Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 566

"Seriously, Anne, why are you asking all these questions?"

Roseanne's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Because, my dear brother, I've got a project that's right up your alley. Are you in?!"

Halley was momentarily stunned, his eyes wide with surprise.

"...What kind of project?"

"A smart lab. But there's a catch - you'll need to handle the construction part as well."

Yes, Roseanne was not looking for just any laboratory; she wanted a state-of-the-art, fully automated lab!

The meal was rushed, with both of them scarfing down their food.

After hearing Roseanne's requirements, Halley couldn't wait to leave and start working on a proposal for the project.

As soon as he left, Roseanne immediately hit up a group call with her two other "partners in crime," Mamie and Scales. Naturally, they were all in.

It seemed there was no better plan than this.

That night, Roseanne went home and drafted a more detailed list of requirements to send to Halley's email.

She thought she might have to wait a few days for a response, but to her surprise, Halley called first thing the next morning.

"Anne, no, Boss Cole, I'm all in on this project! From this moment, you're my top priority!"

Roseanne couldn't help but burst into laughter at his enthusiasm. "Bro, you're overdoing it... really."

"But it's true! We've got to keep it professional. If there's anything you're not happy with, just let me know. Forget the brother-sister thing; I'm at your service, your loyal contractor."

Roseanne laughed even harder but got his point - business is business, with no room for personal feelings.

"Bro, you didn't even ask about the budget or negotiate the price. You sure you're okay with this? Don't want to end up at a loss?"

Why did he have to be so straightforward?

Halley's response was light-hearted. "No worries."

"Why's that?"

"First, I know you wouldn't let me down. And second, even if it doesn't turn a profit, helping you out and keeping my business running is worth it."
