NovelEnglishChapter 66 "Maddie, you fell on purpose, right?" I didn't know Kara would cto that conclusion. My waist was still aching, and I was sure there must be a dark bruise. I really wished I could just lift my shirt and show her.
I wasn't dumb enough to take desire more seriously than my own life.
I rolled my eyes at her but didn't stop her from talking. She continued, "What does it feel like? Are his arms really strong? How was his-" "Kara!" I immediately cut her off and said, "You really don't have a single proper thought in that head of yours!"

It seemed like I should keep my distance from him. I had to make sure I stayed alert around him, and I had to pretend he was just a regular technician.
Besides, all that happened between us was a simple blind date. It wasn't like we were involved otherwise. Kara passed the documents Brandon had asked for to him and walked out. She sawstanding by and said, "Maddie, Mr. Howell wants us to go to the affected lighting first. He'll be there in a second." I nodded. I was about to walk over with Kara when my phone rang. It was a call from Derick. "Where are you? How could you just leavealone?" I froze when I heard him. It had been a long tsince he arrived. Had he not left yet? Did he test out every single ride in the park? "I thought you left," I said honestly.
"Not yet. Where are you?" he asked.
I told him where we were going to debug the lighting next and he said he would cfind me. However, I was there for almost an hour before he finally showed up.
"Did you get lost?" I asked teasingly.
He was holding a plastic ball from the ball pit and playing around with it. As expected of a snooker champion, he really couldn't let go of anything that reminded him of a snooker ball.
"I've been in mazes all over the world. Your tiny amusement park is child's play to me." Apart from snooker, Derrick also liked breaking through mazes.
Chris once toldthat Derick would make sure to visit the mazes in every location he traveled to. He had pretty much gone through all of the mazes in existence and was targeting underground mazes next. The world was full of all sorts of people with all sorts of interests.
There were people who liked racing, birdwatching, exploring, and collecting various items.
"No matter how complicated a maze is, there's always going to be a way that leads back home," he suddenly said.
I froze momentarily before understanding what he meant.

The very next second, I felt a slight weight on my head. He caressed my hair and said, "You're a good person. Someone who actually deserves you will calong one day." He then retracted his hand and walked away. I held onto the ball he had been playing with. It was still warm from the heat of his palm. My heart felt bitter and ached slightly as he walked away.
