    Everett rubbed his temples, trying toince himself that it was merely curiosity that had him worried.


    Or maybe he was just concerned about her injuries. After all, she was hurt while working on the project,


    and as the CEO, it was only natural for him to check up on her.


    Yes, that was i


    Dorothy nced at her phone to make sure the driver hadn’t messaged hack before putting it away and


    focusing on the meeting


    She had casually deleted his contact earlier, thinking that they would probably never cross paths again


    after she left Everglow City. But then he sent her another friend request.


    This made Dorothy quite ufortable.


    It was as if she were caught red handed doing something wrong


    She hadn’t thought much about it. She just didn’t like having strangers on her WhatsApp contact list


    and she assumed that the driver wouldn’t need to contact her again.


    “Ms. Sanchez, is there anything else you’d like to add?” Austin suddenly changed the topic.


    Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Dorothy quickly gave him a small smile, then presented the PowerPoint she had stayed upte to


    prepare “At our current construction site. I think there are some potential safety issues that we need to


    pay more attention to. I have already discussed this with the person in charge of the amusement


    facilities, and now we need to focus on the main building. I hope we can increase the frequency of


    facility inspections and strictly enforce the use of hard hats.”


    ‘Absolutely! You’re absolutely night! I was at the construction site yesterday and saw two people not


    weaning hard hats, if something were to happen. who would be held responsible? Who would take the


    me for the negative impact on the project?” Austin immediately agreed. “1 meant to bring this up


    earlier but I forgot. Good thing Ms. Sanchez reminded us.”


    Everything he said was dripping with ttery


    And everyone could hear it.


    But when the boss spoke like that, the employees couldn’t help but nod along. “Understood! Ms.


    Sanchez is looking out for us. We should be grateful”


    Dorothy furrowed her eyebrows. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.


    After the meeting she didn’t leave right away, instead, she asked Austin to stay. “Austin, can I speak


    with you for a moment?”


    “What’s up? Did we miss something earlier?”


    “No.” Dorothy warted until everyone else had left. “For this project, you’re the project manager, and I’m


    just here to assist. I hope you won’t be too concerned about me in the future. I’m worried it might cause


    some unnecessary misunderstandings”


    Austinughed while waving his hand dismissively. “You’re overthinking things. We’re all here to work


    for thepany. Yes, I’m in charge, but Lane handpicked you! We’re supposed to help each other, so


    naturally, I care about your opinions.”


    “That’s not what I meant!”


    understand! I try to be more mindful in front of others. Don’t worry Austin was called away before he


    could finish ha sentence.


    Dorothy could only sigh and massage her temples. She felt a headacheing on


    She didn’t have to think hard to know that Austin wasn’t respecting her. He was respecting his boss,


    Lane.


    But there was no chance of anything happening between her and


    Dorothy, dressed in her high heels, returned to her makeshift office on the construction site. The office


    was rather simple and was mainly used for handling minor tasks.


    On normal days, it was manageable. But on windy days, the dust from the construction site would blow


    over and cover the ss windows, so she couldn’t see the outside. That’s why she usually worked from


    her hotel room.


    It had been a while since she had been in this office.
