In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 447 She Doesn't Know Him Well Enough

Grace stared blankly at her phone, lost in thought.

"Ms. Lewis, here is your ginger tea. Please drink it while it's hot."

Marien's voice broke Grace's train of thought. Grace quickly composed herself and said, "Just leave it, thanks."

"Okay."

As Marien was about to leave, Grace stopped her. "Marien, do you think if someone is suddenly out of reach, it could mean something has happened?"

Marien was experienced in her ways. Seeing Grace's furrowed brows, she instantly understood. "Ms. Grace, you're not talking about Mr. Fulton, are you?" Grace blushed at having her thoughts read.

"Marien, you ..."

Marien explained with a smile, "You've been mentioning Mr. Fulton for the past few days. It's hard for an old lady like me to ignore it."

Grace's face turned even redder. "Marien, what are you saying?"

Marien reassured her, "Don't worry, Ms. Grace. If Mr. Fulton hasn't been in touch for a while, it might be because he's tied up with something. I believe he will contact you as soon as he's free."

"Will he?"

Grace's tone carried a hint of uncertainty. She hadn't realized the depth of her concern for Xander.

"He will, Ms. Grace. Don't overthink it. The driver will be here to take you to the office soon."

Grace hummed in response, feeling slightly relieved. "I understand, Marien. Thank you!"

Marien left the room with a smile. Grace got out of bed and opened her contact list on her phone. Looking through it, she couldn't find anyone who might have information on Xander. She fell into deep thought, wondering if she knew too little about Xander.

For the rest of the morning, Grace was somewhat distracted.

Luke repeated himself again, asking, "Ms. Lewis, what do you think about this project? How should we respond?"

Grace snapped back to reality. "What did you say?"

Luke adjusted his glasses sheepishly and handed her the document. "Ms. Lewis, you seem a bit off today."

Grace flipped through the document, masking her emotions. "Off? No."

Luke could see right through her and asked, "Is something bothering you?"

"No, nothing! Don't overthink it. Just continue with this project," Grace said, signing her name on the document.

Luke hummed in acknowledgement, "Understood, Ms. Lewis."

After Luke left, Grace stood up and gazed out the window, taking a deep breath. Just then, the office door opened again. "Luke, is there something else?"

Caleb raised an eyebrow and replied, "It's not Luke, it's me."

Grace turned around, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Caleb. "Caleb! What brings you here?"

Acting very mysterious, he answered, "I've brought you a surprise today."

Grace was curious and asked, "What is it?"

Caleb clapped his hands and ordered, "Come in!"

Grace looked toward the door. A young woman walked in and greeted Grace. "Hello, I'm Kayla Green."

Grace looked at Caleb in surprise. "Caleb, what's this about?"

Caleb casually explained, "Now that Amirate Corporation has established a talent department, we naturally need fresh people.

"Kayla is my junior. She recently starred in a popular web series, and her contract with her previous agency just ended."
