Chapter 50



Indeed, it was the highest point, and through a video call, I saw the amusement park under the glow of lights. Overall, it didn't look bad, but it was a far cry from the original design, which featured gradient blue, reminiscent of the ocean transitioning from night to dawn.

But it was just a solid, deep blue, no gradient, just a monotonous shade. Though rich in color, it lacked soul.

"Hey Felicia, this is the situation. I'm unsure if it's the contractor's fault or an issue with the lighting supplier," Deborah's voice came through. "Have you talked to both parties? What did they say?" I asked.

"The contractor claims they followed the plan, and the supplier insists they made the lights according to our specifications. Neither admits to any wrongdoing, so I'm at a loss," Deborah sounded frustrated.

"Felicia, come back. I can't seem to handle this, and I know how much you've put into this amusement park. You wouldn't want it to turn out this way," Deborah urged me again.

"Fine, I'm coming back," I said without further ado.

After ending the call, I booked a flight and received aerial shots of the details from Deborah, confirming the issues were significant.

The following morning, I was up early, packing my bags for the nine o'clock flight.

"Licia, you're up so early. What's the rush? Working on your yoga poses again?" Ethel asked upon seeing me.
