He saw the waitress lying on the ground, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes. He immediately dared not enter the courtyard.
"Alright, boss, your waitress wasn't a bad person to begin with; she was just controlled by an extraterrestrial evil god. We told you that before. Now come over here," Leona said to the boss.
The owner still couldn't believe his eyes. He murmured, "This...it's all over? I don't have to be forced to run a luxury hotel every day anymore?"
“Of course not, you’re not dreaming.” Rebecca said to the innkeeper as she repaired the statue. “Your inn is yours again. We’ve taken care of the problems here.”
"Are you gods?" the boss asked suddenly after a moment of surprise.
“We’re not gods, just a few people who happened to be traveling here.” Leona shrugged easily. “Don’t tell those two in the house about what happened today. It’s best to keep this to yourself. If others find out and report it to the Vatican, I don’t know what they’ll do to you.”
"Thank you... I... I..." The owner finally entered his inn. At this moment, he could intuitively sense that the dark aura that used to shroud his inn had disappeared, which made him burst into tears.
"Don't think too much, boss. Just serve the two people inside well to repay us." Sophia silently came to the boss's side, patted him on the shoulder, and startled him.
"I will definitely repay you! I will definitely repay you!" The boss nodded repeatedly.
Chapter 359 Unexpected Enthusiasm
Abyss led Flora out of the room.
"Hey, you're out here." Leona was sitting in the hotel lobby when she saw Abyss and Flora, and raised her hand to greet them.
Abyss smiled at the four girls sitting in the hall.
He already knew everything that had just happened, but of course, he hadn't said a word to Flora.
Everyone tacitly agreed that tonight's operation was a great success, and everyone perfectly protected Flora's hard-won holiday.
"Everyone's here?" Flora was delighted to see everyone sitting in the hall. "I thought you had all gone to rest, and now I can't see you all."
"We're just resting right now, chatting here," Leona said with a smile, waving her hand. "It's too stuffy staying in the room."
"Yeah, Abyss and I are going out for a walk too. It's really getting a bit boring staying in the room at night..."
"Ah, miss, you're out. Are you satisfied with your hotel room?"
Before Flora could finish speaking, the innkeeper came out from the inner room and asked solicitously.
"Huh? Ah... I'm very satisfied." Flora was a little taken aback by her boss's sudden concern and replied somewhat flusteredly, "Is there something you need?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to make sure you're comfortable at my inn." The innkeeper quickly waved his hand, but his respectful expression remained unchanged. "If you two would like to go for a walk, I can take you to some interesting places in town, or give you directions."
“We’d like two people, so we won’t trouble you to show us the way. Please tell us where in town we could go for an evening stroll,” Abis said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" the shopkeeper readily agreed, and then pulled out a hand-drawn map of the town from his pocket, on which he meticulously marked several places worth taking an evening stroll.
Flora took the map from the shopkeeper, looking at the ink that wasn't completely dry, and was somewhat surprised: "Did you just draw this map? This... how could I trouble you like this?"
"It's no trouble at all, it's my duty." The boss's smile remained bright. "As long as you're satisfied, I'll be very proud."
"Ah... thank you so much, your hotel truly lives up to its reputation as a high-class hotel." Flora was somewhat flattered. She was already quite content to stay in this elegant hotel, but she never expected the owner to be so enthusiastic in helping her.
“This isn’t a fancy hotel, it isn’t,” the owner immediately replied. “I’m just doing my best to serve you.”
"Huh?" Flora was confused again. Didn't the owner keep emphasizing that his hotel was a high-end hotel and keep using the word "high-end"? Why is he suddenly not saying that now?
However, Flora secretly breathed a sigh of relief: she had initially suspected that the boss might be a puppet of an evil god or something, after all, he had an obsession with the concept of "high-end". Now that the boss was no longer emphasizing that thing that might be an obsession, she could rule out the danger that he was a puppet of an evil god.
Although she didn't know why the boss had suddenly become so attentive, Flora wouldn't let his kindness go to waste. She bowed to the boss and said, "I'm a little flattered, but I still want to thank you for your care. You're getting on in years, so you should get some rest."
"Miss is too considerate." The boss returned the gesture gratefully.
At this moment, the chef and apprentice also arrived.
The chef and his apprentice both beamed with joy, as if they had just experienced some great human happiness.
"Miss, sir, would you like any late-night snacks or treats? We'll prepare the best for you," the chef said.
“Chef?” Flora quickly shook her head. “No…no need. It’s so late, why aren’t you resting yet? You don’t need to serve me like this.”
"We're ready to work anytime to ensure your satisfaction, Miss," the chef said with a smile. "We can make anything you want to eat, whenever you need it. And of course, the same goes for you, sir."
"No...no need, eating too much at night will make you fat." Flora smiled with a hint of doubt, glancing at the other girls sitting there, smiling but saying nothing.
What did they say to the hotel staff? Why did they suddenly become so enthusiastic?
The other girls naturally wouldn't tell Flora about what happened tonight. Leona gave Flora a reassuring gesture, letting her enjoy the services of the hotel staff without worry.
"Could you please make some snacks for my maids?" Abyss said at this point. "We can skip it; it's getting late."
"Of course, no problem." The chef bowed deeply.
The apprentice was also beside him, and followed his master's example by bowing to Abyss and Flora.
Flora, her mind full of questions, was led out of the hotel by Abyss. She looked at Abyss with a puzzled expression and asked, "Abyss, do you know why they've suddenly become so enthusiastic?"
“It’s probably because Leona and the others did some work for the hotel,” Abyss chuckled. “Of course, I didn’t let them throw money at the hotel; that wouldn’t be interesting.”
"Oh...is that so..." Although Flora had not yet dispelled all her doubts, she had no choice but to follow Abyss to some places in town suitable for sitting in the evening.
……
Although Rebecca and her companions did the hotel owner and chefs a great favor, they did not ask for any material compensation, and these extra services were all added voluntarily by them.
The waitress still needs to recover, and she has been moved to the hotel's lounge to rest. Although she had previously been in charge of everyone at the hotel, the owner agreed to let her continue working there after learning that she had recovered.
The waitress, who had long been homeless, was very grateful to her boss for taking her in, and she would return to her duties once she recovered.
The hotel will no longer be fixated on catering to "high-end" guests. The owner tells Rebecca that true luxury lies in the hotel's sincerity in serving its guests. The chef and apprentice also plan to stay at the hotel to hone their culinary skills, and later follow the owner to a larger city to run a bigger new hotel.
……
As Flora walked out of the hotel and into the night with Abyss, she became somewhat nervous, constantly stealing glances at Abyss's face beside her.
Tonight, she has another important decision that she cannot tell anyone.
Chapter 360 Moonlight and Little Thoughts
The town was quiet at night. Most of the residents had already turned off their lights and gone to sleep. Apart from Abyss and Flora, there were no other people wandering around outside.
Abyss and Flora walked hand in hand through the streets of the town.
Although Flora had held hands with the Abyss more than once, it was usually when the Abyss was taking her somewhere.
This is the first time the two of them have ever strolled leisurely through the streets, enjoying the enchanting night view, without any clear destination or anything to do.
"This town may be small, but it's quite beautiful," Abis said with a smile, looking at Flora beside him. "How are you feeling? Are you cold at night?"
The early autumn wind carried a coolness different from that of summer, but Flora didn't feel cold at all; the warmth emanating from the center of Abyss's palm made her feel very comfortable.
"It's not cold," Flora replied softly. "Are we just going to walk around here like this? Don't we have anywhere to go?"
"You're not used to it?" Abyss laughed, reaching out to gently pinch Flora's nose. "Yeah, I don't really have anywhere I want to go right now. I've already memorized the places the boss marked that are good for the evening. Let's go there in a bit."
"Ah...okay." Flora was a little nervous at being treated so affectionately by Abyss, but a sweet smile still appeared on her face.
"Want to have a chat?" Abis thought for a moment. "I can tell you anything I know."
“No need,” Flora shook her head. “Can we just walk together quietly like this?”
This holiday was hard-won, and Flora just wanted to savor a little longer of this quiet time alone with Abyss. Bathed in moonlight, the two walked silently together, creating a unique kind of romance.
As for chatting, Flora felt it was unnecessary; she and the Abyss were already on the same wavelength.
She glanced at the Abyss beside her. The Abyss's clean face, illuminated by the bright moonlight, appeared even whiter, captivating her for a moment. The Abyss had worn a beautiful headdress earlier that day, adorned with a luminous pearl, adding a touch of mystery to his simple attire—a feeling that Flora found irresistible.
To be honest, Flora also had her own standards of beauty when she was alive. She used to like athletic and sunny guys, but she later fell in love with the Abyss and realized that when you fall hopelessly in love with someone, all your previous standards of beauty may become invalid. In your heart, this person is the most beautiful, the benchmark of beauty in the world.
Thinking about tonight's plans, Flora's heart pounded with excitement, her girlish heart pounding wildly.
Tonight, she wants to kiss Abyss on a quiet, beautiful street in this small town.
She had never made such a bold plan before; at most, she would only think about it in her mind. The Abyss was usually busy with affairs and rarely had any free time, so Flora naturally wouldn't let herself be idle either, always doing this and that.
Today...maybe there will be an opportunity.
And the Abyss should be willing too.
“Abyss…” Flora called out to Abyss.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Abis smiled and turned his head.
Flora blushed: "Um...it's nothing...let's go to the town square."
“Of course.” Abis nodded. “Then let’s go over there. I’ve heard that the pool in the square is beautiful on moonlit nights.”
……
The town was really small; the two of them hadn't walked far before they arrived at the town square that the boss had mentioned earlier.
The square was smaller than the front yard of a nobleman's house, but it was still beautifully decorated. The ground was covered with pebbles of various colors, and the flower beds around it were planted with all kinds of colorful flowers. In the center of the square was a pool with a fountain that looked like it hadn't been used for a long time. An old statue of an empress stood there, telling those who saw it that this town had been visited by the first emperor of the Western Empire three hundred years ago.
"The environment here is quite nice," Abis nodded in satisfaction. "The moonlight shines into this pool, creating a beautiful effect."
“Mmm. I like nights like this.” Flora gazed at the moon. “The moonlight is so beautiful… um… Abyss…”
"What's wrong?" Abyss looked over with a smile.
I want you to kiss me.
These words had echoed in Flora's mind thousands of times, but she just couldn't bring herself to say them; it was just too embarrassing.
Come on, Flora, you can do it! This should be easy to say. You already confessed to the Abyss before, so why can't you do it now?
Come on, Abyss, can you sense my feelings? I want to give you my most precious first kiss.
She kept repeating it to herself, but her mouth wouldn't listen, and the words that came out were completely different from what she was thinking.
"It's alright... Shall we sit by the pool for a while?"
“Okay.” Abyss then led Flora to the pool and sat down on its edge.
The pool emitted a warm, moist mist, which felt very comfortable on Flora's skin on this somewhat dry autumn night.
Sigh... I just can't bring myself to say it.
Or... let's save it for next time. I'll definitely muster up the courage next time.
Perhaps feelings need time to develop, just like a barrel of fine wine, which needs to be aged for a while to become more fragrant and mellow.
