âWell, looking at your unique work attitude, itâs no surprise that the stall here are also careless, creating negative publicity for the Company. âKevan sarcastically remarked.
He felt a sense of disdain and had no intention of engaging with these individuals any longer. So, he merely said, âYou have half an hour to go through the resignation procedures, and if anyone is still here after that security will come and help you pack your things.â
Reluctantly, the remaining staff of the housekeeping department began to move slowly. However, Lotus still couldnât accept the outcome. She seized the general manager after Kevan had left and asked Indignantly, âMr. Chance, who was that strange person earlier? What authority does he have to fire us?
Who gave him that power?â
It was only at that moment that the general manager started to reflect on himself. How could he have been so blind as to promote Lotus to the housekeeping department manager?
âThat was Mr. Rogers,â he replied, shaking off her hand and giving her a cold glare. âHeâs in charge of all the hotels under the Company. So, who do you think gave him the power to fire you?â
Lotus was stunned and could feel her heart sinking gradually upon realizing she had offended such an influential person.
The general managerâs resentment slowly turned into satisfaction as he looked at her shocked and clueless expression, and his words grew sharper. âI heard from the front desk that Mr. Rogers came here with Ms. Seymour. So. not only me, but he also heard every word you said. I advise you to pursue a different career alter leaving the hotel. Knowing Mr. Rogers, you wonât be able to find a job in the hotel industry in this country. And as for all of you. He glanced across the room at the other stall, who were just as terrified as Lotus, and continued. âContinue following your manager and kissing her smelly as s!â
Larissa sat alone in the room, feeling restless. Despite Lotus hanging up the phone midway, Larissa had heard everything she needed to hear. Kevan had fired everyone in the housekeeping department, likely because Lotus had stood her up. The quilt and remorse weighed heavily on Larissa when she realized that her actions had caused an entire department to lose their jobs.
After informing the Company about the situation at Barthamâs Regal Dynasty Hotel and instructing them to arrange for someone to take over as soon as possible, Kevan finally returned to the room. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Larissa sitting on the living room couch, furrowing her brows
âWhy arenât you asleep yet?â he asked in a surprised tone.
Well how could she possibly fall asleep?
âMs. Lotus was on the phone with me when you went to find her.â She looked up and met his gaze.
Indeed, he had witnessed the moment when Lotus hastily hung up the phone, but he didnât expect it to be Larissa on the other end of the call However, he intended to tell her what he had done, so it didnât matter if she already knew about it.
âI have fired everyone in the housekeeping department. Until the new employees are in place, you may need to temporarily take over the managerâs position.â This shouldnât be difficult for Larissa
âThe scheduled meeting with the management of the housekeeping department this afternoon is canceled, and the work plan for tomorrow will proceed as usual. Also, your stay here will be extended for another week, I will communicate this with your superiors, so you donât have to worry about your work at Covenford.â
However, Larissa didnât pay much attention to what he said. She only cared about one thing. Hence, she asked, âDid you fire Lotus because of me?â
Kevan denied without hesitation, âNo.â
He knew the truth would put immense pressure on Larissa, and knowing her personality, she would undoubtedly plead for those people. He didnât want to put himself in such a dilemma.
âBut I canât say Itâs completely unrelated. Rather, I should say you are the catalyst,â he clarified.
âWhat do you mean?â She finally managed to locus after hearing that.
