In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 308 Filled With Regret

Grace quickly turned away, too shy to look at him.

Even though he had made his feelings clear, she still dared not respond to him in the slightest.

For a moment, time stood still.

After a long pause, Xander took the initiative to reach out and stroke her hair.

"You don't have to give me an answer now. Take your time to think it over. I'm not in a hurry."

Only then did Grace raise her eyes and look at him.

Memories of them together flashed through her mind.

Perhaps she would never find someone who treated her as well as he did.

"Xander, give me a little more time, okay?"

Xander nodded and replied, "Sure."

Grace took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and looked toward the distant sky.

Even though she had tried hard to forget the past and let go of the obsession in her heart, for some reason, a part of her still missed the passionate young man who had fought for justice on the university campus.

Grace couldn't help but think of Benjamin. However, he wasn't the same man as before.

"I want to see Ms. Lewis! Let me in."

"Sorry, miss! Ms. Lewis is currently attending a party and cannot meet guests."

At the entrance, the security guard tried to stop Vivian, who was trying to force her way in.

However, Vivian exerted all her strength to push through, leading to a conflict with the security guard.

"Look at all the gifts I brought. They're all for Ms. Lewis. Can't you make an exception and let me in?"

The security guard remained firm. "I don't have the authority to do that unless Ms. Lewis gives me permission."

Vivian stamped her foot in frustration, but now she had no way in.

Just then, Grace and Xander walked out. Seeing Grace, Vivian's eyes lit up, and she waved at Grace from a distance.

"Ms. Lewis, I'm Ms. Myers from Soraya Group. We've met before. Do you remember?"

Grace furrowed her brow, not understanding what Vivian was up to.

The security guard quickly approached her, asking, "Ms. Lewis, this young lady insists on seeing you and has been causing a commotion here for quite some time."

Grace waved her hand, saying, "Let her in."

With that, Vivian rushed in.

She beamed as she stood before Grace. "Hi, Ms. Lewis! I'm here to apologize to you.

"I made a mistake. I should've been more considerate and thoughtful. I'm here to apologize and hope you can accept these gifts."

After speaking, Vivian presented the gifts she had brought, including some luxurious skincare, makeup, and health supplements.

Grace looked at them in surprise. She asked, "Ms. Myers, you don't have to go to such an extent for an apology."

However, Vivian persisted.

"Ms. Lewis, I know you might still be angry. Gina was the one who stopped you from entering the conference room.

"But she had already been fired. That idiot was too shortsighted and offended you. Think of this as a harsh lesson for her."

Grace turned to look at her. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

With a slight smile, she said, "Ms. Myers, I heard that Gina was your assistant."
