Those who mingle in the business world, each one is a slick operator.
Mia Foster put on a smile that was not quite a smile, watching Felix Shaw, she asked, "What do you think I uncovered? Or have you been sneaking off to meet your ex-lover behind my back?"
"Sigh," Felix Shaw turned back to look at the road ahead, feigning disappointment with a sigh, and patted the hand he held with Mia Foster’s on the steering wheel, "Now that you’re watching me so closely and I’m so busy, when would I have time to go find other women?"
Felix Shaw’s sigh was also his true feelings. The resort had started construction, and Elizabeth White was on a shoot out of town. He really had no time to visit the set, and besides, it seemed there were new problems with his father.
"That’s more like it." Mia Foster said with a proud smile, pulling back her hand that was under Felix’s, and sat quietly in the passenger seat.
Arriving at the construction site, both of them put on work clothes and safety helmets. Mia Foster followed closely beside Felix Shaw as they walked around the site.
The project had started, and the foundation had been laid. At this moment, the framework was being built, with several tower cranes lifting formwork and steel frames into place.
Mia Foster had come from the company, wearing high heels. Although Felix Shaw walked with stops and starts, discussing everything with the engineers on site, it was still a construction site after all. The ground was covered with loose soil, and her thin high heels sank into the dirt, not to mention the dust filling her shoes, each step was very difficult.
In front of a construction area, Felix Shaw reviewed the newly arrived building materials and after checking them, headed towards another site.
While Felix Shaw was inspecting materials, Mia Foster stood by waiting. Seeing Felix turn to walk ahead, she hurriedly stepped forward to follow, only to cry out "Aiya" and nearly stumble a few steps later.
Felix Shaw turned his head to look, "What happened?"
Mia Foster...
Stood there with one bare foot on top of the other, her face expressing embarrassment.
She had been so focused on following Felix that she hadn’t paid attention to the ground, so... her high heel had sunk into the earth, and she had nearly taken a tumble.
Seeing Mia Foster with one foot bare, of course, also seeing her high heel peacefully lying in the dirt behind her, Felix Shaw laughed and said, "I’m sorry, that was my oversight." Then he quickly walked back, picked up the high heel and knelt down to grasp Mia Foster’s ankle.
Mia Foster looked even more embarrassed, the engineer was still waiting there, watching them with amusement. She quietly tugged at Felix Shaw’s work clothes and whispered, "Let me do it."
"There you go." Felix Shaw had already done up her shoe’s zipper and when getting up even inspected the high heel he had just put on her. His handsome face showed no signs of embarrassment, he dusted off his hands, looked again at the muddy road of the construction site, then turned back around.
"Come on, I’ll carry you over; this stretch is muddy."
"No need, oh..." Mia Foster began to refuse, but her body was already lifted off the ground, instinctively wrapping her arms around Felix Shaw’s neck.
In their relationship up to this point, this was the first time Felix Shaw had carried her, and it was in front of his own staff.
"Felix, put me down, I can walk by myself." Seeing the engineer still smiling as he followed beside them, Mia Foster felt uneasy. Besides, many workers were busy shouting a warning, "Why don’t you continue working, and I’ll wait over there."
"Let’s go, it’s nearly noon. We should head back too."
