Chapter 97

"Yes. There are issues with the lighting." While I was explaining, Bree had already walked over to the scaffolding where Brandon was working.

"Young man, why aren't you wearing a safety harness? What you're doing is dangerous. Safety always comes first." As the chairman's wife, Bree spotted an issue immediately. Brandon had actually been wearing a safety harness, but he had taken it off when he climbed down earlier. He didn't wear it again as he went up just temporarily.

"Yes, we'll be careful." I then called out to Brandon. "Why did you go up without your safety harness? Come back down now."

Brandon climbed down obediently and admitted. "That was my mistake. I'll be more careful next time and won't do it again."

He looked like a young boy who had made a mistake and was sincerely owning up to it. For some reason, I felt like I had been too harsh on him.

Bree looked at him. "Safety rules are there to protect you. You owe it to yourself to follow it. You can only love others when you love yourself first, don't you think?"
