IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 2 Episode 79

When Grace returned to the office, she handed over all the relatively unimportant projects to

Luke.

Then, she focused on studying all the related material for the upcoming fashion show.

When night fell, the top floor Amirate Corporation’s office was still brightly lit.

Xander came up to the top floor office with an armful of materials. He could see Grace through the

window. She was so absorbed in her work that she was in her own world. Xander’s gaze

softened.

He knocked on the door, then pushed it open and entered.

The moment he walked in, he saw designs scattered all across the floor. Xander bent down and picked

them up one by one.

Grace was chewing on the end of her pencil, her face scrunched up in a frown.

When she saw Xander, all her defenses came crashing down at once.

“What should I do, Xander? I haven’t got any ideas and can’t draw anything!”

Xander picked up all the designs, arranged them, and then walked toward her. “If you can’t draw

anything, then rest for a while. Don’t push yourself too much.”

Grace pressed her lips together.

“But one day has already gone by. I only have two days left.”

Xander reached out and patted her on the head. Then, he grabbed the pencil she was holding

and took her hand.

“Rest for a while. Come out and take a walk with me.”

Grace was surprised. “What? Where are we going?”

Xander looked mysterious as he pulled her outside. Grace hurried to keep up with him.

The two of them got in the elevator and went down to the basement.

Xander stuffed her into the passenger seat of the car. Grace was still confused. “Xander, where are you

taking me?”

Xander kept her guessing, “You’ll know when we get there.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the car’s engine purred to life, and he drove out.

Grace calmed down bit by bit as she looked at the buildings flashing by outside the window

The car wove through the city and finally came to a quaint–looking street.

Xander found a parking spot and parked the car.

Grace locked around and was startled.

“The cultural center! What did you bring me here for?”

Xander turned off the engine and took out the key. “Let’s go. I’m taking you to find inspiration.”

Grace looked at him skeptically, but she still got out of the car.

The cultural center was full of people walking around at night.

Grace and Xander walked side by side on a paved brick road. From the back, they looked perfectly harmonious.

“Xander, what is that?” Grace grabbed Xander’s arm curiously and pointed at the crowd in the

distance.

Xander looked over and explained. “It’s a puppet show! Do you want to go and have a look?”

Grace had grown up in Frenda since childhood and wasn’t familiar with puppet shows. She found it

very unique as she watched people perform with the puppets behind the screen.

She asked, “What are they doing?”

Xander pointed to the people behind the screen and said, “Look, they’re controlling the puppets behind

the scenes and using pop music to tell a story.

“They’re also using instruments and melodies to accompany the story to help immerse people in it. This

is part of our traditional Kidhnian culture.”

Grace nodded in understanding. “I see. Let’s go and take a look.‘

The two of them walked through the crowd and reached the front row. The people were telling the story

of the famous play, “East Side Story“.

Grace gave it her full attention. Even when it had ended, she still felt like she hadn’t seen enough.

“Xander, this puppet show is so interesting!”
