No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Does she really want the amusement park? Does this woman actually think it's a gold mine?

"No way," I flatly refused.

"Why not?" Haley Perez asked me.

I didn't respond, so she continued, "Is it because Conrad Wagner gave it to you?"

She really had a drama unfolding in her mind.

"Didn't you listen to what President Wagner said at the opening ceremony?" I reminded her.

Haley just laughed mockingly, "Those were just words to deceive the public."

Arguing with someone so unreasonable was pointless, so instead of continuing, I asked, "Tell me, why do you want the amusement park so badly?" "Because it's a cash cow. With it, I won't have to worry about my future," Haley's response sounded grounded.

From her reactions, her words seemed to ring true, but I knew it wasn't that simple.

"Haley, you want something but you're not being honest. How do you expect me to say yes to your request?" I pointed out bluntly.

Her eyes narrowed. "You really want to hear the truth?"

I didn't even respond; instead, I turned to leave, but she grabbed me again, "The truth is, I want to take what's yours."

That was brutally honest.
