I had already agreed to see her off before heading back to work.
But when I arrived, I only saw Deborah. Ernest was nowhere to be found. "Where's he?"
"Graham took him away," Deborah locked eyes with me, saying, "Felicia, even your future mother-in-law came to mediate, and you..."
"It's over between Conrad and me, no matter who comes to persuade. Don't give it another thought," I cut her off, making my stance clear once again.
Deborah sighed, "Honestly, the Wagners are such a wonderful family, it's just that the leading man is a bit lacking."
She was right. Everything about the Wagner family was great, but I wasn't marrying the Wagner family; I was marrying Conrad.
And if he wasn't right, nothing else mattered.
Deborah and I waited for Ernest for half an hour, but he didn't show. So, I decided to give him a call.
Turns out, he left his phone in the lounge area.
"Felicia, Mr. Collins definitely doesn't have a girlfriend. Look, he doesn't even keep his phone on him. If he had a girlfriend, he'd be glued to it," Deborah analyzed with her seasoned wisdom.
But I didn't dwell on that and checked the time before standing up. "I'm going to check on Graham."
Just as I reached the door, I heard Ernest's voice. "Calling me away will delay the project by at least half a month, maybe even more."
What? Ernest was called away?
What's going on here?
I was about to push the door open when Ivan's voice came from inside, "Mr. Wagner said this is our responsibility, not yours."
Everything clicked for me then, and I pushed the door open. "I disagree."
Ivan, caught off guard, quickly tried to explain, "Ms. Hudson, this was Mr. Wagner's decision."
"Well, his decision doesn't work for me. I'm in charge of the amusement park, and I say no to changing the team. His word is not final," I retorted, standing my ground.
