Redmption 59


    “No. It’s for us. After all, we need to test the lighting, which will have to be tested at night for the best


    results. We have to be prepared to stay overnight or go home reallyte, so it won’t be convenient


    for us to go all the way back home,” I exined.


    Kara gave me a thumbs–up. “Ms. Crown, your foresight is as impressive as


    ever.”


    “If you have a boyfriend, remember to let him know you won’t have much time for dating for a


    while,” I reminded her.


    “It’ll be fine. It’s about time to give him a little test anyway,” Kara said with a bright smile.


    Her smile was so sweet that I could immediately tell how much he liked him.


    “Great. Let’s get to work then. In order to save more time, we should find the root of all the problems


    that havee up. That way, once our partners reach, they can target the very root of the issue,” I


    said.


    Kara nodded and took out the blueprint. “I’ll watch over Areas A, D, and F.”


    “I’ll take care of the rest,” I said. Even though I was the head of the project, the situation called for


    all hands on deck.


    The next day, we met up with the two representatives from construction management. One was


    named Mr. Huntington while the other was a woman called Ms. Wydell.


    We met up with the representatives of the lightingpany as well, Mr. Zales and Mr. Lachy.


    The six of us began to discuss the issues that Kara and I had discovered. After that, we did a


    thorough investigation of the equipment. Finally, we determined that none of the physical lighting


    was damaged, nor was any of the


    construction work. The problem came from the debugging of the lighting programming.


    As per our previous agreements, the lightingpany was in charge of dealing with the debugging.


    Mr. Lachy immediately contacted thepany


    and gave me a quick answer. “We’ll send over a lighting engineer from ourpany. He’ll be here


    by tomorrow afternoon.”


    I felt rather impatient at that answer. “Is it possible to make them arrive sooner?


    Even though we had a month left, and we already found the root of the issue, lighting debugging


    was an extremely tedious job. A single light might need to be reprogrammed many times, and there


    were more than 10,000 lights all over. the amusement park. It would be impossible toplete if


    we didn’t speed up the process.


    We also had to leave time for Chris to check everything. If he was unhappy with what we came up


    with or felt like something was unsatisfactory, we would need more time to adjust things.


    “Mr. Howell is overseas. He’s already rushing back, and tomorrow is the soonest he can be here,”


    Mr. Lachy exined.


    Since their side was already trying their best, I couldn’t really say anything. All


    could do was wait.


    We all had dinner together, during which asked, “How’s Mr. Howell’s repertoire?”


    Mr. Lachy was about 40 years old and slightly plump. He was also extremely friendly and sincere.


    “Well, let’s just say that if he’s the second–best in the industry, no one can im to be the best.


    Was he really that good?


    I chuckled and replied, “If that’s the case, I feel much better already.”


    “He’s still single, by the way. If you have any single youngdies looking for a partner, maybe we


    could introduce them to each other,” Mr. Lachy joked.


    “Sure! Aren’t you afraid that he won’t want to leave if he dates someone from here?” I teased.

    “Well, ourpany provides positions for our staff’s family members,” Mr. Lachy teased back.


    The meal was extremely enjoyable and was a wee way to relieve the tension from the


    uing stress. When I got home, my phone rang. It was a call from Chris.


    I didn’t know what he could be calling sote for, but I picked up anyway.” Hello, Mr. Gildon.”


    “You really are a piece of work, Madeline. Are you still adamant that there’s something going on


    between Jewel and me?” he asked in a dark voice.


    I guessed he was calling to set the record straight, even though it seemed like someone else had


    already done that with him.


    “Is there anything I mentioned that you didn’t do?” I asked mildly.


    He chuckled coldly and replied, “Okay, Madeline. If that’s what you want.”


    What?


    Before I could make sense of what he was saying, he had already hung up. I washed up andy


    down. Once I turned my phone on, I saw a bunch of unread messages from a group chat called “La


    La Land“.


    It was a group chat with Chris and Derick as well as a few of their other friends. I was in it too as the


    group chat was open to girlfriends as well. Back then, I joined as Chris‘ girlfriend.


    The moment I opened the group chat, I saw a bunch of messages mentioning


    1. me.
