In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 8

Grace was somewhat hesitant. She had already submitted her resignation, and she no longer had any obligations to handle matters like this. 

Moreover, although Yvonne’s words sounded like a request, her tone made it seem like an order.

Grace didn’t like it.

Then again, Benjamin did have her identification card, and this would be the last time she would be dealing with such trivial tasks.

She could also use the chance and ask him for her identification card when she sent the coffee over later.

She took a deep breath and said, “Okay.”

“Thanks.” Then, Yvonne walked away.

After getting pregnant, Yvonne’s demeanor had a touch of motherliness. Nevertheless, her confidence as the affluent daughter of a prominent family still contrasted with Grace’s.

Back then, thanks to Grace’s distinguished family, Yvonne had been nowhere on par with her. However, as the years had passed, Grace seemed to have ended up losing her poise and elegance.

Grace stood there in a daze for a while before she collected her thoughts. Then, she went to the pantry to brew the Americano with three-quarter black sugar and one-quarter milk.

That was how Benjamin liked it.

As Grace walked back, she saw that the meeting had ended and everyone was walking out of the conference room.

Noticing that Benjamin wasn’t around, she assumed that he must have gone to his office.

With the coffee in her hand, she knocked on his office door.

“Come in.” It was Yvonne’s coquettish voice.

Grace almost spilled the Americano. It took her a while to pluck up her courage and finally push the door open.

The moment she did, she saw Yvonne wrapping her arms around Benjamin’s n*eck and sitting on his lap.

Although Grace had mentally prepared herself, her heart still stung like hell upon seeing such a scene.

Yvonne seemed somewhat embarrassed that Grace had seen her intimacy with Benjamin. “You can leave after putting down the coffee,” she said.

Hearing that, Grace came to her senses and slowly raised her head. She looked Benjamin in the eye.

His gaze was laced with such coldness that it seemed like he could devour her right then and there.

Grace felt like Benjamin was doing this on purpose. He was aware of her presence, yet he chose to let her stumble upon his intimate moment with Yvonne, all to embarrass her.

“Ms. Lewis?” Yvonne looked over when she didn’t receive any response from Grace.
