Chapter 111 I obediently froze in place but ended up clutching Ernest even tighter.

Thump, thump...

The powerful heartbeat echoed in my ears, and that's when I realized I was laying against his chest.

At that moment, fear was the last thing on my mind.

And so, I held him tighter because it seemed like the only way to reassure myself that it wasn'tmoving, but the elevator.

After a while, when the shaking stopped, I somehow forgot to let go until his voice broke the silence, "Got a new colleague, have we?" I blinked, moving away to look down, and was genuinely taken aback.

Apart from being startled, a wave of irritation surged within me, and I impulsively pressed the button to descend the elevator.

Once on the ground, Haley greetedwith her signature, insincere smile, "Ms. Hudson." My mood was far from pleasant as I bluntly asked her, "What are you doing here?" It wasn't that I lacked manners, but her being pregnant and here just felt out of place.

The place wasn't even open to the public yet, with many safety checks pending. If anything were to happen, no one could bear the responsibility.

After all, she was carrying an irreplaceable life within her.

He seemed to be avoiding the call, only answering at the last second, "What's up, Ms. Hudson?" "What's the meaning of sending Haley here?" I asked straight up.

"I sent her to work. Didn't she tell you?" Conrad replied nonchalantly.

Looking at Haley, I challenged Conrad, "Is it appropriate for hen to work here? Who's responsible if something goes wrong?" "Of course, you are," Conrad caughtoff guard.

Before I could respond, he added, "Felicia, you're in charge of the amusement park project. You're no ement N only responsible for the successful completion and operation but also for the safety of all employees. Got it? itz After hearing his words, I realized he was doing this intentionally.

One Dustin was not enough; now he's planted Haley to distractfurther.

Haley's face turned even sourer, and m Conrad finally lost his patience, M ost "Felicia, why must you be so spiteful?" Ashburn
