In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 7

Fiancée? 

Her marriage to Benjamin had been kept secret from the public. Hence, everyone in the company only thought that she was his secretary.

In that case, it seemed that the “fiancée” Jason mentioned was Yvonne.

Grace had just divorced Benjamin, and now Yvonne was already here at Hawkins Group.

Not only that, but Yvonne would also stay at Hawkins Manor and sleep in her bed, enjoying Benjamin’s company.

Grace’s heart stung just thinking about it.

Nevertheless, she still thanked Jason for telling her and left the HR department.

Jason stared at her receding figure intently.

He thought even a fool could tell that Grace had feelings for Mr. Hawkins. No wonder she had been dismissed.

As he turned on his computer, he sarcastically remarked to himself, “It looks like a good show is coming up soon.”

When Grace stepped out of the elevator on the top floor, she bumped into Larry.

“Ms. Lewis, you’re here.” Larry cast a look at the luggage in her hand. He guessed that she was here for her identification card.

He pointed in the direction of the conference room and said, “I’ve handed your identification card to Mr. Hawkins.

“He’s in his third meeting of the day. Are you in a hurry? Do you need me to call him out for you?”

“It’s okay. I’ll wait for him here.” Grace sounded aloof.

“Sure. How about some coffee?”

Larry knew Benjamin had no intention of letting Grace resign.

Grace had a lot on her plate, not to mention important projects. If she were to resign, it would be difficult to immediately find someone to take over her role.

“It’s Tursmain hand-brewed coffee. I’ve just learned how to make it,” Larry added. His attitude toward her was evidently more gentle than before.

“Thanks, but no, thanks.” Since Grace was planning to sever ties with Benjamin, she didn’t want to be nice to anyone around him.

After that, Larry didn’t say anything else. He entered the conference room to give the documents to Benjamin.

Grace walked past the office area and spared a glance at the conference room.

The door was opened a crack. As expected, a lot of people were sitting around the meeting table.

Benjamin’s back was facing her. He was listening to the reports from the people on either side of him. His expression was cold, and she saw him saying something from time to time.
