In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 537 Take It Easy

In the video, Grace glanced at the surveillance camera unintentionally. Her natural beauty and distinct presence stood out.

Jake pressed pause, and his brow furrowed deeply.

"So it was Xander? Don't let me find this woman!"

Meanwhile, as the plane took off, it traced an arc across the sky.

Zoey was on a business trip. She had intentionally booked a flight to meet Grace at the airport after finding out the latter was coming home.

"Jeez, you were away for quite a while on this trip. Everyone's saying it was for Byte Technologies' project. Is that true?" Zoey teased while opening the car door.

Grace settled into the back seat. "It's true. What else are people saying?"

"They're also saying that since there's been no news for so long, you've probably failed."

Zoey was very eager about the gossip. "Is it true?"

Grace looked at her and asked, "What do you think?"

"Can you stop that and give me a straight answer? This is big news. Whether it's a success or a failure, my headline for this month is set."

Grace laughed and said, "Forget it. I can't say whether it's a success or failure yet, but I promise you, you'll be the first to know when I can." "Deal."

Zoey didn't press further and invited her to a gathering at a club that evening. Grace didn't refuse. She needed to unwind after so many exhausting days.

The club was bustling at night, filled with wealthy young men and women.

Grace sat in the VIP area and sipped a few drinks, looking around.

"Why isn't Lydia here? I wanted to ask her about the progress of our collaboration."

This got Emily excited, and she chimed, "Just a few days ago, Lydia came to the store to pick up some clothes, and I invited her for lunch.

"She kept making excuses not to go. I had a hunch something was off, so I followed her out, and guess who I saw?"

Everyone listened intently.

"Who?"

"Caleb! Your second brother!"

Emily couldn't contain her excitement and exclaimed, "He was sitting in Lydia's car!"

Grace laughed, happy that the two of them had finally made some progress.

"But that was a few days ago. It has nothing to do with today."

"You don't understand. I checked Caleb's schedule. He's got a concert in Linden City these days."

Understanding dawned on Grace and Zoey, and they each made a video call to the two.

After a long wait, Lydia answered, slightly flustered, "What's up, Zoey?"

"Where are you?"

"I told Emily, I'm on a business trip."

Caleb also picked up.

"Gracie, you finally remembered me, huh? What's up?"

"Where are you?"

"Preparing for a concert in Linden City."

Grace nodded, and both she and Zoey said the same thing. "Now, walk to the nearest window."

Reluctantly, Caleb and Lydia did as they were told. They had deliberately made separate video calls but ended up running into each other again. They fell silent for a moment, but their voices from the video could be heard.

They were clearly together!

Caleb looked annoyed and asked, "Grace, are you serious?"

Grace couldn't stop laughing as she leaned toward Zoey's phone. "You can hide from others, but us?"

Lydia blushed deeply.

"I... it's not... oh dear."

Caleb ended the call, then snatched Lydia's phone and said, "She's shy. Stop teasing her."

"You're so overprotective of her, Caleb. It seems like things are going well."

Caleb wished he could reach through the screen and hit her. "Hang up now! We'll talk when I get back!"

Everyone was in high spirits and clinked their glasses cheerfully.

In a private room on the second floor, a figure watched this scene unfold.
