Chapter 272 Behind-The-Scenes Boss.


Benjamin only said, “You can go over by yourself.”


Geraldine tightly bit her lower lip.


Seeing Benjamin unfazed, she stayed beside him. Soon, their client, Corbin Watson, finally


arrived.


“Sorry for being late, Mr. Hawkins.”


When it came to work, Benjamin was flawless. He extended his hand toward Corbin.


“No problem, Mr. Watson. I’ve heard that you enjoy horseback riding, so | purposely arranged


to have the meeting here, hoping to witness your skills on horseback.”


“You're too kind, Mr. Hawkins. I’ve heard that you also have some experience with horsemanship. Let’s share our stories today.” As they spoke, they walked toward the racecourse.


Geraldine wasn’t interested in horseback riding, so she stayed in the resting area.


“Waiter, get me a glass of juice,” Geraldine said to the waiter behind her, and then sat on the


couch.


She raised her eyes, looking toward the direction of the racecourse. The next moment, her gaze fell on a familiar figure. She almost instinctively jumped up.


Astrong sense of hatred filled her. “Grace? Why is she here?”


Geraldine looked around for Benjamin. Seeing that he was in the opposite direction of where Grace was, her tensed heart gradually relaxed.


However, she narrowed her eyes in thought. Who was the man next to Grace?


“Miss, your juice.” The waiter placed the juice on the side.


Geraldine came back to her senses and called out to the waiter, “Wait.”

Then, she handed a few ten—dollar bills to the waiter. Pointing to Xander, not far away, she asked, “Who’s that man?” Following her gaze, the waiter explained, “That’s our boss, Mr. Fulton.”


“Your boss?” Geraldine was extremely surprised.


Grace was actually dating the boss of the racecourse?


This was shocking news!


“What's your boss‘ name?”

The waiter shook his head. “I’m sorry, Miss. | can’t tell you that.”


Since Geraldine couldn’t get any answers, she let the waiter leave.


However, her gaze never left Grace. After all, the last incident had entirely been a trap Grace had set for her. Geraldine subconsciously touched her cheek.


She had been slapped by Grace once. Now, she had to make Grace pay for it, no matter what.


With this thought, a scheming look appeared on Geraldine’s face.


On the other hand, as Grace ran a few laps freely on the racecourse, she exuded a carefree and confident air.


“Gracie, do you want to take a break?” Xander suggested.


“Sure.” As Grace said that, she stopped and handed the horse over to the staff member. After that, she went to the lounge with Xander.


As soon as they left, a figure quietly sneaked into the stable.


Grace and Xander were completely unaware.


Just as they had sat down in the lounge, Benjamin and Corbin arrived. Benjamin had noticed Grace long ago.


But Corbin took the lead and walked toward Xander. “Mr. Fulton, | didn’t expect to run into you here. Are you here to ride as well?”


Corbin was very attentive and spoke to Xander respectfully, seeming to lower himself before the latter. However, Xander just nodded slightly, remaining expressionless. “Mr. Watson, are you here for horseback riding too?”
