Chapter 21
Lianne went ahead and respectfully greeted Zane. “Good morning. Mr. Atlas.”
Zane ate his breakfast with poise without giving her the time of the day.
Since Lianne had seen his callous side, she did not take his response to heart. She stood several meters away from him. “Mr. Atlas, I need to make something clear with you.”
Zane only gave her attention once he was finished with his most important meal of the day. “What is it?”
With her hands falling along her sides, Lianne stood straight and tall. “Mr. Atlas, I only have respect for you as an employee to her boss. I don’t see you in any other way.”
She did not get any idea about him. Zane was no fool. Of course, he was aware of it
Zane found it amusing “Did you think I would be interested in a married woman?”
Lianne would not dare think so. “Don’t tease me, Mr. Atlas I know my place I’m only telling you now because I don’t want people around you to get the wrong idea. It’ll make my job difficult
“Lianne.”
He called her name with his beautiful voice. It sounded as though her name belonged in poetry.
Little did she know, Zane spoke the most ruthless words with his S**y voice, “With that disgusting name of yours, I could never have a thing for you.”
Lianne was rendered speechless.
She had pa**ed his comment about her jinxed name as him being drunk. However, Zane was sober right
ΠΟΥ
What did her name ever do to him?
“Good morning. Mr. Atlas”
Liam and Willow’s timely presence alleviated the tension between them.
Feeling awkward, Willow nodded at Lianne as a greeting
Liam approached Lianne Do you feel better, Lianne 7′′
1 feel fresh and ready to start the day after a good night’s sleep “Lianne smiled and followed Liam to the
buffet
Zane snickered “Ha
The married woman was sensible to keep a distance from him while talking However, she engaged in chatter and laughter with another man anyway
After breakfast, Zane and the group went to host the big shot, who came for an inspection.
Lianne got the jitters since she had never met such a prominent figure
Nevertheless, the butterflies in her stomach disappeared when the big shot sucked up and addressed Zane formally instead

As the project leader Willow led the group for the inspection
The turquoise lake next to the hotel sparked in brillance as the sunlight bounced off its surface
The great view of the snowy mountains was refreshing. It was great to feel alive.
The scenic area was perfect for sightseeing. The hotel rooms offered views of the lake, snowy
mountains, and the boundless sea. On a good day, tourists would be able to witness the beautiful sunrise
and sunset
Willow introduced the scenic destination to Zane, while Liam and Lianne were responsible for taking
notes.
After the basic introduction, the group took a buggy tour
The high-ranking official said to Zane, “Mr. Atlas, it’s a beautiful site, but the place is not accessible. It’s not easy for people to get in and out of the highlands. The focus has always been to provide aid to the poor. Your company has been a huge help in funding the roadworks and development of the tourist destination.”
Zane exchanged pleasantries. “It’s the social responsibility of major corporations to close the wealth gap.”
