When fate plays its hand

“So, that’s about it,” Miranda ended her story.

Sam clicked his tongue and narrowed his eyes. There was a dangerous glint in his gaze. “This Joseph guy really doesn’t learn, does he…”

Miranda raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“Nothing. So, how’s the lab construction going?”

She pressed her lips together at the question.

Sam continued, “Having some trouble? Tell me, maybe there’s something I can help with.”

Miranda had been waiting for those words. “Yes!” Absolutely yes!

Two minutes later, Sam asked, “So, your main issue is a lack of manpower? You want to borrow workers from me? And just regular construction workers?”

Miranda replied earnestly, “Is that a problem?”

Sam shook his head. “Not at all.”

“Then what was with that look just now?”

Sam chuckled. “It’s like you’re using a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito–how do you think the sledgehammer would feel about that?”

Miranda was baffled by the explanation.

“So, workers, right? Would 30 be enough? Or… maybe 40?”

Miranda and Jack exchanged a look. This was truly the world of the rich.

Especially Jack, whose eyes shone as he gulped, retracting his earlier comment about Sam being suspicious. Some of these “suspicious characters‘ weren’t just bosses–they could casually offer up. dozens of workers!

This guy was the real deal.

After some thought, Sam finally decided, “Let me just give you two full crews.”

Jack was speechless, he felt like he’d found a savior.

Sam then asked, “Any issues with that?”

Both Suttons shook their heads vigorously. “No issues at all!”

That afternoon, Sam offered to drive Miranda home.

Jack smiled politely. “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble? It’s pretty easy to hail a cab here…”

By then, Sam had shed his work gear, looking every inch the corporate elite. And once he stood next to his red Ferrari, he said, “No trouble at all; it’s on my way.”

The car and his entire appearance simply radiated wealth.

Jack watched the Ferrari pull away, muttering to himself, “What suspicious character? That’s clearly a golden catch.”

Still, as her cousin, he took out his phone and sent Miranda a message. “Stay safe, and let me know when you’re home.”

Miranda put her phone away, glancing sideways at Sam in the driver’s seat.

Sam noticed this and said, “You put your phone down and immediately look at me–is it something to do with me?”

Miranda shook her head. “It’s nothing….

Even Jack, who’d only just met Sam, could sense his intentions, even reminding her to stay safe. This was something.

Oblivious to her wandering thoughts, Sam continued, “The two crews can start tomorrow, but their contract is with my company, so officially, my team needs to assign them the work.

“Subcontracting or transferring the contract would be a breach of terms, so to avoid that, the work be assigned through me.

“It’s just procedural; I’ve gotten Jack’s number, so he’ll send me the weekly schedule. I’ll pass it on to the

crews.

“Additionally, those crews will report their progress to me, and I’ll forward it to Jack. In other words, from now on, I’ll also be involved in your lab constructions look forward to working with you, Ms. Miranda Sutton.”

After such a detailed explanation, Miranda couldn’t help but smile. “Seems like those small

e small tasks could be handled by the crew leaders, don’t you think? Do you really need to personally step in?”

“Anything involving you isn’t a small task.”
