He had the kind of face that screamed trustworthiness, the kind that wouldn't let you doubt him even if he lied. And there he was, looking straight into my eyes, his honesty making it even harder forto accuse him of deceit.

But I couldn't resist teasing him, "So, you're just playing house? Really, Ernest, you can't be serious." He paused in his chopping, then replied, "Well, just for you." Alright then! This man, when he decided to be cheesy, it was almost unbearable.

"I want to go too; I've never been to an amusement park," Susie said boldly.

Truth be told, I had the sidea, which was why I asked Conrad in the first place. It just turned out he thought I wanted to bring Ernest along.

And Ernest didn't needto take him; after all, he was behind the stunning lighting design that lit up the amusement park.

With the grand opening hyped up as it was, the place was swarming with visitors. Thankfully, the marketing team anticipated this and implemented timed ticket purchases to manage the crowd smoothly. Ernest and I, with Susie in tow, took the VIP entrance. Ernest was well aware of my special status today. He took Susie off to enjoy the rides while I headed to the VIP lounge for the opening ceremony guests. "Felicia, chere, darling. Herschel and I have been waiting for you," Jacqueline called out in her evening dress, beaming with joy.

I approached, asking Herschel, "How have you been these past few days?" "Great, eating well, drinking well, sleeping well," Herschel joked, his humor on point as always.

Conrad and Dustin, both dashing in their suits, cover. Jacqueline couldn't hide her pride as she looked at her two sons.

"Why are you alone?" Conrad inquired.

"Ernest took his sister to enjoy the park." "We've arranged a lunch banquet. Make sure they join us," Herschel chimed in.

"Sure," I replied, though I knew Ernest and Susie would probably skip it.

At 10:10, the opening ceremony officially began.

I joined Herschel, Jacqueline, Dustin, and Conrad on stage for the ribbon-cutting, a family affair unlike any typical corporate opening, which usually involved business partners.

I was puzzled and slightly uneasy. I knew this unconventional ceremony would draw criticism.

But Herschel and Conrad must have had their reasons, so I played along.

As I cut through the ribbon, Herschel was invited to speak.

"Thank you all for joining us today. You might be wondering why it's our family up here cutting the ribbon," Herschel began, commanding everyone's attention despite his recent illness and long absence from the public eye.

"Before I answer that, letshare a story with you. It's about a father and his daughter..." My heart skipped a beat as he spoke.

As Herschel's story unfolded, my eyes began to well up...

The promise my father made to me, Herschel knew about it. This amusement park wasn't a whimsical gift from Conrad...

"The protagonist of my story is right

here beside me," Herschel said, gesturing towards me. "She is the girl from my story. This amusement park was built for her. And it's not owned NO by the Wagner Group because I personally financed it." The crowd started murmuring.

I was stunned. "Herschel..."

But before could say anything, Herschel announced loudly, "I hereby declare that this amusement park belongs to Felicia. All its profits and management rights are hers from now on." I was speechless.

How could such a huge project, with so much invested in it, just be handed over tolike that?

I was about to refuse when a voice from the crowd called out, "MD M Wagner, didn't you promise that amusement park to me?" Search the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
