    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 yboy. 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 sunsses


    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 ufortable,


    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 shed 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 be 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 exined everything in dead at thest 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 idents


    Especially on suchrge 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 ident, it’s just a matter ofpensation. It wont affect the project”


    Dorothy didn’t like this viewpoint


    Yes, money was important, but human life was imeceable


    “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.”
