Chapter 298

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

relationship 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 glanced 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 placed her coffee order, he had replied.

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’re coming back to Everglow City, night?)

No rush. I’ll wait for you

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 relatively

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

commands.

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 melancholy 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 time coming to Everglow City.
