Chapter 288 Grace Went Missing

Grace sneered, a chilling intent filling her eyes. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Even an assistant can be so arrogant. I find it hard to see Soraya Group’s sincerity. But I’ll kindly remind you that if you dare to act, you should be prepared to face the consequences.”

With that, Grace turned to leave.

Gina didn’t care. In her eyes, Grace was just trying to intimidate her.

Having worked in the corporate world for so many years, Gina had seen it all. She didn’t take Grace’s words seriously.

Grace left Soraya Group’s office and sat back in the car. She took her phone out to play a game.

Meanwhile, there was complete silence in the conference room.

Frowning, Xander sat in the main position without saying a word. The entire room’s mood dropped to a freezing point.

Kenneth wiped the sweat from his forehead and cautiously asked, “Mr. Fulton, do you see any issues with our collaboration?”

Xander didn’t respond.

Instead, he raised his wrist to check his watch.

It had been 20 minutes. Why hadn’t Grace arrived?

At this moment, Luke rushed in, looking concerned. “Mr. Fulton, I couldn’t find Ms. Lewis anywhere.”

Xander stood up abruptly. He dialled a number on his phone as he walked out, leaving everyone in the room puzzled.

Seeing that, Vivian hurriedly followed.

“Mr. Fulton, our meeting hasn’t finished yet. Where are you going?”

Xander didn’t bother with her. When he heard the dial tone on the other end of the call, his

brow furrowed even more.

Grace wasn’t someone who acted without reason. She had never hung up his calls before. What happened today?

“Have you seen Grace?” Xander asked.

Vivian was slow to react. She had just asked Gina to stop Grace from entering the conference room. She didn’t know that Xander cared about Grace so much.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she stammered, “Mr. Fulton, I came up with you. How could I have seen Ms. Lewis?”

At her answer, Xander pressed the elevator button to go down without asking further.

“Mr. Fulton, has something happened to Ms. Lewis? Do you need my help?”

“No need.” Two icy words were enough to show his resolute rejection:

As the elevator doors closed, Vivian turned to find Gina. “Wha happened?”

Gina whispered something, and Vivian’s face changed instantly.

“I just told you to stop her outside the conference room. Why did you chase her out?”

“I just followed your instructions, Ms. Myers.”

Vivian became impatient. “Enough. Xander has left everyone behind to find Grace. It seems her identity isn’t simple.”

Hearing that, Gina panicked as well.

If they got to the bottom of this, she might lose her job, and it would be the end for her.

“What should I do, Ms. Myers? I’ve just had a falling out with her.”

“You fool! You couldn’t even handle such a small task. If this is investigated fater, you’ll be in trouble.”

Gina suddenly became flustered and reached out to grab Vivian’s arm. “Ms. Myers, you must help me.”

“Enough! Let me think,” Vivian coldly reprimanded.

Gina placed all her hopes on Vivian. “Ms. Myers, if you can help me this time, I’ll listen to everything you say in the future.”
