A Crazy One-night Stand

Chapter 13: The Construction Site

Alina couldn't remember how she got home. She was really drunk last night! She couldn't even

remember whether her mother had scolded her.

When she arrived at work, Rosie looked at her with annoyance. Alina smiled sheepishly. "Rosie, sorry

for last night! I was too drunk to remember anything!"

"You're finally willing to admit that you were drunk?" Rosie was exasperated.

"I was just having fun yesterday!" Alina tried to make up an excuse.

"You don't need to get so drunk to have fun! Don't lie to me. You were thinking about Ken last night. It

has been so long ago, furthermore, you are going to get married to a rich young man! You should focus

on your future instead of being trapped in the past. Are you reminiscing about your past with Ken

because he is coming here to Jameson City?" Rosie looked straight at Alina's eyes.

"No! I didn't think about him at all. I was just in a good mood!" Alina didn't want to cause any worry to

Rosie. Three years ago, when she first came to Jameson City, Rosie was the one who stood by her

side. Rosie was always there for her through the lowest period of her life. She didn't want to trouble

Rosie again.

"You shouldn't think about Ken anymore!" Rosie hugged Alina tightly and whispered softly in her ear,

"Don't look back! Once a cheater, always a cheater. Alina, don't forget all the tears you have shed for

him. Remember how he broke your heart!"

"Okay, okay. You worry too much. I'm not going back to Ken. Besides, he is already engaged to Anne. I

am also going to get married to someone else. Anyway, I'm going to survey the construction site and

get some measurements!" Alina buckled on a safety helmet.

"Alright, see you later!" Rosie nodded.

Alina arrived at the construction site and knocked on her safety helmet. "I shouldn't get drunk ever

again. My hangover is killing me!" No matter what, keeping herself healthy should be of utmost

importance!

She talked to the project manager of the construction site for approval to conduct some measurements.

The manager kindly asked Mike and Morgan, interns on-site, to help her out.

"Alina, Morgan and I will do the measuring. You just need to record them down. Let us know where you

need to measure!" Mike said to Alina. They were acquaintances as Mike had helped Alina before in

previous projects. She was two years older than Mike. Alina liked to tease him by asking him to call her

big sister but Mike flatly refused. They were comfortable working with each other by now.

"Okay, let's start from the innermost block, Building G!" Alina smiled and replied.

The three of them walked there together. Construction sites were generally dangerous and fraught with

risky hazards. As they made their way to the building, Mike reminded Alina. "Alina, walk carefully.

Building G is under excavation, and the ground is uneven. Building E's foundation is being laid so there

will be many steel bars lying around, be careful to watch your step. Building C's construction progress

is really fast, so watch out for the tower cranes. There could be a risk of falling objects!"

"Okay!" Alina nodded with a calm smile. Mike was a kind and meticulous person. Every time she visited

the site, he would remind her to be careful. Sometimes, he would share with her his hopes and dreams

for the future.

They soon reached Building G. An excavator was loading a dump truck with soil.

One truck after another was filled to the brim and drove out of the construction site.

"Alina, where should we measure first?" Mike asked again.

Alina took out a plan and pointed. "We need to measure here, here, and here! We will be setting up a This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

runway between the west wall and the east wall. Let's measure the distance between the walls to see if

we need to revise the plans. After that, there will be a tennis court in this location. We need to measure

it to see if the area is large enough..."

"Alright! Morgan and I will measure, you note them down!"

"Sure," Alina agreed.

The two interns got down to business immediately. They had good teamwork and cooperated well with

Alina. After measuring, they reported the measurements to her.

"The width of the space between the west wall and east wall is 88 meters!"

"The distance between Building G and Building F is 103 meters!"

"The west gate is 36 meters from the Building F's north wall!"

"... "

Alina quickly jotted down the measurements.
