Chapter 119 Driven by paternal love, I wanted the amusement park to be flawless, so I reluctantly agreed to help.

Instead of being an official participant, though, I ended up as an unofficial advisor. And get this- for free. It didn't matter, though. As long as the amusement park had a grand finale, I was good. The main thing was, I had nothing else on my plate. I was free as a bird.

I headed to the hotel in the evening. As I was leaving, the door opposite was locked tight. The thought of a man moving in there soon made my skin crawl, leavingfeeling unsettled. Suddenly, an idea struck me. Why not just rent the place myself? The landlord's number was plastered right on the door. I didn't hesitate to call. But when I laid out my plan, the landlord hesitated, "Well... I've already taken a deposit from someone else. It wouldn't be right to go back on my word now." "I'll double the deposit and return it to him, plus I'll pay more in rent," I said. Peace of mind was worth the extra cost. It's true what they say, money talks. It can buy peace of mind and make people bend their principles. Hearing the promise of more money, the landlord quickly agreed to negotiate with the other party and get back to me.

After hanging up, I drove to the hotel, only to see Haley in the lobby. Sure, she had every right to be there, but something toldshe was here for me. Sure enough, she looked up at the sound of my footsteps and called out, "Felicia." Waiting here forit had to be important.

"If you're here to report on work, you're barking up the wrong tree. I've stepped down," I cut her off before she could speak. Admittedly, it was a low blow, given today's resignation had her fingerprints all over it. I was still holding a grudge. I had planned to swallow my pride, considering her condition, but her showing up like this? I couldn't just let it slide.

"I cto talk to you about that," Haley said, her voice soft and gentle. We had our rounds before, playing the villain and the victim interchangeably. Yet, her standing beforenow, trying to play the innocent, remindednot of an innocent flower but of a willow by the river, swaying and flirting with everyone who passed by.

"Oh? And what does Ms. Perez have to say?" I sat down across from her, intrigued.

"Felicia, my going to the amusement park was strictly business, nothing more. Don't get it twisted," she defended herself.

I scoffed, "But it seems you were the one who got it twisted. I asked you to familiarize yourself with the amusement park alongside Dustin. Was there any need to run to Conrad with that?" She shook her head quickly, "I didn't mean to tattle. Rad just happened to call, and I let it slip. I didn't think he would..." She trailed off, but her implication

was clear Conrad had thrown a fit over her, cutting off his once fiancée, his right hand woman, for her. So, she wasn't here to make amends. She was here to flaunt her victory.

"Love makes him do dumb stuff.

Once the little head starts thinking for the big head, there's no telling what stupidity will ensue. Nothing surprising there," I retorted, making Haley's face turn sour. But I couldn't help smirking. "Ms. Perez might not be aware, but his close buddies have a nicknfor him- 'Goofball"."
