His captivating hazel eyes would be enough to charm any woman.

Add to that his impressive lineage and work ethic, and he would have no trouble finding a girlfriend if he weren't such a playboy.

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 sunglasses.

After taking a deep breath, Dorothy navigated the distance in her heels. "Why so early? | figured | wouldn't see you until noon." "Isn't it customary to make an effort when pursuing someone? | was afraid you'd leave for work without me." With that, he handed her a breakfast bagel that he bought from a nearby deli.

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 uncomfortable, Lane. | liked how things were between us now. | don't want to change it." "But you said you'd give me a chance to prove myself. Isn't this my chance?" "I don't usually eat breakfast. | prefer to wait until lunch." She preferred the breakfast made by a certain someone who would cook for her in the mornings.

"Oh... well, now | know." Lane's eyes flashed 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. "I'll drive myself. See you at the office.” "Ah..." 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 chasing a girl become 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 explained everything in detail at the last 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 accidents.

Especially on such large construction sites, one or two casualties 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 accident, it's just a matter of compensation. It won't affect the project.” Dorothy didn't like this viewpoint.

Yes, money was important, but human life was irreplaceable.

"No. | 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.”
