In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts Novel novel Chapter 475

"It's still such a pity we missed out on such a promising project. I should have invested in it privately. It would have turned a nice profit," one of the directors said with a sigh.

Samuel smiled. He felt even better about himself now. Fortunately, he had the foresight to do exactly that.

The project's development had already begun. Housing units would be up for sale next month. He would get his capital back very soon.

"Look who's here," someone called out.

Everyone turned and looked to the right.

"If it isn't Ms. Lewis. Let's go have a chat with her," one of the directors suggested. Everyone else agreed. All of them followed his lead.

"Ms. Lewis!"

Grace instinctively stopped in her tracks when she heard someone calling out to her. She turned around and saw the directors walking toward her.

"How may I be of assistance?"

Director Tucker, who was leading the group, snorted and said, "Have you seen the news lately, Ms. Lewis? I think you already know the project on the south side of the city has begun development, right?"

Grace's expression fell. She understood why these men were talking to her.

"You're so concerned about this project, Director Tucker. It's a pity that our company didn't take part in it."

Tucker's temper flared up when she said that. He said angrily, "Our company didn't take part in it because you were so vehemently against it. That's why we missed out on it.

"Ms. Lewis, is this an indication of your inability to lead as the president of this company?"

"That's true, Ms. Lewis. If we had taken part in this project, we would be doing as well as Landon Group."
