When Flora returned to the hotel, it had been thirty minutes past her work hours. The moment she stepped into the hotel, she felt countless pairs of eyes watching her. People began whispering and discussing.Occasionally, Flora could hear a few sentences like,"Is she really Kevin's mistress?""I don't know, maybe she is!"She couldn't believe how quickly the news had spread overnight. Oh my god! What should she do? Feeling the disdainful gazes, Flora quickened her pace.After changing into her uniform in the office, she hesitated whether she should go to Kevin's room. It had been such a long time, she probably didn't need to report to him, right? He probably didn't have the time either.It would be great if she could avoid going. If she didn't have any more contact with him in the future, there wouldn't be so many rumors. Even though they say the innocent is innocent, it still hurts in her heart. Now everyone sees her as Kevin's mistress. Oh, no!It was all because of that despicable
Lost in thought, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, and Kevin instinctively pressed the speakerphone button and asked casually, "What's the matter?" His face regained the seriousness of work, and meticulousness.A sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Kevin, Mrs. Davis wants you to come home tonight.""Understood," Kevin replied, then hung up the phone.Mrs. Davis was looking for him? It was probably to introduce a bunch of flashy women for him to choose from, urging him to get married. Suddenly, Flora's image flashed through his mind. Why couldn't there be more unique women like her in this world?Other women were always trying to stick to him, especially aiming for Mrs. Davis first. Only she would avoid him like the plague every time she saw him.Although aware of Mrs. Davis's intentions, Kevin still went back as instructed. Due to the private residence of the Davis family being located on the outskirts, it took an hour to drive home.As he drove the car in
Seeing Kevin in such a tortured state, Mrs. Davis couldn't help but scold, "Look at you, so miserable. It's just letting you get to know Betsy better. If you think she's nice, then have a good relationship with her.""Mom..." Kevin couldn't stand it and exclaimed, "Didn't I tell you? Don't worry about these things. Fate is not something you can force. Let me find it on my own.""Letting you find it on your own? I've been hearing you say this for a while now, and you still haven't found a girlfriend!" Mrs. Davis glared at him with dissatisfaction, paused for a moment, and continued, "If you don't get to know them, how do you know if you don't like them? Fate is something you need to take control of yourself and also let others play a role. Stop always disregarding it.""Mom, I understand. I'll pay attention." Kevin nodded, answering as efficiently as always.Mrs. Davis naturally knew that he was just trying to appease her, so continued, "Remember to come back early tomorrow night for d
"Oh, where is she? I'll take a taxi right away," said Flora, not expecting that the girl would be with Mark. This was Chloe's habit, she was determined not to let men accompany her home, no matter how drunk she was!"At the Lulu Bar near the company, Room 303.""Okay, you wait there, I'll go right now," Flora said, quickly hanging up the phone. Turning to Linda, she said, "You can go to sleep, I'll go and bring that girl back.""I'll go with you," Linda sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes.Flora shook her head indifferently, "No need, I can go by myself, it's not very far.""You're pregnant now, your status is different, for safety's sake, let me accompany you," Linda said while changing clothes.Flora didn't insist anymore, and so after changing clothes, the two of them quietly slipped out of the house without disturbing Auntie Grace.In the study of the Smith Family mansion, Maxwell stared at the softly creaking door with a frown. It was the woman he didn't want to see again! Just
Sitting in the taxi, Linda occasionally looked back and tugged Flora's sleeve, whispering, "Hey, Flora, I feel like someone is following us."Flora turned her head after hearing her words and glanced at the cars behind them, laughing playfully, "No way, you're just overthinking, aren't you still half asleep?"Ignoring her teasing, Linda said, "I saw that black car when we left the village earlier, and it's still there now."The driver in front suddenly chuckled, "It's normal to have someone following when you're beautiful. Let me help you get rid of them." As he spoke, he stepped on the gas pedal, maneuvering the car out of the traffic and forcefully merging into another lane.The car following behind didn't expect the sudden maneuver from the driver and drove past them.Seeing this, Linda clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Well, Mr. Driver, you're amazing! You got rid of them in an instant.""Of course, do you know how many years I've been driving a taxi?" The driver was delighted by
Flora was thrown back onto the soft seat by the force of inertia. The man's body was covered in a sea of red, spreading towards her feet. Screams instantly overflowed from her mouth, breaking through the night sky, and echoing in this silent suburb.Flora was stunned. The sound of the bullet shattering the glass reverberated in her mind, while the overwhelming red liquid stimulated her vision. She suddenly felt her chest being crushed, unable to catch her breath, and she leaned over the seat, dry heaving.After several seconds of silence, the car door was suddenly pulled open, and a flat voice sounded above her head, "Get out!"This voice... Flora trembled in fear, looked up, and saw Maxwell's cruel and handsome face amidst the darkness. He was dressed in all black, with nothing in his hands, yet he easily took the lives of two people.Flora's body involuntarily shrunk inward, as if afraid that the next one to fall in a pool of blood would be herself. This kind of death was terrifying
At the moment the door was pushed open, Maxwell's sharp gaze instinctively sharpened, focusing on her as if she were a dangerous intruder. Maxwell sat behind the desk with his eyes fixed on her, repeatedly cleaning the gun in his hand with a cloth, making it shine.Upon seeing her, Maxwell's sharp gaze softened with a tinge of guilt, no longer as terrifyingly wary. Flora's face turned pale at the sight of the gun in his hand. The sound of a bullet-shattering glass echoed in her ears once again, a sound that seemed to come from another world, mixed with ominous significance, instantly claiming the souls of those two men!She hadn't even had a chance to see how he had fired the gun. This man, she truly had to doubt whether he was even human! How could a normal person possess such astonishing skill? How could he appear so calm after killing them?Flora's body trembled uncontrollably. It was difficult to imagine that after angering him so many times, she was still alive in this world. It
"Damn it! I don't hate you anymore, okay?!" Maxwell suddenly yelled, regretting his words instantly. He lowered his head, avoiding Flora's inquisitive gaze, feeling uneasy."You don't hate me anymore? Why?" Flora's train of thought was suddenly diverted to this topic, and she felt a little ecstatic. Could it be that her expectations had come true? Was he unwilling to let her die?"I've changed from hatred to annoyance. Seeing you just annoys me!" Maxwell said with an unchanged expression. This should help salvage the slip of his tongue earlier. Seeing her sudden change in expression, he could tell that it was quite effective.Seeing her unpredictable face, Maxwell couldn't help but want to strike her, "I saved you just so I can use you to stay by Kevin's side and help me do things. Do you think I saved you because I can't bear to let you die?"Hmm, he had never spoken such a smooth lie before! It seemed that his spoken English had improved. When it came to telling big lies, not only d
