Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 582

“…So, that's pretty much it.”

“Tsk,” Corley narrowed his eyes, his tone laced with a hint of danger, “This Babur guy never learns…”

Roseanne: “What?”

“Nothing. How’s the lab coming along?”

She pursed her lips lightly.

Corley: “Running into trouble? Spill it, maybe there’s something I can do to help.”

That’s exactly what Roseanne was hoping to hear.

“Yes!”

There had to be!

Absolutely!

Two minutes later—

“…So, your trouble is that you’re short-staffed? Looking to borrow some of my guys?” And we’re talking about regular construction workers?

Roseanne straightened up: “Is that a problem?”

Corley shook his head: “No problem at all.”

“Then your expression just now…”

Corley: “Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, what do you think the sledgehammer would feel like?”

Roseanne: “…”

“You need people, right? Would 30 be enough? Or… 40?”

Roseanne and Halley exchanged glances.

Is this what it’s like in the world of the ultra-rich?

Especially Halley, his eyes gleamed, practically drooling.

He took back what he said about “jerks.”

Some “jerks” aren’t just CEOs but can also casually offer up dozens of workers!

This was seriously impressive.

Roseanne put away her phone, unable to help herself from glancing at the man in the driver’s seat.

Corley: “Why look at me the moment you put down your phone? Is it about me?”

Roseanne shook her head: “It’s nothing…”

Even Halley, upon their first meeting, sensed his intentions and reminded her to be cautious.

This…

Corley didn’t notice her distraction, simply saying: “The two construction crews will be on site from tomorrow. Now, they’re officially contracted with my company for the year, so by protocol, it’s my people who need to assign them tasks.”

“Subcontracting or reassigning them would breach the contract, so to circumvent that, these two crews need to be directed by me.”

“It’s really just a formality. I’ve added Halley on WhatsApp, he’ll send me the weekly task lists in advance, and I’ll pass them onto the crews.”

“Also, the progress reports from these crews will come to me, and I’ll relay them to Halley. Understand? So, I’ll be involved in your lab construction too.”

“Pleased to be working with you, Miss Roseanne.”

After his explanation, Roseanne couldn’t help but smile: “All these details seem like something a crew leader could handle. Does Mr. Sullivan, a big boss like yourself, really need to get involved personally?”

“Anything related to you is no small matter.”
