IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 2 Episode 28

“Three days from now, the Futurelink Corporation will have its grand opening reception. All the top

companies in Pamore are invited, including us.‘

Grace looked at the gold–embossed invitation, her eyes resting on the letters “FL“. Futurelink

Corporation’s actions have recently garnered a lot of attention.

Now it was having its grand opening reception, which was sure to be very lively. Perhaps it could even

use this as a chance to get some new business for the company.

“Okay. Put it on my schedule. I’ll be there on time.”

“Yes, Ms. Lewis.”

Grace took out her phone and called Emily. “Babe, I’ve got to attend a reception three days from now.

Grace raised her eyebrows. “You’ve heard about it too?”

“Yes! I’ve already gotten several orders for the reception. But don’t worry. I’ll save the best we have for

“Thank you, but I want to keep a low profile.”

“Okay, no problem. Leave it to me.”

The next day, Grace received a delivery. Inside, there was a beautiful purple haute couture gown. It

“Gracie, have you received the gown I sent you?”

It finally dawned on Grace. “Aunt Hestia, is this gown from you?”

“What do you think? Do you like it? I specially asked a designer to get it custom–made for you!

Hestia said cagily, “It just goes to show that you and I are attuned to each other’s thoughts. But you

must wear it tomorrow! I’m waiting to see my baby stun everyone!”

Grace had a nagging suspicion that Hestia knew too much.

“How did you know that I would be attending an event tomorrow?”

“I just made a guess.”

Grace was doubtful, but Hestia just laughed. “Alright, I’m just teasing. Remember to wear it

tomorrow!”

With that, she hung up.

Grace looked at the gown with satisfaction. “Alright, you’re the one!”

The grand opening reception of Futurelink Corporation was held at the largest seven–star hotel in

Pamore. The decor was decadent and luxurious.

All the top families and socialites in Pamore, basically anyone who was anyone, were dressed

to the nines to attend the event.

As the time approached, the hotel’s entrance filled up with a long line of expensive cars.
