    Chapter 297


    Dorothy was startled when she opened the door to her office. She found an extra desk that wasrl there


    before.


    An office deck?


    Was someone supposed to share this space with her? No one had mentioned it


    Just as Dorothy was about to turn around and ask Austin, she saw Lane striding towards her with a


    spring in his step.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “Meeting’s over?”


    “Mmm–hmm Dorothy couldn’t avoid him now, so she just nodded with a smile


    Lane dangled a takeout box in front of her. Hey, I drove for an hour to get this for you Have you eater


    yet? This food is a specialty in Everglow City” I’m okay. I grab something back at the hotel once I frish


    up here. I’m not hungry right now.”


    “You’re still on quard even when ites to food? Lane wirked as he feigned burt on his handsome


    face “Are you afraid I’ve added something to it? Here, take the first bite”


    Dorallye a cornered duck and had no choice but to wave her hand in embarrassment. “No, I’m really


    not hungry. I take it and eat itter at the


    hotel”


    She knew if she didnt ept it, Lane would keep talking and talking.


    To save time, Dorothy epted it with a smile


    That’s better “With that, Lane walked straight into Deralty’s office and sat behind the new desk. From


    now on be working here too. Austin mentioned that there are some contracts that need signing. It’s not


    convenient to take them back to the hotel, so I just sign them here! Dorothy was speechless.


    Lane was sharing an office with her?!


    Wait, why would someone of Lane’s standing need anctice in a subsidiary project like this?


    His intentions were as clear as day


    “By the way, you’re heading to Haverbrook City next week for a project


    Without waiting for her protest, Lane dropped another bombshell


    Dorothy was stunned 1 n to leave the country after this project. I’m not taking on the next project


    “Even if you’re going abroad, money still needs to be made, right? Lane raised an eyebrow and spread


    his hands. 1 really cant help it. I can’t find anyone in thepany who I believe can satisfy me with


    their due diligence. You’re the only person who can do it. So, for this project, you just need to head


    over to Havelock Cty, do some due diligence, write a report for me, and that’s it add your name to the


    project”


    if this were before, Dorothy would definitely agree


    Having her name on another project would bring many benefits


    But…


    1 don’t want to go to Havenbrook City”


    “Do you have some bad memories there?” Lane knew she was from Haverbrook City, which was why


    he sent her there. But her response made him guess the reason. In that case, you can.”


    “Never mind, I go. Ill bring my two assistants. Dorothy suddenly changed her mind. “Tim familiar with


    Havenbrook City, and it’s just due diligence anyway Send me the details of the project”


    She felt suffocated by the recent events in Everglow Ct, Maybe a change of scenery would help. Also,


    the conditions Lane offered were too good to refuse. Who didn’t like money?


    Another reason was that she thought she should retum to Haverbrook City before leaving the country.


    To see the ces where she had lived, worked, and studied


    She had no idea when she would return next.


    Lane shed her an OK sign. His narrow and bright almond–shaped eyes were showering Dorothy with


    affection. “I have to meet with some eklers in the family for the next few days, so I can’t apany you


    to Havenbrook City Be careful and call me right away if anything happens, okay?”
