adjusted his clothes and smiled as he said, "Ms. Lewis doesn't seem happy to see me at all."

Jon handed over a cup of the coffee that Grace had bought. He said happily, "Mr. Fulton, this is from Ms. Lewis."

Jake's gaze swept over it. "I won't be drinking that. Ms. Lewis enjoys drugging other people. Drinking something that she gives you comes at a price."

Grace looked angry.

No matter how slow Zoey was on the uptake, even she had realized that something wasn't right. "You two know each other?"

"No," Grace said. She looked intently at Jake. "I don't drug people lightly, unless that person is terribly annoying."

Jake laughed coldly, but he did not get angry.

"You'd better be careful then, Ms. Lewis. I have never been known to have a forgiving heart. Anyone who touches me can expect the same in return."

"Anytime."
