NovelEnglish"It's still such a pity we missed out on such a promising project. | 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.

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 | be of assistance?" Director Tucker, who was leading the group, snorted and said, "Have you seen the news lately, Ms. Lewis? | 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." "Look at the emerging industry you talked about. There aren't any signs of improvement at all. Caleb's the only noteworthy artist we have in the talent department.” "We've already told you that our company isn't adept at entering new industries. We should have stuck to entering the real estate industry. We would have made a profit long ago." The group of men kept talking, one after the other. Their tones were very harsh.
Samuel's eyes glowed in delight when he heard them. "Alright, everyone, stop picking on Ms. Lewis. Everyone makes mistakes.

"We still need to show Ms. Lewis srespect. It's okay, Ms. Lewis, you still have ..." Samuel raised four of his fingers and wagged them before Grace's face.
"You have four more months! You should try harder. Don't make a fool out of yourself." Grace remained emotionless. She was completely unaffected by their words.
Before she could speak, a man spoke up from a short distance away. "Gentlemen, | have a question for you all that I'm wondering if I should ask." Xander showed up out of nowhere. But his appearance made Grace feel at ease, and her anxiety faded away.
"Are you ... Mr. Fulton from Futurelink Corporation?" "Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Fulton." "What question do you have, Mr. Fulton? We'll do our best to answer it." "That's right, Mr. Fulton. Ask away. We're all ears." Xander elegantly walked toward Grace. He faced the group of men with a spirited gaze.
