Chapter 19
Despite her wooziness, Lianne got her act together following Zane’s question. “Don’t worry, Mr. Atlas. It won’t get in the way of my work.”
Brushing Lianne aside, Zane entered the MPV that would take them to the developed scenic spot.
The chauffeur and Willow were there to pick Zane and his entourage up, so there were five of them in the
car.
Sitting next to Zane, Willow walked the boss through the situation at the development during the car ride. Lianne and Liam sat in the backseat together and were on their laptops, taking minutes of the conversation
Willow made full use of the hour or so ride, so Lianne and Liam took the same amount of time to take down the notes. It was dark out by the time they arrived at the developed area.
Dinner was on the company’s account, but since Lianne did not feel well and had no appetite, she proceeded to check into her hotel room.
The hotel under the Atlas Group was well-equipped with facilities, including oxygen supply in individual
rooms.
What were the chances of a hotel having such resources in the middle of nowhere?
Lianne did not utilize the oxygen supply in case her over-reliance on ventilation would hinder her from working outdoors.
She quickly washed up and changed into her pajamas before slipping under the sheets for a rest. Lianne finally fell asleep when her buzzing phone woke her up.
It was Mr. Cash calling, and he did not sound too happy. “Ms. Simpson, it’s past eight o’clock. Why aren’t you here yet?”
It then occurred to Lianne that she was supposed to meet with the attorney today. Nevertheless, she was in the highland region of Weston, miles away from Rosewood. There was no way she could get back in time. Tm sorry I’ll be busy in the next few days, so I can’t make time to see you.”
Mr. Cash asked, “When can you meet with me? Can you give me a concrete time?”
It was up to Zane to decide the length of stay of the ad-hoc itinerary.
