Shannon?
I quickly got up and said to Jordan and Theo, "I'm sorry, Mr. Grant and Mr.
Fredericks. I'd like to excuse myself for a moment.
Jordan nodded and got up from the chair a s well, leaving the conference room with m e.
Seeing the anxious look on Krayden's face, I asked a little worriedly, "What happened?"
"A base is being built near the orchard.
When the lady went to pick fruits in the orchard, she accidentally fell into the base we dug earlier," Krayden said while hurrying forward.
I was a little puzzled. "If it's a base, then it shouldn't be too deep. You can just help her up. Did she hurt herself somewhere?"
Krayden shook his head. "It's more serious than that. There has been a lack of parking spaces, and using a random plot of land as a parking lot would be a waste, so we decided to build a parking lot under the base."
My heart sank. This meant that the base would have been dug very deep.
"Have they brought her up?" I asked with concern.
Krayden sighed. "I’m not sure about that. The lady was still down there before I arrived. She seemed unconscious and may have been lifted up now, but she probably won't survive this unscathed."
The road near the orchard was more difficult to tread on, so Krayden and I trotted all the way to the site.
