In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 624 Wish Your Business to Flourish

Downstairs, there was a constant flow of influential figures.

"He must have some connections to open a teahouse in this location. It's a new opening. Surely people will come to show their support."

Grace skillfully cleaned the tea set and brewed the tea leaves.

"Is that so? But Benjamin is also here."

Hearing that, Grace frowned. When she glanced to the side, she indeed saw Benjamin entering the adjacent private room. He usually didn't like tea, but he actually came. Smiling, Xander took a seat.

"I'm getting more and more curious about the kind of person your savior, Mr. Griffin, is."

What kind of person? He was a person who needed to wear a mask year-round so as to not reveal his true identity.

When Shawn received the news, he had just finished a social engagement.

Spencer reported to him, "A private room was reserved a month ago.

"I didn't know it was Mr. Hawkins. Since he's here, he probably already knows your identity."

Shawn's eyes above the mask revealed his change of emotion. "Just let him drink. I don't want to see him."

The day he saved Grace, he was prepared for exposure.

"Ms. Lewis is here, too, just next door to Mr. Hawkins. She says she wants to see you."

Shawn frowned.

When the first pot of tea was ready, Grace poured a cup for Xander. "I promised to make you tea last time. I didn't expect it to happen so soon." Xander lowered his gaze and took a sip. "It's delicious."

"By the way, Pamore is such a big place. Where do you think Jessica could be hiding?"

"Have you heard of hiding in plain sight?"

"You mean she might be right under our nose?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Grace opened it, revealing Shawn. "Mr. Griffin, congratulations on the reopening."

Her figure blocked the view of Xander behind her. Shawn smiled. "Just call me Shawn. My men said you have a gift for me."

Grace nodded and handed over the gift. "A purple clay tea set customized for you."

Shawn glanced at it and knew that

this tea set was surely worth several hundred thousand. He pursed his lips and refused. "It's too expensive. I can't accept it."

Yet, Grace directly stuffed it into his hands and said adorably, "It's not for the teahouse. It's for you. Use it when you entertain guests."

Shawn smiled wryly. "You've already given me something last time, and I've also gone to the gala.

"You gave me a good seat. That's already enough. There's no need to buy such an expensive gift."

"How can it be the same? That was a thank-you gift. This is to celebrate your reopening and a wish for. your business to flourish. It has ao different meaning."

Her eloquence left Shawn with no choice. "Ms-"

"Please accept it, Mr. Griffin. It's just a little token of appreciation from Grace." A male voice suddenly came from behind her.

Shawn was stunned. When Grace turned sideways, Xander, who was sitting on the side, was finally seen.

The two men saw each other face-to-face.

Their vibe was completely different Shawn was calm and steady, white Xander was more outwardly

expressive, with a pair of eyes full of thoughts.

The two didn't speak for a moment. Grace hurriedly introduced, "Mr. Griffin, take a seat. This is my boyfriend, Xander Fulton."

The word "boyfriend" caused Shawn's pupils to shrink. He pressed his lips into a line before finally sitting down.

"Thank you both for coming."

Xander poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Shawn.

"Let's take this tea for wine. Thank you for saving Grace. If you need help in the future, you can replace me at Futurelink Corporation."

The tea leaves floated in the water. Shawn didn't touch the cup. "I can't drink. I appreciate it, but I'll pass this time."

He didn't drink. On the contrary, Xander blew on the rim of the cup and took a sip.

"Mr. Griffin, you don't drink tea, yet you opened a teahouse. That's quite special."
