I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 248

This time, Sheena did not intend for Elijah to go directly home. Instead, they headed together to the Freeman Group’s construction site.

In the car, Sheena explained, “The Freeman Group was previously involved in the Delomora project. Due to Faye’s mismanagement and Bethany’s shoddy work, the construction collapsed unexpectedly. It even affected the newly built structure nearby. Bethany has been withholding payments, causing dissatisfaction among the construction team. If you were in charge, what would you do?”

Elijah pondered momentarily and replied, “Compensate and reassure the workers.”

Sheena had hoped for some groundbreaking solution, but Elijah’s answer fell short. “It’s futile. Sarah initially did that, but the workers still don’t trust the company. The company’s performance has been stale. However, replacing all the workers might upset the entire Delomora project team.”

The car soon arrived at the construction site.

Elijah looked up at the building outside the window and earnestly met Sheena’s gaze, saying, “If you’re willing to trust me this once, you can hand over this project to me. I can handle it.”

Sheena pondered for a moment but did not give her consent. Suddenly, Wendy called again, telling her about an urgent matter on the Angle Group’s side requiring her attention.

Balancing between Angle and the Freeman Group had strained Sheena’s energy. Especially with the Freeman Group facing a downturn, it would take a long time to restore it to its former glory. Moreover, she needed to reclaim the 1.2 billion dollars from Bethany.

Just as Sheena was contemplating, Elijah suddenly stood up, kneeling on one knee in the car.
