In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 578 Romance Revealed

Grace took out a post-it from her bag and wrote down a string of numbers. "This is my number. Call me when you get there, and I'll arrange for a staff member to bring you in."

She stuffed it into Shawn's hand briskly.

He was about to speak when Luke rushed in from outside and whispered a few words in Grace's ear. Her expression changed at once.

"Really?"

Luke nodded vigorously. "We have to hurry back to the office."

Grace stood up. "I'm sorry, something urgent has come up. I need to leave."

"Okay."

She and Luke got in the car and sped off. Martha closed the door, came back, and said tentatively, "We rarely have guests here. This lady was very energetic."

"Don't tell anyone that she came here."

Shawn gripped the post-it tightly in his hand, but he didn't throw it into the trash can.

When Grace returned to Amirate Corporation, it was already dark, and the conference room was brightly lit.

She pushed the door open and saw the headlines that had been printed out and stuck all over the wall. It was very impactful.

"Caleb's Romance."

"Caleb Caught Kissing." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Caleb and an Unknown Woman."

There were also photos of Caleb kissing Lydia in a corner of a restaurant. They looked very intimate, and his eyes were full of adoration as he gazed at her. The headline read, "Top Celebrity is Taken!"

The comments below expressed utter shock. "That's Caleb we're talking about! Bombshells always drop out of nowhere."

Caleb had been brought back to Amirate from the rehearsal. He sat there, looking exhausted and resigned.

Ashley had confiscated his phone. She pointed at him. "I'm asking you one more time. Is this true?"

Any gossip about a celebrity was always a crisis from their manager's perspective. This was especially the case for a top celebrity like Caleb, who was known internationally.

Caleb looked impatient. "Can't you tell from the photos?"

Ashley was red with anger. "Who is that woman? As long as you say that it's not true, I can manage this with the PR department!"

Caleb immediately got upset. "She's my girlfriend! You don't need to do anything with PR. I can admit to it!"

"You want to admit it? Do you know how many fangirls you have out there?"

"Who cares?"

"You—"

"Okay." Grace finally spoke up. She gestured at Luke. "Take Ms. Burke somewhere to rest while I talk to Caleb."

Seeing that Grace had returned, Ashley walked over to her angrily. "Ms. Lewis, this isn't a small thing. Caleb is still young and has a bright future ahead of him. It's not worth ruining it over this romance."

Grace nodded. "I know. Go and have some rest."

The door to the conference room closed as Ashley and Luke left. Grace turned the big lights off, leaving only the wall lights. "What do you think, Caleb?"

He was still angry. "Find the reporter who took those pictures, and I'll tear him limb from limb!"

"That's not what I meant. I'm asking you what you think about Lydia."

On the way back, Grace had gotten a call from Lydia, who had been sobbing.

"Gracie, I can't get in touch with Caleb. If you get a chance to see him, please tell him not to be impulsive. It hasn't been easy for him to get to this point, and he mustn't ruin all of that because of me."

"I became famous when I was 17 years old, and now I'm 27 years old. I've been in this industry for ten years, and there have been so many moments when I felt like I was suffocating." Caleb looked at a loss as he leaned on her shoulder.

Grace felt truly sorry for her brother. They weren't related by blood, but they had had the closest relationship out of their siblings since they had been children.

"I know," she said softly.

"Did you know that I've liked Lydia for a long time? I've liked her since before I became famous."
