The confidence Grace radiated stabbed Jessica deep. That was something Jessica had never experienced before. She couldn't comprehend how Grace could be so fortunate.
"You..." Jessica took a deep breath.

"Now it seems that not only did she succeed, but she probably doubled the performance. You lost." "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let her achieve this so easily." Their limited vision was to blame.
"There's no use in blaming yourself now. If I were you, I'd settle this before the board meeting is held." Jessica's tone was chilling. Startled, Samuel narrowed his eyes. "Ms. Landon, do you mean ...' "Tonight is a good opportunity. The venue is close to our construction site. Director Walker, I can only help you up to this point. What you do next is your choice." Her words were full of underlying messages. She didn't want to stay there for another second, so she got up and left.
As the audience slowly left, only Samuel remained seated. He was on pins and needles, and beads of sweat fell down his face.
Jessica was right. If the board meeting were held, Grace would undoubtedly force him to give up his decision-making rights. Perhaps he wouldn't even get his bonus.
He couldn't just sit and wait for his doom.
As Grace left the stage, her assistant quickly handed her a coat. When Grace lifted her head, her eyes fell on Shawn.
Most of the audience had left. Shawn was sitting alone, exuding a distinguished air. Not far away, sgirls were whispering, trying to guess if he was a celebrity.
Smiling, Grace was about to approach him when a voice called out, "Ms. Lewis." She stopped "Director Walker? Did you enjoy the show?" Samuel heard the sarcasm in her tone and beceven more annoyed. "I heard Josh is with you. What right do you have to detain him?" Grace smiled. "I'm the one who should ask questions here. Why did you send him backstage to take photos without permission?" "I didn't." Grace didn't believe him.
"I found out there was a corporate spy backstage, so I sent Josh in." Samuel spoke righteously.

How could you not know that there's a spy in Amirate?" Samuel's words were dripping with ridicule and accusation.
At first, Grace didn't believe him. If there really was a spy, how could she not have known? However, his words made ssense. Josh had said that he had gone backstage to find someone.
Hence, she believed him to sextent. "How did you find out about the spy?" "You don't need to ask that. If you want evidence, why don't you cto the office with me? You can see it for yourself." Feeling skeptical, Grace didn't agree.
"You don't even have the courage to do this. I don't even know why Mr Thorne trusts you," Samuel said. Without hesitation, he turned to leave. Śwswn Despite his act, his palms were actually covered in sweat.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Grace spoke up.
After all, they were going to Amirate. There shouldn't be any problem.
With his back turned to her, Samuel heaved a sigh of relief.
Grace glanced at Shawn again. As she walked out, she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Griffin, but I have something urgent to attend to. I'm afraid I can't introduce you to Caleb tonight."
