Dorothyed her gaze to him as her brow furrowed slightly
She wasn’t ignorant of the logic he was trying to convey, but the thought of deaths at the construction
site was something she couldn’t bear
And did you know that several of the workers are willing to die on site?”
Dorothy was taken aback. She found such a statement absurd
Lane shrugged with a small smile. He gestured for Austin to leave, indicating that he wanted a word
with Dorothy. “If they die on the job, the company pays out a hefty sum. It’s an amount they may never

Lane chuckled. “I know you’re kind hearted and want every worker to come to work safely happily take

A glance at her phone revealed an unread message on WhatsApp.

No sooner had she replied to his message than an unknown number called her
After picking up, in turned out to be from a local delivery service.
Ms. Sanchez, right? Someone’s sent some items for you. Where should I deliver them?”
With no other choice, Dorothy nelayed her location to the delivery person.
After hanging up, she messaged the driver. [You’re too kind Now I’m the one feeling awkward |
(It’s my apology Thope you’ll accept it]
Meanwhile, in the office of the president of Lopez Corporation.
Everett looked at the day’s conversations on his phone as a subtle unde played on his lips.
Heid asked Kevin for advice on how to keep a conversation going, and Kevin suggested finding
