No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 18



The amusement park was almost finished, and I didn't want to leave when things were so critical.

Around noon, as I was sorting through my workload, Deborah came running up with a secretive air. "Felicia, did you get your period last night?" I glanced at her. "Is there a reason I shouldn't?"

"No, no," Deborah shook her head vigorously. "I was wondering why Mr. Wagner's been so upset today. Must be his frustrated desires."

It took me a moment before I got what she meant. I tapped her on the head with my pen. "Focus on work during work hours. Cut out the wild thoughts."

Deborah giggled and handed me the report we'd both reviewed the day before. "It's not just me. Everyone's been on edge with Mr. Wagner snapping at them. No one's come out of his office smiling today."

Images of Conrad angrily tossing away a bouquet of roses that morning flashed through my mind. I wondered if his sour mood was because I hadn't been as easy to appease as usual or because of our breakup conversation.

"Felicia, you didn't fight with Mr. Wagner, right?" Deborah pried.
