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 constructionsite 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 wordwith Dorothy. “If they die on the job, the company pays out a hefty sum. It’s an amount they may neverearn in a lifetime of hard labor, Our construction site’s compensation rate is much higher than that ofother companies. I’ve even insured the project, so dont feel over it”
sn’t that just your personal perspective?”
It was unimaginable that anyone would want to die.
“There are many people in the world who commit suicide. Are they all a result of my perspective?”
Dorothy struggled to replace a response
Lane chuckled. “I know you’re kind hearted and want every worker to come to work safely happily taketheir pay and return home. But everyone’s situation is different. I’ve done my best for them, Dorothy Ima businessman”
A businessman’s priority is profit.
“I understand”
“So then ”
“But I don’t agree.” Dorothy finished speaking and turned to leave.
Lane quickly stopped het, eager to explain, “See, there have been no casualties on the site, right? Ipromise to assignmore supervisors to the site and replace their safety helmets with new ones.”
“Lane, I hope you’re making these decisions out of genuine concern for your workers, not to impressme
1swear, I dont want any negative publicity either” Lane raised his hand, as if taking an oath.
Dorothy sighed deeply and settled for this compromise
After returning to her office, she sat down and switched on her computer.
A glance at her phone revealed an unread message on WhatsApp.
Morning
was the driver.
If he had added “E‘ at the end, the almost would’ve thought it was Everett messaging her.
Morning, what’s up?]
(Sorry about the car accident. I’ve arranged for some gifts to be sent to you. I hope you’ll accept them
Dorothy raised an eyebrow
The driver seemed quite well–off, How else could be arrange for others to buy gifts on his behalf?
Thats not necessary. The accident wasn’t a big deal, and the car’s been fully repaired. You don’t needto feel bad]
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 I
(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 replaceingcommon interests, discussing shared topics, or simply sending gifts. Out of politeness, the recipientwould generally respond with more conversation
Everett had chosen the simplest and most disici approach
