Suzy tapped into her chat window with Manager Lin.
They had spoken not long ago.
Manager Lin checked in with her regularly about the progress of the safe house. Every few days, he would send updates, along with photos from the construction site. He was meticulous, responsible, and efficient.
Suzy began typing without preamble.
[Suzy: Manager Lin, can the construction speed be increased further?]
Barely a minute passed before Daniel Lin replied.
[Manager Lin: What completion date are you hoping for?]
Suzy's fingers flew over the screen.
[Suzy: Ideally, within half a month. I can increase the budget.]
The response came almost instantly.
[Manager Lin: That can be arranged.]
Her last sentence had clearly made the difference.
Money solved problems.
[Suzy: Thank you for your hard work.]
After sending the message, she transferred money to his personal account as a gesture of goodwill.
She trusted he would deliver.
