    There it was. That tone.


    He talked as if he were looking out for his girlfriend


    A smirk crossed Dorothy’s lips as a chuckle escaped her. “Thanks for the concern, boss.


    His silence was deafening.


    If he could blur the lines between work and their personal lives, she could certainly remind him of their


    rtionship status


    Night fell


    Dorothy came back to the hotel, took a shower, video–called her daughter, and then finally opened her


    laptop to work


    Lane had already sent over the new project’s detalls, and she nced over the information. The due


    diligence on this project shouldn’t be too challenging. but they’d need to focus on the partner


    company’s certification


    Usually, in this agro–industrial processing sector, some corners were cut when it came to product


    certification and dealings with the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. But unless it was something too


    ludicrous, it shouldnt cause major problems. Her team had to thoroughly investigate all potential risks


    when conducting their due diligence to avoid any unpleasant surprises after the contract was signed


    Before opening the detailed information, she picked up her phone to order a cup of coffee


    Suddenly, something came to mind, and she quickly opened WhatsApp to search for a conversation


    Hello, be leaving Everglow City next week. Would you have time to pick up the original receipt before I


    leave? Or I could leave it somewhere for you.] She’d already deleted him once, so it was the least she


    could do to help him with the invoice. She felt that it was her duty


    By the time Dorothy had ced her coffee order, he had replied.


    Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Where are you going?


    Dorothy paused. Her fingertips hesitantly hovered over the screen before replying.


    I’m going to Haverbrook City I’m not sure when I’ll be back]


    So, you’reing back to Everglow City, night?)


    Yes, I still have work here. But it might be a while. Do you need the receipt urgently?]


    No rush. I’ll wait for you


    were curt, as if he


    As she looked at the messages, she couldn’t reconcile this person with the middle–aged taxi driver


    who’d bumped into her. His replies w were not a man of many words, yet he responded rtively


    quickly


    If she didn’t know he was a taxi driver, she might have mistaken him for someone else. His responses


    were always full stops, as if he were issuing


    He texted like every extra word cast him money


    Dorothy pulled a face and tapped her forehead


    Why was she thinking of him while texting a driver? She must be going crazy


    She didn’t know if Jeffrey had said something he shouldn’t have to Everett or how Everett would react


    A trace of mncholy flickered in Dorothy’s eyes


    But she quickly hid her emotions. She opened the document and began to pore over it, noting down


    every important point.


    Right now, she didn’t have time to dwell on these things. She had to focus on her work. She had made


    her decision four years ago, so these matters didn’t warrant further time or thought.


    She quickly booked a fight to Haverbrook City and informed her two assistants to directly fly there


    instead of wasting timeing to Everglow City.
