The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 63

The next day, Zane couldn't help but ask Elara if she wanted to ride back to the city with him in his car.

Elara declined, explaining that her company had sent a car for her.

She left with her team in the corporate vehicle.

Feeling a bit deflated, Zane bought a business-class ticket on the high-speed rail and hired a transport company to ship his car back.

Jasper Yale immediately demanded that Zane make good on his promise to have dinner with Seraphina Whitaker.

Zane, buried in documents, didn't look up. "Do I look like I have the time?"

"Boss, are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing the river?"

"Yes."

"You got what you wanted, and now you don't care if the rest of us die?"

"Correct."

"That TV host lives in my building, you know."

"I know. You're hopeless, letting women ruin your ambition. Just wait."

Jasper rolled his eyes. "Aren't you talking about yourself?"

"Get out," Zane muttered.

Upon returning to the city, Elara went straight to the office. Her ankle injury wasn't severe, and thanks to Zane's careful protection the night before, along with prompt medical attention, it was feeling much better today.

She stayed at the company to work overtime, tackling the mountain of delayed tasks.

Staying late with her was Mr. Dixon, the Finance Director.

The project manager had absconded with the funds, but the project itself still existed.

She needed to brainstorm a strategy with the Finance Director to figure out where they could find replacement capital.

Mr. Dixon knew the company's financial health better than anyone.

He looked deeply troubled.

He explained that while there was money in the accounts, it had to be strictly reserved to safely cover hard debt obligations. Any slight disturbance at the top could trigger an avalanche at the bottom.

The two debated in her office for a long time but reached no conclusion. Money wasn't going to fall from the sky.
