Chapter 301

His captivating hazel eyes would be en

enough to charm any woman.

Add to that his impressive lineage and work ethic, and he would have no trouble finding a gend if he

weren’t such a playboy. Dorothy dismissed him as a man with too much time on his hands who was

just looking to amuse himself.

For men, the more you ignore them, the more they try to get your attention.

“Over here” Lane spotted her and waved as he removed his sunglasses

After taking a deep breath, Dorothy navigated the distance in her heels. Why so early? I figured I

wouldn’t see you until noon”

“sn’t it customary to make an effort when pursuing someone? I was afraid you leave for work without

me.”

With that, he handed her a breakfast bagel that he bought from a nearby dek

His actions made it seem as if he were genuinely interested in her.

Dorothy didn’t take it and kept a healthy distance between them. “You’re making me uncomfortable,

Lane. I liked how things were between us now. I don’t want to change it”

“But you said you’d give me a chance to prove myself isn’t this my chance?”

” don’t usually eat breakfast. I prefer to wait until lunch.”

She preferred the breakfast made by a certam someone who would cook for her in the mornings.

“Oh, well, now I know.” Lane’s eyes flashed with disappointment, but he kept smiling. Let’s not waste it.

I’ll give it to Austin Let’s get going”

Dorothy pointed to her car parked nearby. TEdrive myself. See you at the office

Wh

She didn’t give Lane a chance to negotiate. Instead, she returned to her car and drove off

Caught off guard, Lane could only sigh.

When did closing a gul become so difficult?”

In the past, he was the one being pursued, and he couldn’t care less. Now, the tables had turned.

It was about time he got a taste of his own medicine

Upon arriving at the office, Dorothy gathered her files and headed to meet Austin

She had already explained everything in dead at the last meeting, now she just had to supervise. But

this was also important.

“Send more people to the construction site, preferably experienced ones. They have the skills and

experience Dorothy was worried about the project getting tainted by any accidents

Especially on such large construction sites, one or two casuales were, sadly, the norm. But Dorothy

wanted to minimize any risks as much as possible. Austin sighed and threw his hands up in

resignation, “You’re not often on site, so you don’t know. Sometimes it’s not the workers who want to

risk their lives, but there’s a timeline to respect. It’s unrealistic to expect everything to be perfect.”

“Is there anything more important than a human life?”

“All we can do is remind the workers to be careful and wear their hard hats. The rest is up to them. Ms.

Sanchez, even if there is an accident, it’s just a matter of compensation. It wont affect the project”

Dorothy didn’t like this viewpoint

Yes, money was important, but human life was imeplaceable

“No I think we can prevent this if we take precautions in advance. Let’s extend the deadline”

Austin was about to respond when Lane suddenly appeared and interjected. “Extending the deadline

means pushing everything back. This project isn’t just ours. There are investors and local government

support. It’s not that simple.”
