"Mr. Lewis, forgive my bluntness, but I believe the safety of our workers is more important than any potential delay in the schedule. If there truly is an error in the data, the construction team could pay with their lives for even a minor discrepancy," Ava stated firmly.
"I disagree. With the project about to start, I can't halt everything based on one person's suspicion. Do you realize how many people are depending on this job to start so they can feed their families? Mr. Ford, I've been devoted to this company for many years, why would I do anything to harm it?" Kevin Lewis said, visibly upset, though his strong facade hid a sense of guilt.
"I'm not accusing you of harming the company; I'm concerned there may be an issue with the data," Ava replied, furrowing her brow. She was simply raising a concern about the data, yet Kevin seemed to be deflecting to other topics.
