In the Lap of Luxury

That night, Grace recounted what had happened to her friends in their group chat.

"Both Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond are pretty healthy. So logically speaking, Xander shouldn't have any health problems." She lay on her huge bed, feeling very troubled.

Zoey was the first to reply. "This is hilarious! Why would you think that there's something wrong with his health?"

Emily sent a message. "Are you crazy? Any man in the world could have health problems, but not Xander."

Grace asked, "How do you know?"

Emily answered, "It's obvious! If I'm lying to you, then call me Benjamin's son."

Grace couldn't help bursting into laughter.

Then, Lydia said, "But now that you mention it, have you really gotten over Benjamin?"

Grace paused in the middle of typing. She thought for a moment, then told them her honest opinion. "I find him disgusting."

Although many people may not mean it when they said they no longer had feelings for someone, using words like "disgusting" usually indicated that they were completely over it. The others changed the subject and chatted for a while, and then Grace suddenly thought of something. Amirate Corporation wanted a piece of the pie from the Black Friday sale. Hence, they would need some big brand names to support them, so she asked for her friends' help.

Her friends were ready to help, and Emily sent a voice message. "Babe, you'll need some clients with big buying power for these brands."

Grace sighed resignedly. "Of course, our main target is the low-end market. We'll leave the luxury goods to the end, and we won't disgrace you."

Lydia said, "I give you my full support. Contact me whenever you need me."

Zoey said, "I can stir up public interest for you. After all, Amirate reaching out to the commoners would be news that the world would like to see." Grace laughed. "Who would say no to money?"

Grace took action quickly, and the next day she began to take over quality control. She monitored every live broadcast channel in real-time.

The news of Amirate establishing a multi-channel network organization spread quickly with the help of Zoey, and several new internet celebrities joined their ranks.

Grace's accomplishments were a testament to her ability, and everyone was eager to rely on strong support like Amirate.

As a result, many high-end brands were also willing to work with them.

"Grace!"

Grace had just entered the Byte Technologies building when she heard a familiar voice. She was surprised to see that it was Benjamin.

Grace stood still. "What is it, Mr. Hawkins?"

Larry stood beside Benjamin. They were obviously here to discuss business.

Benjamin approached her and said in a low voice, "Live commerce is a new field, and there have already been several red flags. Are you sure you want to get mixed up in this?" Grace immediately looked displeased.

"I should check my horoscope before I go out."

"What?"

"I mean to say that I'm really unlucky. I met you the moment I came out, Mr. Hawkins."

Benjamin's expression darkened at once, but he continued patiently, "Grace, the business world is like a battlefield.

"Don't forget that your bet with Director Walker hasn't ended yet. If you maintain your collaboration with Albert, then you still have a thread of hope. I don't want to see you lose everything." He had good intentions, but it only sounded sarcastic to Grace.

"Wouldn't you be pleased if I did lose?"

"Grace!" Benjamin couldn't help moving forward.

Luke stopped him. "Ms. Lewis has urgent matters to attend to, Mr. Hawkins. I'm afraid that she'll be unable to continue this conversation."

Grace wasn't in a hurry to leave. She looked at Benjamin and said, "I've been in the business world for so many years. If I were afraid of losing, then I wouldn't have made the bet.

"I was your secretary for so long. Haven't you learned that about me yet?"

She sounded extremely sarcastic.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. "Who taught you all of this? Xander?"
