No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Without panicking, I called her, "Take it easy. what happened?"

Deborah laid it out. "The lighting was completely off from the design drafts. Either there was a quality issue with the manufacturer's lights or an installation problem."

"If you've pinpointed the issues, contact the relevant people to get it fixed. I'd be doing the same if I were there," I said, my tone casual.

"Felicia, please come back. I'm begging you. I can't handle it by myself. I don't know what's gotten into Mr. Wagner lately. He's been running off to the carnival every day. Every time he returns, a new problem pops up. I'm about to lose my mind," Deborah's voice was on the verge of tears.

Thinking about Conrad's text message, I couldn't help but wonder if he was deliberately making things difficult for Deborah to force my hand. After all these years, he knew me well enough to know I wouldn't stand seeing others in trouble because of me.
