The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 296

Everett rubbed his temples, trying to convince himself that it was merely curiosity that had him worried.

Or maybe he was just concerned about her injuries. After all, she was hurt while working on the project, and as the CEO, it was only natural for him to check up on her.

Yes, that was it.

...

Dorothy glanced at her phone to make sure the driver hadn't messaged back before putting it away and focusing on the meeting.

She had casually deleted his contact earlier, thinking that they would probably never cross paths again after she left Everglow City. But then he sent her another friend request.

This made Dorothy quite uncomfortable.

It was as if she were caught red-handed doing something wrong.

She hadn't thought much about it. She just didn't like having strangers on her WhatsApp contact list, and she assumed that the driver wouldn't need to contact her again.

"Ms. Sanchez, is there anything else you'd like to add?" Austin suddenly changed the topic.

Dorothy quickly gave him a small smile, then presented the PowerPoint she had stayed up late to prepare. "At our current construction site, I think there are some potential safety issues that we need to pay more attention to. I have already discussed this with the person in charge of the amusement facilities, and now we need to focus on the main building. I hope we can increase the frequency of facility inspections and strictly enforce the use of hard hats."

"Absolutely! You're absolutely right! I was at the construction site yesterday and saw two people not wearing hard hats. If something were to happen, who would be held responsible? Who would take the blame for the negative impact on the project?" Austin immediately agreed. "I meant to bring this up earlier, but I forgot. Good thing Ms. Sanchez reminded us."

Everything he said was dripping with flattery.

And everyone could hear it.
