Chapter 120: Chapter 120

Returning to the hotel after Kevin's harsh handling last night, nobody dared to casually discuss anything about Flora and Kevin anymore. However, she could sense that those gossiping women still looked down on her.

Perhaps the consequences of Kevin's actions made them think she was only able to establish herself at the Moonlight Hotel because of this relationship. Flora shook her head, not caring what they thought. After all, she had already been talked about enough.

As it was almost time to finish work, Flora suddenly received a notification to go to the personnel department. When she heard the news, her heart skipped a beat. This was a rare occurrence.

Chloe noticed her nervousness and patted her shoulder to reassure her, saying, "What are you afraid of? Can that bitch Alma still eat you alive? Just go, Linda and I will wait for you downstairs."

"Okay," Flora responded, still feeling a little uneasy.

The first thing that came to her mind was whether Kevin had found out about her pregnancy and would fire her according to company regulations. Please, let that not be the case!

With an anxious heart, Flora arrived at the personnel department. This was her second time entering the department, the first being on her first day at the hotel. The department staff gestured towards Alma Brown's office, indicating for Flora to go in and find her.

Flora gratefully nodded to them and knocked on the door before entering. Alma, who was engrossed in work, looked up and smiled upon seeing her. She pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "You're here, please have a seat."

Luckily, she was smiling, and Flora's tense heart relaxed a bit. She forced a laugh and said, "Thank you. Miss Alma, may I ask what you want from me?"

Alma pushed a suspension report towards her on the table and said seriously, "Mr. Kevin feels that the hotel's atmosphere hasn't been good lately and it has affected you. As compensation for your losses, the hotel has decided to keep you on paid leave for a year. If you want to come back after a year, you can continue working here." As she said these words, Alma's smile had a hint of ambiguity.

Even Alma thought there was something between Flora and Kevin!

Upon hearing this news, Flora was stunned, looking at Alma in astonishment. Paid leave? Kevin asked her to go home and rest, and she would still receive her salary? She was only two months pregnant, and there weren't many places where such good things like this happened, right?

At first glance, it seemed as if Kevin had kicked her out of the company to rectify the atmosphere and avoid rumors. No wonder even Alma looked at her with such strange eyes. However, only Flora and Kevin knew the truth!

Kevin couldn't bear to see her working while pregnant, she knew his goodwill! But, without any achievements, how could she accept such a favor from Kevin? Even though this year's salary was just a small amount for Kevin, principles should not have been like this!

In her heart, there was some touch, some gratitude. Kevin wasn't as bad as it seemed on the surface. She had always thought he was despicable, always wearing a carefree appearance and even teasing her, using her to provoke Maxwell!

"Miss Irma, please sign the suspension form," Alma reminded her, raising her voice as Flora stayed in a daze.

Flora snapped back to reality and after thinking for a few seconds, she said to Alma, "I'm sorry, I would like to go and talk to Mr. Kevin to clarify this matter before signing anything." After saying that, she gritted her teeth and was about to turn and leave.

She would not accept this arrangement that went against company regulations. She could only appreciate Kevin's goodwill in her heart. She wanted to go up and thank him, and then explain her thoughts clearly to him.

"Wait," Alma called out to her. "Mr. Kevin is in a meeting. You can't disturb him now."

Flora was taken aback and turned around with confusion, "He is in a meeting?"

She didn't know. And well, she hardly knew what Kevin was doing during working hours, though she was her personal assistant.

As Alma nodded, Flora changed her words. "Since that's the case, I'll find him tomorrow morning to understand. I'll head home for now."

"Alright, go ahead," Alma nodded at her and watched as she walked away. In her heart, she thought, what a strange girl. She doesn't even know how to seize the opportunity when she encounters something good. Is she trying to attract a wealthy man to stay at the hotel?

Flora came out of Alma's office and walked straight to the hotel entrance.

Chloe and Linda saw her and curiously asked, "Why did that Alma look for you? She didn't give you a hard time, did she?"

"No, she just wanted to discuss some work-related matters," Flora replied. Although things were not finalized yet, she felt there was no need to tell them and have to deal with their curiosity.

"Boring," Chloe muttered, starting the car and driving onto the road.

The car drove as usual on the lane and then turned onto a road leading to their residence. This road had fewer cars as it headed towards the outskirts.

When the car was about two kilometers away from the village entrance, a luxurious business car suddenly appeared in front. Two men disregarded the danger and walked towards the middle of the road, signaling for them to stop.

"Wow, where did these lunatics come from?" Chloe exclaimed softly, hastily stepping on the brakes, and the car screeched to a stop.

Linda and Flora in the back seat were impacted by the inertia and bumped their heads on the front seats, luckily not too heavily.

"What's happening?" Linda straightened up and craned her neck, looking at the front.

"I don't know, maybe they're trying to rob us," Chloe said, gripping the steering wheel and feigning composure. "Let's set things straight. If they want to rob us sexually, it's your turn, and if they want to rob us financially, it's my turn." As for Flora, who had neither money nor looks, she could stay in the car. No one would want a pregnant woman.

"I don't want that!" Linda wailed, fearfully staring at the two men who were coming closer. So muscular and tall, if it was about robbing sexually... Oh God! She would rather be robbed financially. Why did Chloe always snatch away all the good things?!

Flora couldn't utter a word when she saw the two men. Her body uncontrollably started trembling. These people must be targeting her. Are they going to kidnap her again? This time... Would Maxwell still save her? A series of questions flooded her mind, choking her.
