In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 293 An Extensive Search

After speaking, Grace stood up and walked toward the restroom.

However, she didn't notice that several pairs of eyes had been fixed on them, watching her walk away alone.

The people hurried in the direction she had left.

"Mr. Fulton, at Dunhill, besides the Soraya Group, only Acme Group has the strength to negotiate the million-dollar project with you and Ms. Lewis. What do you think of this partnership?"

Xander didn't directly answer him, even though Acme Group was indeed their best option.

He remained calm. "This partnership is important to all three companies, and we must be cautious." This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"After the investigation, both companies will develop a feasible plan, assess the risks, and then we can discuss the partnership further."

Xander chose his words carefully. It was hard for anyone to figure out his plans.

George had been in the business for so many years, so he understood what Xander was doing.

"I agree! We can take it slow and steady! But Mr. Fulton, Acme Group will not disappoint you."

The two continued chatting for a while.

However, Xander was getting impatient. He raised his wrist, checked the time, completely ignoring George, and walked in the direction Grace had left.

George was puzzled and quickly caught up. "Mr. Fulton, what's going on?"

Xander paced forward and said, "Why has Grace been gone for so long?"

George roughly understood what was happening as he observed Xander's demeanor.

But he hadn't expected Xander to be so concerned about Grace. Could they be a couple?

He hadn't heard about it before.

George reassured him, "Mr. Fulton, don't worry. Our mining site is so large. Could Ms. Lewis have gotten lost?"

Xander didn't believe this explanation.

He was overwhelmed with anxiety, and he rushed to the restroom, barging in without hesitation.

"Gracie, are you in here?"

However, after checking every stall, he found no sign of Grace.

Xander frowned. He grabbed George and asked, "Are there other restrooms around the mining site?"

George shook his head. "Currently, this restroom is the closest to the lounge. Isn't Ms. Lewis in there?"

Xander realized that something was wrong. Without hesitation, he took out his phone and called the bodyguard.

"Block every exit from the mining site. No one is allowed in or out. Find Grace, even if you have to rip this place apart."

George also quickly arranged for his men to find her.

"Hurry, find Ms. Lewis! Everyone has to look for her!"

After giving the orders, George wiped the sweat from his forehead. He would be held responsible since this had happened on his watch.

"Mr. Fulton, don't worry. Ms. Lewis will be fine …"

Xander was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense. He started searching for Grace himself.

An hour passed, and he had searched every corner of the mining site.

However, Grace seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

George was also panicking.

"Mr. Fulton, the mining site is so big. We haven’t found her after searching everywhere. Could she have already left?"

Xander didn't answer George. Even though he was completely distraught, he reminded himself to stay calm.
