Redmption 109
I didn’t move while Brandon stood inside the elevator and said, “Come here. Let’s go up together.”
I held the lollipop as he continued, “There’s some more testing that I want you to check on.”
He also said the same thing just now, but he was just showing me some childish effects.
I warned him, “Brandon, it’s working hours right now. Don’t mess around and lie to me.
“Okay,” he replied obediently, but he still stood there, seemingly wouldn’t leave until I got on the
elevator.
could only walk toward him. When I was about to get on the elevator, he tried to hold my arm, but I
dodged him. However, when I stepped inside, the stairs suddenly shook. I instinctively reached out
and grabbed his arm by chance.
The awkwardness made me blush, but he only looked around and muttered, “I have to get someone
to check this thing. Why does it sway so easily?”
I was speechless. This time, Brandon didn’t joke around with me. When we went up, he started
testing while I inspected the effects and made adjustments. However, I received Chris‘ call not even
half an hour after we started. I had a bad feeling when I saw his number. His call was definitely not
going to be about work but about someint from Jewel.
Still, he was my superior now. I couldn’t just ignore his call. Hence, I stood somewhere further on
the elevator and answered the call, saying, “Mr. Gildon.”

“Madeline, you are so cruel!”
The first thing Chris did was to scold me. I didn’t need any further context because I already knew
why he was berating me. Of course, his little darlingined to him.
“Mr. Gildon, I believe there’s no issue with my arrangements. If anything, you’re the problematic
one.” I paused, then continued, “You were the one who ced them here together, so I made
arrangements that way.”

Chris was probably fuming. He didn’t speak for a while, so I took the chance to say, “I’m very busy.
If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Immediately assign someone else to apany Jewel! You will apany her yourself,” Chris
commanded.
“Chris, did your brain get caught in the door? Is she so important that I have to apany her
myself? We need to test out the lighting in the amusement park right now. Shall we put that on
hold?” I didn’t hold back, either.
“I am ordering you to do this. You don’t need to care about anything else.” Chris was using his
status to dictate me.
My grip on the handle of the elevator tightened. “Chris, you can be a dictator and rage all you want,
but I won’t follow along with your shenanigans.”
“Then, I’ll strip you of your title as the person in charge of the amusement park with immediate
effect. You’lle back to work in the office.”
Chris‘ decision surprised me.
I was quiet for a while. “Chris, are you for real?”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Chris scoffed. “Madeline, don’t think that the amusement park is going to
fall apart without you.”
Hearing this, I knew he wasn’t joking. Looking at the amusement park around 50 feet above ground,
felt empty and sad at the same time.
After Chris‘ betrayal, I was willing to swallow my pride and stay on this project just toplete it. It
was also to fulfill my dream, but in the end, I couldn’t do it.
This was probably the feeling of regret that people always talked about. It was just like how my
parents loved me and wanted to watch me grow up and get married, but they passed away too
soon.
Since one couldn’t expect everything to go their way, I wouldn’t cling on either.
“Alright,” I agreed. “I’ll return to the office right now.”
I hung up and couldn’t help but tremble. After a while, I recovered enough to say, “Brandon, I have
to return to the office. I can’t apany you to continue the testing, but I hope you can still
complete it.”
His eyebrows furrowed. Seeing his expression, I had a hunch that he would

probably follow me if I left. It wasn’t because I was narcissistic, but this was the feeling that he gave
me.
“This amusement park is my dream. I want to see itpleted well,” I murmured.
After a long while, Brandon said, “Alright.
