Be Honest 44

    I thought, ‘A major problem? How big can it be?’ I wasn’t panicked. I just asked calmly, “Take it slow and tell me what happened.”


    Myra exined the issue. Basically, the lighting didn’t match the design at all. Either there was a problem with the quality of the lights from the supplier, or it was an instation issue.


    “Well, since you know the problem, just go talk to the person in charge and get it sorted. Even if I came back, that’s all I’d be doing,” I said, keeping my tone casual.


    “Zoe, pleasee back! I really can’t handle this by myself. I don’t know what’s going on with Mr. Doltontely, but he’s been at the amusement park every day.


    “Every time he leaves, there’s a new problem, and I’m going crazy trying to fix everything,” Myra said, her voice breaking as if she was about to cry.


    Her words made me wonder, ‘Is Alvin purposely making things difficult for Myra to push me intoing back?’ After all these years, he knew me well enough to understand that I was soft-hearted and didn’t want to make others suffer because of <ol><li></li></ol>


    “You handle it for now.” I still didn’t agree to return.


    It wasn’t because I was heartless and didn’t care about Myra. It was because I wanted to give her a chance to grow. She needed to learn to take responsibility if she was going to improve and advance.


    I was nning to resign soon, which would open up a promotion for her, but she needed to show she had the skills to take on the role.


    “Zoe, I really can’t handle this alone. This is a huge issue! You know how important the lighting is to the whole park,” Myra pleaded.


    I thought for a moment. “Send me a detailed report, then contact me when you’re on-site. It’d be best if you could turn on all the lights at night so I can see the full effect.”


    Hearing that I was genuinely hesitant to return, Myra sighed. “I know you don’t want to deal with Mr. Dolton right now. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t ask you toe back.”


    She paused, then added, “But I’m still supporting you.”


    Her words warmed my heart, though I couldn’t help but feel a little bitter.


    “Okay, go ahead and follow my instructions,” I said, then ended the call. I opened my email and reviewed the lighting design ns and renders for the park.


    That night, Myra called me via video. “Zoe, I’m on-site now, and all the lights are on. How do you want to check it?”


    I watched the video, but all I could see was a small section of the lights. “Go to the highest point in the park. I’ll get an overall view first.


    “Then you can use an aerial shot to show the lighting in each section, especially where the issues are.”


    “Got it. Hang on,” Myra said. The screen wobbled as she started running.


    But after a few steps, she suddenly stopped. Then I heard her call out, “Mr. Dolton, what are you doing here?”


    “Why are you running?” Alvin’s familiar, cold voice came through.


    My hand tightened around my phone, and my heartbeat quickened.


    Despite everything, ten years of shared history couldn’t just disappear overnight. Alvin-his voice alone still had the power to stir something inside me.


    I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘If Myra tells him she is talking to me, what will he say? Would he take the phone from her and speak to me directly?’


    “I… I’m just looking for a higher spot to shoot the video,” Myra replied quickly.


    Alvin didn’t answer right away. After a long pause, he muttered a soft “Okay,” and then I heard his footsteps fade as he walked


    away.
