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.

“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 it comes 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 it later at the

hotel”

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

To save time, Dorothy accepted 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 plan 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 the company 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 places where she had lived, worked, and studied

She had no idea when she would return next.

Lane flashed 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 accompany you

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