NovelApp"Con in."
Brandon's deep voice wafted out from his office.
Kent pushed the door open and entered. "Mr. Crawley, we've hooked up with a new construction crew for the Zenithan-style resort
project.”
As he spoke, Kent handed over the project documents to Brandon.
Brandon took a glance at the papers. He was familiar with the construction team. They had worked with the Starlight Group several
times before and were a solid bunch.
The team had just wrapped up a shopping mall project for the Starlight Group in Zion City a couple of days ago. Timing-wise, it did
seem to fit the bill.
"No issues with the team," Brandon said, snapping the folder shut and handing it back to Kent. "Let's roll with this crew; they've
just finished a gig for the Starlight Group in Zion City."
Kent nodded, "Sounds good."
"Do we stick to the original construction plan?" Kent asked. "Tomas mentioned that the geomancer picked an auspicious tfor
the groundbreaking - around 1 a.m. tomorrow night. Everything's all set, and Simon's on board with kicking off then."
Brandon's brows furrowed slightly. "1 a.m. tomorrow night?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen he looked up at Kent. "Why the heck do we need to start at midnight? Can't we work during the day?"
Kent replied, "It's mainly because the geomancer said it's an auspicious time."
"The groundbreaking ceremony already had its auspicious moment picked out. We can't be cherry-picking lucky days for every
single building's construction," Brandon dismissed the idea straightaway. "We're not in a rush for those few hours. Let's start in the
daytime."
"Alright then."
Kent acknowledged and said his goodbyes before stepping out. He then phoned Tomas to relay Brandon's decision.
Sophia also got the nod about the construction starting the morning after next, in the afternoon.
Augus cto fill her in.
The guy seemed pretty standard.
He didn't bring up the change of construction crew again, nor did he mention the switch in start time. He just reported the situation
to Sophia quite by the book, and then checked when she would be heading over.
Because of the issues with the column casting, Sophia had promised Tomas during her last visit that she would be on-site to check
things out on the day of the pour.
The construction was set to start at 8 a.m. the day after next, which she wouldn't be able to make it to in time.
Plus, Sophia needed to head over earlier to inspect the preparations.
"Let's go over tomorrow afternoon," Sophia said.
"Okay. I'll go book the tickets now," Augus said.
Sophia nodded, "Great."
Watching Augus leave the office, she picked up the phone and called Kent to double-check the exact construction time, confirming
that the news matched up with Augus's update.
Sophia felt a bit relieved but her schedule suddenly got tight.
Tonight, she had to work late to wrap things up, meaning her DIY necklace project had to be put on hold.
When she got hafter working overtime, it was already past 10 p.m.
Theresa wasn't asleep yet. She was curled up in Brandon's arms on the bed, listening intently as he read her a story.
Upon seeing Sophia cin, Theresa looked up, sweetly called out "Mommy," and then quickly got sucked back into the story
Brandon hadn't finished.
These days, Brandon was taking care of her daily routine, and Theresa was totally used to it, even clingy with Brandon.
Correspondingly, she seemed to rely less on Sophia.
As long as Brandon was around, she even managed without her mom.
Sophia wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or a bit sad.
She sat down at the edge of the bed and softly asked Theresa, "Aren't you sleepy yet?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She's been waiting up for you and wouldn't go to bed," Brandon said, looking up at her, "Why are you working so late these days?
Got a lot on your plate?"
Sophia shook her head slightly, "Not really. Mainly, I've got to go on a short trip tomorrow."
Brandon's brow furrowed slightly. "Something to do with the Zenithan-style resort project? Why do you need to go?"
"lI want to see for myself why the casting of the beams and columns has been problematic," Sophia explained, turning her attention
to Theresa, "Theresa, | have to go on a business trip tomorrow. Would you be okay staying at hwith daddy?"
Theresa's big eyes looked a bit confused and pleading. "Can | go on the business trip with mommy and daddy?"
