In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 575 If He Can't Go

Enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room.

Outside the door, Samuel snorted as he walked away. "She sure thinks she's smart!"

His subordinate followed him. "It won't be that easy. The e-commerce industry has already been divided between a few shopping platforms. It won't be easy for Byte Technologies to take a piece of the pie."

Samuel thought so too, but he couldn't help but feel worried by Grace's confidence.

"What if she succeeds?"

"Director Walker, at the previous gathering, the chairman of Dealer already said that their platform wouldn't give Byte Technologies any discounts. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"They are competitors, and consumers aren't dumb. The winner will be the one who provides the most discounts!" said Samuel's assistant.

He had been working with Samuel for over ten years. The two of them were around the same age, and both of them disliked how young people worked.

Samuel felt reassured by his assistant's words. Just then, he looked up to see Caleb getting out of the elevator.

He narrowed his eyes. "That fellow has been coming to the office very often lately."

"I heard that he has been quite free recently. Besides, his sister is here, so it's natural for him to come here."

Samuel snorted coldly. "I saw him at the get-together the other day too."

"You mean the one that took place a few days ago?"

That night at the restaurant, Caleb had been with a woman. Even from a distance, it was obvious that the two of them had a special relationship.

Samuel had even come across the two of them kissing in the corner when he had gone to the restroom.

He blinked. "Will Caleb come to the gala?"

"Of course. He's one of Amirate's people now, and it's Ms. Lewis' project. He will definitely come. I heard he will be part of the grand finale."

"Hmm … if he can't attend, then the gala's effect will be greatly weakened, right?"

"Do you mean …"

Samuel said meaningfully, "Do we still have those photos from that day?"

…

Things had been busy as of late. During the last rehearsal for the Black Friday gala, everyone had gathered together for work.

The stage was huge, and Caleb was rehearsing there with the band. There was even a glass room at the side where the staff were adjusting the equipment. Wayne would also be having a live broadcast for sales that night.

Zoey was personally at the live broadcast venue to supervise the news. "Byte Technologies is getting a lot of hype this year and may even surpass the other two platforms. You've got a good eye, Gracie."

Grace laughed. "No one can monopolize any market for long. It's such a huge market that there has to be someone to give them some pressure."

"I heard that VERE Jewelry and ME Group are both supporting you by giving special discounts. It's a pity that I can't help," Emily said regretfully.

"They did give some special discounts, but they're big brands, so it's limited. Don't worry, I won't use your custom-made clothes as free gifts for the grand first day." Grace pushed Emily, laughing.

Emily hugged her arm. "I didn't mean it that way. I'm just eager to help."

Zoey said in a deadpan voice, "I hope so."

The three of them burst out laughing, but Grace suddenly stopped and gestured to the other two.

Lydia was standing in front of the stage, taking photos with her phone.

Caleb seemed to feel eyes on him. He looked up and smiled at her. The click of the camera sounded just then. It was a beautiful shot. Caleb looked very handsome with his extravagant stage makeup.

Lydia smiled, but in the next second, someone snatched her phone away. "What are you taking photos of?"

"Hey! Gracie, give it back!"

Grace dodged and teased her, "People really are different when they're in love. I guess one day apart feels like a hundred years! Is this even worth taking photos of?"
