Chapter 162 Why Not You?
<b>Her </b><b>eyes </b>sparkled. “This <b>is </b>it!”
It was crystal, clearer than anything she’d find for sale.
The cave was dim, and both of them carried shlights. When Andy nced up, he caught the joy on her face. With that faint glow around her, her beauty was almost unreal.
And she looked more and more like that person.
Dawn only cared about the crystal in her hand. She snapped a few pics on her phone, then checked the rock wall nearby.
Crystals were scattered everywhere on the ground, but hardly any were still stuck in the stone.
“This was probably mined before, but they never tracked down the real vein, so it was abandoned,” Andy said. His tone went back to normal as he pressed on a chunk sticking out of the wall. “Still, there has to be a source here. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see so many lying
around.”
Dawn thought for a moment, then tossed a fewrger pieces into her bag.
“That’s not our issue. I just need a few.
“Come on, Mr. Kelsinger. If they don’t find us soon, they’ll freak.”
Her voice sounded lighter now that the job was done.
Andy watched her jog out, her lively movements ovepping in his mind with someone from years ago. He blurted, “You truly don’t remember this ce?” <fn9468> Checktest chapters at </fn9468>
Dawn stopped and turned back.
With the light behind them, neither face was clear.
She looked puzzled. “What are you talking about? I’ve never been here.”
He exhaled quietly, realizing he’d pushed too hard. He exined, “I only meant caves all look alike. With your experience<i>, </i>I figured you’d been somewhere like this.”
<i>Experience</i><i>? </i><i>Did </i><i>he </i><i>truly </i>know <i>anything </i><i>about </i><i>me</i><i>? </i>
Dawn gave him a wary look but stayed quiet. Andy easily caught up. “Let’s go. They’re waiting.”

He took the lead. Though she noticed the shadow that shed in his eyes, she knew now wasn’t the right time to dig deeper.
Dawn pushed the thought away and followed him down.
They hiked off the mountain.
It was just past four in the afternoon. The group stopped at a farmhouse restaurant for a meal, then headed back. <ul><li></li></ul>
Thanks to Andy, the task was a sess. Spending the trip with him brought everyone closer. Janice teased, “Mr. Kelsinger, why note back to the office? We’ll even have Mr. Jackson give you a Best Partner award.”
Andy chuckled. “It was nothing. I also hitched a ride with you guys.”

“No need. Anywhere convenient works.”
Just then, Ethan called.
Dawn answered cheerfully, “How’d you know I was close? I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
He asked gently, “At Starforge za?”
She nced out the window. He was right.
“I’m already here,” he said. “Tell the driver to stop.”
“Uh… okay.” Dawn leaned forward and tapped the front seat. “Connor, please pull over. I’ve got ns tonight, so I won’t go back to the office. You all worked hard today. Go home and get
some rest.”
She directed thest part to the group. They all exchanged knowing looks.
But since she was on the phone, no one dared tease.
Andy said casually, “I’ll get out of here, too. My ce is nearby.”
The car stopped. Dawn and Andy stepped out one after the other.

After saying goodbye, the car disappeared down the road.
After giving Ethan the street sign, Dawn hung up.

“Mr. Kelsinger…” She felt a little awkward, but she figured she should say something. “Thanks for today. Next time, our boss will treat you to dinner.”
“Why not you?”
“Huh?<b>” </b>
Seeing her surprised face, Andy grinned. “Just kidding. But after today, we can at least call ourselves friends, right?”
He offered his hand. It felt odd not to take it.
Dawn smiled, shook his hand politely, and said, “d to know someone as skilled as you. Hope we get to work together again.”

Before she could say more, a deep voice called from behind, “Dawn, let’s go.”
She turned around. Ethan leaned against the car window. His ck shirt gave mysterious, rebellious vibe, his eyes intense.
