Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 341

"Special meaning? What kind of special meaning?" Effie couldn't help but ask.

Lyman looked at her as if weighing his words, then swallowed them back. "Maybe I'll tell you next time, if we get another chance."

She wanted to press him-why not just say it now?-but the question died on her lips.

Maybe everyone has secrets they'd rather keep to themselves.

Just then, the amusement park manager approached Lyman. "Mr. Etheridge, the park's been reserved for a private party tonight. Only someone named Effie is allowed in."

Effie stepped forward. "That's me. Do you need to see my ID?"

The manager's mouth twitched as he glanced between Effie and Lyman, his mind racing. Was he about to witness some messy love triangle drama? This could be even more of a disaster than the haunted house attraction his boss insisted on keeping!

Lyman asked, "Want to check?"

"Oh, no need!" The manager waved his hands, flustered. "Boss's friends wouldn't lie."

It was odd, really. After buying the park, the owner only insisted on keeping the haunted house. Everything else could be upgraded or changed. You'd think he was attached to the place, but he never showed up again.

The staff figured he'd forgotten about them. Everyone just muddled along, collecting paychecks and not expecting much-well aware the park might go under again and force them all to find new jobs.
