Chapter 45
That spot was indeed the highest point. Through the video, I could see the amusement park under the lights. Overall, it didn’t look bad. But the base color of the lighting was completely different from the design.
The original design had a blue gradient base color. It was supposed to
resemble an ocean transitioning from night to dawn.
Now, it was all blue, without the gradient. And the blue was a deep and heavy shade. Though the color was rich, it lacked soul.
“Ms. Crown, that’s the overall view. I’m not sure if it’s the contractor’s problem or the lighting manufacturer’s issue.” Kara’s voice came through.
“Have you communicated with both parties? What did they say?” I asked.
“The contractor said they followed the requirements. And the manufacturer said the lights were made according to our specifications. Neither admits there’s an issue, so I don’t know where the problem lies,” Kara said, feeling
troubled.
“Ms. Crown, you need to come back. I really can’t handle this. Plus, you’ve put so much effort into this amusement park. You wouldn’t want it to have such issues, right?” Kara started persuading me again.
“Alright. I’ll come back.” This time, I didn’t say anything else.

Kelly was stunned. Then, she mumbled, “Didn’t you say you’d stay for a few more days?”
“There’s a project at my company with some issues that I need to handle. After it’s sorted out, I might come back to see you,” I said, though I only mentioned it as a possibility.
Even though I would leave Chris‘ company, I still needed to continue working to support myself.
“Alright. Go on then. Everyone leaves, except for this old lady who can’t go anywhere.” Her words tugged at my heartstrings.
They also sparked a bold idea in me. “Mrs. Rhodes, why don’t you come with
me?”
“Take me with you?” Kelly was surprised.
“Yes. I’ll take you to see the bustling city. I smiled, feeling excited at the prospect. Over these few days, I had come to see her as my own grandmother.
