His peach blossom eyes were enough to captivate many women. Coupled with his distinguished family background and work capability, if he weren’t such a playboy, he shouldn’t have any trouble finding a girlfriend. Rosalind just thought he was bored and teasing her for fun. Men, the less you pay attention to them, the more they persist.
“Over here!” Lion, spotting her silhouette, took off his sunglasses and waved at her. Rosalind sighed deeply and walked towards him in her high heels, “Getting up this early, I thought I wouldn’t see you until noon.”
“Shouldn’t I be prompt if I’m pursuing someone? I was worried you’d drive to work on your own if I was any later.” While saying this, Lion handed over the breakfast he was holding. He seemed genuinely serious about pursuing her.
Rosalind didn’t accept it, keeping some distance between them, “This makes me uncomfortable, Lion. I liked the way we interacted before; I don’t want to change that.”
“But you also said you’d give me a chance to consider me; shouldn’t I try to show my best side?” Lion argued.
“I don’t like breakfast sold outside, so I skip breakfast.” She preferred breakfast made by someone… who would personally cook in the morning.
“Oh… I see!” A hint of disappointment flashed in Lion’s eyes, but he still smiled, “Don’t let it go to waste, I’ll give it to Mr. Wong later. Let’s get in the car.”
Rosalind pointed to the car parked nearby, “I’ll drive myself. See you at the office later.”
“Ah-” She didn’t give Lion any chance to negotiate and went straight back to her car, started it, and drove off. Lion, caught off guard, could only sigh.
“When did girls become so hard to chase!” In the past, he was… often pursued with great intention by others, and he disregarded them. Now the tables had turned, and it was his turn to taste this experience.
Rosalind arrived at the office, sorted out some documents, and went to meet with Mr. Wong. She had already detailed the important points at the last meeting, and now it was about supervision, which was also crucial.
“For the construction supervision, send more experienced people from the company if possible. They have the skills and experience,” Rosalind expressed her concern that accidents could tarnish the project’s reputation. Especially on large construction sites, honestly, one or two injuries or deaths were normal, but Rosalind wanted to minimize risks and avoid casualties as much as possible.
Mr. Wong sighed, spreading his hands helplessly, “You’re not often on-site; you don’t understand. Sometimes it’s not that the workers want to gamble with their lives, but there are time constraints on the projects. It’s unrealistic to strive for perfection in everything.”
“What could be more important than human life?”
“All we can do is remind the workers to be careful and wear hard hats; the rest is up to them to value their lives! Miss Ruell, don’t worry, even if an accident happens, it’s just a matter of compensating money, and once settled, it won’t affect the project.”
Rosalind disliked this philosophy. Yes, money is important, but human lives can never be replaced!
“No, I think by taking preventive measures in advance, we can prevent this. Let’s extend the project timeline.”
Mr. Wong was about to respond when suddenly Lion, who appeared out of nowhere, interjected, “Extending the timeline means pushing back all schedules. This project isn’t just our company’s; there are investors and local government support involved, it’s not that easy.”
