Semua Bab In the Lap of Luxury: Bab 721 - Bab 730

Xander pinched Grace's cheek. "Am I smelly?""It's fine. I like the smell of alcohol and smoke on you. It's different from others'. It's not disgusting." Grace spoke innocently, squeezing his waist to prove her point.Xander's eyes darkened.…The next day, when Grace woke up, she found herself alone in bed. Rubbing her waist, she got up and noticed a note that had been left on the bedside table."There's breakfast on the table. Make sure you finish it. I'm leaving to deal with some matters. See you in the afternoon."Grace smiled. In her mind, she could hear Xander's gentle and calm voice saying those words.But there was nothing gentle about him in bed. Instead, he had a primal urge. He enjoyed gripping her neck lightly and demanding that she say she loved him until he was satisfied.It was an odd contrast.…"I attended a dinner yesterday and pulled out all the stops. I finally managed to find out when Celia is debuting," Ashley reported to Grace as soon as the latter arri

Even if they blurred the video, the hundreds of audience members present had already seen the entire content, not to mention the fellow artists on stage.Lukas felt a chill down his spine, but he also knew that the person behind this was not someone he could afford to offend. He wisely asked, "And what's in it for me, Ms. Ashley?""One million dollars." Ashley handed him a card. "Take 20 thousand dollars a month. You'll get the full amount in five months."Lukas immediately agreed. "I'll do it."He then walked onto the stage to control the situation. "How could you mess up with such a video? Change it back now!"Celia was trembling with anger and lost all interest in continuing the recording. As she stared at a figure in the corner, she understood everything at once.Grace was about to get up and leave. Even with a mask on, her stunning beauty couldn't be hidden. She glanced at Celia and then disdainfully looked away. She walked straight out, with Caleb following closely behind

Frederick was confused.Benjamin narrowed his eyes as he watched Grace's slender figure walk straight to the room at the end of the corridor and push the door open to enter.He stopped a waiter passing by. "Who is using the premium private room today?"The waiter said respectfully, "It's Mr. Fulton of Futurelink."Benjamin took out two cigarettes deliberately. "Oh? Who is he entertaining?"The waiter hesitated and was silent for a while. Benjamin took out a card from his jacket pocket and handed it over along with the cigarettes. "Who is he entertaining?"The waiter turned sideways and gestured for him to look. "They're the people who drive these cars in the city. There are only a few of them."He looked in the direction of the parking lot. There were a few low-profile Bentley Mulsannes and Audi A6s. …Xander very rarely drank too much. Even when he was entertaining guests, he would control himself. With his position and influence, no one would even try to ply him with alco

Xander finally managed to coax Hestia into going out for some relaxation. He got into the car and looked at the seat next to him. There were no neatly arranged documents from Hazel. He asked the chauffeur, "Hasn't Hazel arrived yet?""Not yet. Maybe she had a bit too much to drink last night and is running late."Xander did not answer. Hazel had a high alcohol tolerance. In fact, she was better than the employees in the public relations department. Otherwise, she would not have been able to stay by his side. Had she had too much to drink?…A few days ago, Aaron had taken Harold back to Frenda, so only Victor had stayed until the last day of the holidays. Grace was driving him to the airport. He still looked half-asleep. "I don't want to go to work."Grace burst into laughter. "Why did you insist on becoming a programmer? All your hair will be gone in another ten years.""That's not because I'm a programmer." Victor crossed his legs lazily as he waited to check in. "How's i

Grace nodded. "It's a delight to continue working with you, Mr. Baxter."Bobby had had a little too much to drink. He waved his hand expansively. "He tailor-made this project for you. You don't know this, but on the day of the tender, he cornered me at Fulton Group and forced me to play a game of chess with him. I was almost scared out of my wits."Grace was startled. She hadn't known about that. She thought for a moment. Xander must have come up with the project so that he could return to Pamore."It's just that Jake caught up unexpectedly. Now all is well. He's been defeated, and Mr. Fulton still holds the authority."Grace hurriedly stopped him. "Mr. Baxter, it's still too early to say. It won't sound good if this gets out."Bobby came to his senses and slapped himself on the head. "What a blockhead I am."Bobby's eyes were filled with admiration for Grace. Meanwhile, Grace thought to herself that he probably wouldn't have trusted her so much if it weren't for Xander.Her
