No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 72

"Ms. Hudson," Ernest's voice suddenly cut through the air.

I returned to reality and turned, only to find him standing behind me, accompanied by Deborah and the head electrician.

For some reason, Ernest seemed frosty, which made me worry if something had gone wrong. "Mr. Collins, did you find any issues?"

"I’ve handed the issues over to the electricians for rectification," he replied, his tone cold.

"Ah," I acknowledged, about to ask what we needed to do next when he added, "We won't be testing the lights today."

"Uh?" I was shocked.

The head electrician immediately explained, "There's a problem with the circuit voltage that needs adjusting."

Frowning, I asked, "How long will it take?"

The head electrician said, "We should get it done today."

Upon hearing that, I sighed in relief. I was dreading it might take days.

"Is there anything else I need to do?" I turned to Ernest.

Ernest said neatly, "No."

I frowned, but Deborah was quicker to speak up, "Does Mr. Collins mean we're not needed here anymore? Can we head off early?"

"Sure, you can go handle other things. We'll give you a shout if anything comes up." Ernest's response genuinely surprised me.

I had expected him to keep us burning the midnight oil, but he suggested a break.

Before I could say anything more, Ernest had walked away with the head electrician.

Deborah whispered, "Girl, you've been quite the catch since you left Mr. Wagner."

"What?" I didn't catch her drift.

Admiring someone was like cherishing an object to each of their own. I couldn't object.

"Let's head up," I directed toward the elevator.

At that moment, Ernest said, "Ms. Hudson, which room are you in?"

I was shocked.

Quick as ever, Deborah blurted out, "Room 306!"

After that, Ernest told the front desk, "Place me in the room opposite or next to 306."

I was speechless.

Deborah's eyes widened, "Felicia... Felicia..."

I pulled her aside, signaling her to keep it together while I stopped there, wanting to ask Ernest why he'd like to stay so close.
