The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 905

"Director, is it possible to assign someone else?" Danielle tried to reason. "I have other projects to manage, and besides…"

"Danielle, this directive comes from the top, and the institute has considered it carefully," the Director interrupted. "You are the lead technical expert on this project. You're the only one who can oversee the integration and ensure a smooth rollout. Harold's team has also specifically requested to work with you. I need you to put in the extra time and stay a couple more days."

Danielle stared at the project report on her screen, feeling a wave of helplessness. With the Director putting it that way, she knew further refusal was pointless. It was an order from above, and she couldn't defy it.

"Alright, I understand," she said quietly. "I'll get in touch with Harold as soon as possible to move the project forward."

After hanging up, Danielle leaned back in her chair and sighed softly. She couldn't believe she was caught in such a predicament, forced to navigate Alexander's confusing behavior while also working with the inscrutable Harold Chapman.

The next morning, a message from Harold arrived, requesting a meeting in a conference room at Vanguard Technologies. Danielle gathered her materials and arrived promptly.

Harold was already waiting for her. As she entered, a knowing smile touched his lips. "Chief Engineer Crawford, we meet again. I tried to invite you to dinner, but you were too busy. It seems work is the only way to get your attention."

Danielle ignored his playful jab, placing her files on the conference table. Her tone was all business. "Mr. Chapman, let's get straight to the project. I have several proposals for the drone technology's field application that I'd like to discuss."

Seeing her serious demeanor, Harold dropped the lighthearted act and picked up the files, reading them intently. "I've already reviewed the data from the forest test. It was a complete success, even better than anticipated," he said, his voice tinged with admiration. "The higher-ups are very optimistic about this project. They've also specifically emphasized that we must ensure your safety and prevent any repeat of the last incident."
