FreeNovel"Mr. Lachlan..." Grape's eyes lit up, and she quickly wriggled free from Josie's embrace, running towards Lachlan.
Josie gazed at the extravagant breakfast spread before her, feeling a sense of admiration welling up within her. "Whoever marries you in the future," she mused, "will surely be blessed." Lachlan gently embraced Grape, his gaze softening as he looked at Josie. "Then, would you like to have this good fortune?" he asked.
The words were so straightforward that Josie couldn't help but let out a mournful sigh. "Boss, this joke really isn't funny at all." Lachlan knew that he couldn't push Josie too hard. So, he simply turned his head towards Grape and said, "Grape, would you like forto play with you today?" Grape's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes." After breakfast, Lachlan drove Josie to the venue of the Golden Key Awards semi-finals. Once Josie got out of the car, she went straight into the venue.

"Good morning, Alice!" "Alice, you're here." With a smile on her face, Josie greeted her colleagues.
Right at that moment, Lily arrived. When she saw Josie, Lily's chin instinctively lifted, and she couldn't help but let a smug smile creep onto her lips.
The two individuals inherently had incompatible auras. Josie paid her no mind, walking straight into the elevator. Little did she know that in the next moment, Lily had followed her in.
As the elevator doors closed, Lily couldn't help but say, "Alice, you cin so early today. You're really dedicated." Josie's brows were slightly arched. She had no intention of engaging with Lily, but since the latter took the initiative to approach, she had no choice but to say, "Isn't it the sfor you, Ms. Lily? When we all face our work, we do so with the best attitude, don't we?" Lily scoffed coldly.
"Alice, we're not the same... You really need to cherish this opportunity. Who knows? This might be your last chance to participate in such a large-scale event." Josie clearly sensed that there was more to Lily's words than met the eye.
Just as she was about to say something, the elevator had already arrived. Lily was the first to step out. Josie's gaze deepened as she watched her retreating figure. For sreason, her left eyelid was twitching quite intensely.
Meanwhile, Dexter was about to step out to attend the semi-finals of the Golden Key Awards. Just then, his phone in his pocket unexpectedly rang. "Mr. Russell, there's news from Ms. Warren's father..." Dexter's steps faltered beneath him.

Our team is currently working on a rescue plan." "No matter what, his safety must be ensured first and foremost. As for the benefits, we can afford to make as many concessions as possible..." "Yes, Mr. Russell." After hanging up the phone, Dexter quickened his steps involuntarily. He thought to himself, if Josie knew this news, she would probably be happy.
The semi-final venue was even more bustling than during the preliminary rounds. The majority of those present were leading figures in the industry, invited media, and sarchitectural design enthusiasts.
Josie sat on the panel of judges, exuding confidence in every gesture and movement.
"Alice, | heard that the contestant who made it to the semi-finals at the last minute, a guy named Dylan, was recommended by you?" a colleague suddenly asked from the side.
Josie glanced sideways, not recognizing the contestant Dylan. As a result, she inquired, "Dylan? What has he done?" Her colleague was taken aback. "Seriously, Alice? Don't you recall the nof the contestant? The one who designed the Saint Dezburg Bridge. Weren't you the one who highly praised his work?"
