Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 

Major? How major? I didn’t panic and asked her directly, “Calm down. What’s going on?” 

Kara explained the issue. The lighting didn’t match the design plans at all. 

With 

could either be a quality problem the manufacturer’s lights or an 

installation issue. 

“Since you know these two possible causes, just find the relevant people to solve it. Even if I go back, that’s what I’d do,” I said calmly. 

“Ms. Crown, please come back. I really can’t handle it alone. 

“I don’t know what’s gotten into Mr. Gildon. He’s been coming to the 

amusement park every day. And every time he comes, there are tons of issues. I’m about to lose my mind.” Kara sounded as if she was gonna cry. 

I thought about the message Chris sent me. What if he was deliberately creating problems to make things difficult for Kara? That way it would force 

me to return. 

After so many years, he knew me well enough. He knew that I was soft–hearted and disliked causing trouble for others. 

“You should try handling it first.” I still didn’t agree to go back. 

It wasn’t that I was being heartless this time, letting Kara suffer. I wanted to train her. A person could only progress and improve by continuous learning and taking on responsibilities. 

I had plans to resign, giving her a chance for promotion. She needed to have the capability to handle it. 

“Ms. Crown, I really can’t handle it right now. The problem is huge. You know that the lighting is the soul of the amusement park.” Kara continued to persuade me. 

I pondered for a few seconds. “Send me a report on the problem. Connect with me on–site via video call. It would be best at night when all the lights are on. I’ll assess the situation before deciding.” 

Kara sensed that I really didn’t want to go back. She added, “Ms. Crown, I know 

you don’t want to face Mr. Gildon right now. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, 1 wouldn’t ask you to come back.” 

She paused before continuing, “I support you.” 

Her words warmed my heart, though tinged with sadness. 

“Follow my instructions first,” I said and hung up the phone. I then opened my email to check the amusement park’s lighting design and effect diagrams. 

That evening, Kara’s video call came in. “Ms. Crown, I’m at the site. All the lights are on. How do you want to check it?” 

I looked at the partial lighting visible in the video. “Go to the highest point of the amusement park. I want to see the overall effects first. Then, take aerial shots of each amusement park area’s lighting, especially the problematic spots.” 

“Okay. Give me a second…” Kara said. The video began to shake as she ran, accompanied by the sound of her panting. 

But after a few steps, she suddenly stopped. And I heard her exclaim, “Mr. Gildon, why are you here too?” 

“Why are you running?” Chris‘ familiar cold voice came through.
