‘Lotus didn’t pick you up as agreed, not because she was handling customer complaints, but because
she wanted to embarrass you intentionally. The Company does want to foster a competitive
atmosphere among its hotels, but it’s for mutual progress, not to suppress each other. Her actions
today, along with her previous inaction and lack of remorse, led me to believe that she and the team

“Okay,” she replied.
“Alright, we’re done with business.” He finally had the chance to drop the serious tone, and his lacial
expression instantly softened.

She looked at his large, dry palm, feeling puzzled. “Huh?”
He pursed his lips, walked over to hold her hand, and pulled her up.
“Well you didn’t feel like sleeping, right? Since we don’t have anything to do this afternoon, come with
me to my home,” he suggested.
She had the urge to ask if she could go to sleep right away, but Kevan didn’t even give her the
opportunity to ask the question. He grabbed her and escorted her out of the room, directly guiding her
into the car.

For a moment, Larissa even felt as though she had traveled back in time.
“Young Mr. Rogers has returned!” The wrinkles on the old man’s face converged, and he excitedly
shouted into the courtyard,
In no time, several individuals emerged from adjacent rooms, dressed similarly to the elderly man,

“Young Mr. Rogers!” They respectfully called out, and their faces were beaming with joy.
