“Wait, two guys vyirig for one girl? Do you remember Mr. Fulton, who was all chummy with Ms. Lewis

before? Word on the street is that Mr. Fulton is now Mrs. Lewis‘ go–to guy.”

“Oh my, this is too melodramatic!”

Before they could dive deeper into the conversation, Benjamin stood up from the nearby couch, with

Larry trailing him like a shadow.

“Mr. Hawkins, it’s just some people spinning tales. Don’t let it get to you.”

Benjamin stayed silent.

His eyes were dark, and his expression was beyond frosty. It was as if he had just stepped out

of a freezer.

The two of them walked to the elevator–one in the lead, the other following.

“Milady, there’s still plenty of potential in the Dunhill market. I’m considering making it the main focus

for the next three years.”

“Your plan sounds solid. If we make it big in Dunhill, our profits could skyrocket.”

“Milady, you can count on me for this. I won’t disappoint you … Crude oil is where our future’s

at…”

As Timothy and Grace chatted, they made their way out of the elevator.

But their conversation hit a speed bump.

“Look who’s back. Ms. Lewis!”

Timothy’s words hit a sudden stop as a voice called out.

“That makes sense, Ms. Lewis! I’m just reminding you out of goodwill.”

Samuel laughed exaggeratedly and was about to leave.

But Grace stopped him. “Director Walker, when did you become interested in fashion design?”

Samuel’s smile instantly froze. He felt a bit uneasy but managed to maintain his composure. “I have a

bit of interest in all aspects of the company’s business. Fashion is just one of those areas.”

Grace’s eyes narrowed. She wasn’t satisfied with his answer.

She had reviewed the surveillance footage from the fashion show and coincidentally spotted Samuel in

the audience.

She wasn’t one to believe in such coincidences.

“Director Walker, you sure are diligent.”

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, but Samuel pretended not to understand.

He walked away, but somehow it looked like he was fleeing. When the elevator opened, Samuel
