Chapter 47

At three in the afternoon, I got off the plane and went straight to the amusement park without even dropping off my luggage.

Demi was there, and as soon as she saw me, she hugged me tightly. "Keira, you're finally back."

I patted her shoulder. "Come on, let's check out a few spots first."

I had barely slept the night before, stressing over what could go wrong. Even though I suspected the construction company and the lighting supplier, it seemed unlikely they'd mess up. This project was huge, and any mistake would cost them big time, both in money and re

I figured there might be other problems, but as a non-professional, I couldn't exactly pinpoint them. I needed to see for myself.

We turned the lights on and off, comparing everything to the design plans. I was busy until two in the morning.

"Keira, you're like a volcano erupting after a week of dormancy," Demi joked, exhausted.

Had it really been a week? I couldn't even tell anymore.

Without wasting time, Demi and I headed to the office and worked through the night to prepare a detailed report on the issues we found. We planned to contact the construction company and lighting supplier and report to Jace the next day.

According to Demi, Jace was already aware of the situation and was furious.

She also mentioned that even if we resolved the issue, we'd still be punished.

Jace might not be great with personal relationships, but he was always professional and strict at work, so this didn't surprise me.

"Even if we get punished, we need to do our job right," I said, standing by my principles.

By six in the morning, Demi and I were done. She was so tired she fell asleep at her desk.

My eyelids were heavy, but for some reason, I didn't feel sleepy. I washed my face in the restroom, made a cup of coffee, and kept reviewing the issues.

If my assessment was correct, the problem lay in the lighting adjustments.

""Ms. Kay, you're back?!"

"Ms. Kay, so early!"

Aş people started arriving at the office, they greeted me warmly but with noticeable curiosity in their

eyes.

Demi had already told me that everyone knew about the issues between Jace and me.

They knew I had lived at the Johnston residence, and even though Jace and I weren't officially married, we were basically a couple.

I never cared about what others said about me. Facing their curious glances and whispered

discussions behind my back, I pretended not to notice.

Everyone talks behind others' backs, and everyone gets talked about.

Our breakup was out there, so their curiosity made sense.

By ten in the morning, I was barely keeping my eyes open after a sleepless night, so I headed to the break room for another coffee.

As I walked out with my cup, Jace appeared.

His eyes narrowed when he saw me, and I could feel the mix of anger and frustration in his gaze.

"Morning, Mr. Johnston," I greeted him, trying to walk past with my coffee.

"Come to my office," Jace demanded, his tone so stem it made my hand shake a little.

I took a deep breath. "Alright.
