No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 108

I immediately glanced at Ernest, scolding Deborah, "Are you out of your mind? What are you babbling about?"

"I'm not babbling. I'm saying you two are workaholics, and I feel like I'm at my breaking point," Deborah slouched in the car seat.

"You'll have to hang in there. It won't be much longer," I had checked the remaining schedule today, and by our current pace, we were about ten days from finishing up.

"How much longer?" It seemed Deborah couldn't stand another day.

I looked through the rearview mirror at Ernest and replied, "About ten days."

"Ten days, huh," Deborah muttered as if she had lost all hope in life.

By the time we got to the hotel, Deborah had already fallen asleep. I called her name a few times, but she wouldn't budge. Finally, I leaned close to her ear, "If you don't get up now, I'm going to have Ernest carry you."

"That sounds nice." Deborah stretched her arms.

Her response made me laugh, and I tugged at her. "Come on, get up."

Deborah, squinting her eyes, let me pull her into the elevator and up to our floor. Just as we reached our room, Ernest, who had been quiet, finally spoke up, "Felicia, I need to talk to you."

My heart skipped a beat. "Okay."

Deborah, too drowsy to care, stumbled into the room without a second thought.

I turned to Ernest, asking, "What's on your mind, Mr. Collins?"

"I've already spoken with the company. I'll finish the work here," Ernest's words made me utter an "Oh."

I wasn't surprised, because if he left, I would truly throw up my job.

Even without me and Ernest, the amusement park's lighting setup would continue, but it definitely wouldn't be finished on schedule.

More importantly, the lighting effects would probably differ from our current setup.

The most crucial point was that Conrad probably didn't want me to leave the company. He hadn't pressured Ernest's company to replace him, likely fearing I'd do as I said.
