No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 52



I stepped off the plane, my luggage still in tow, and made a beeline for the amusement park.

Deborah was there, too. When she saw me, she wrapped me in a tight hug. "Felicia, you're finally back."

I patted her on the back. "Come on. Let's check out a few places first."

I had barely slept the previous night, and my mind was racing through what could go wrong.

Though I had suspicions about the construction crew and the lighting supplier, the odds of them messing up seemed slim. It was a big project, after all. They'd be in for more than a financial hit if the fault were theirs.

So, I racked my brain for other potential issues, but as a layperson, pinpointing the problem was tricky. That meant I needed to see things for myself. Switching lights on and off, comparing them to the design blueprints, I kept at it until 2 a.m.

"Felicia, you're like a storm gathering strength for a week before it hits," Deborah joked, visibly exhausted.

Had I been away for a week? I couldn't dwell on that. Deborah and I headed straight to the office, working through the night to document our findings. We planned to contact the construction and lighting teams and report to Conrad the next day.
