Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361: All this trouble for me

Flora set her coffee cup down on the desk and turned her attention back to the report she had been working on. The clock showed it was already past three in the afternoon, and her flight time was drawing near.

With quick movements, she finished typing the final page, then reviewed the document once more before printing it out. Gathering the sheets neatly into a file, she made her way to the manager’s office.

"You may go," the manager said after scanning through the report.

"Thank you," Flora replied with a polite smile. She had just pivoted on her heels to leave when his voice stopped her.

"It’s admirable," he remarked. "Despite your direct ties to the royal family, you still came in today to finish your work. That’s impressive dedication."

Flora smiled again, offering a soft word of thanks before stepping out. Back at her desk, she quickly finished the last sip of her coffee, tossed the cup into the bin, and packed her belongings. Rolling her trolley bag behind her, she headed for the lobby.

As she crossed the first floor, she glanced at her ticket one more time, only to bump headlong into someone.

"Sorry!" she exclaimed immediately, lifting her gaze. Her eyes widened in shock. "Zander? What are you doing here?" Her glance darted around anxiously, hoping no one from her department had noticed.

"To pick you up," Zander replied casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Come on! Let’s go before you miss your flight." Without waiting for her protest, he clasped her hand and took the trolley bag from the other.

Surprisingly, Flora didn’t resist. She followed him quietly outside, where a taxi was already waiting. They climbed in together after Zander put the bag in the car’s trunk. Shortly, the car pulled away toward the airport.

Finally, Flora turned to him. "Why are you here? I mean... how did you even get here? Weren’t you supposed to be in your pack?"

Zander leaned back, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "It’s a long story. And besides, I’m invited to the wedding."

"The wedding isn’t until two days from now," Flora reminded him.

"I know," he said simply.

She shook her head with a sigh, unable to hide the exasperated smile tugging at her lips. "You’re impossible, Zander."

"Why?" he teased, turning his gaze on her. "Do you hate that I came all the way to your office?"

"No, that’s not it." Her tone softened as her eyes met his. "I just... I don’t like that you’re taking all this trouble for me." She wasn’t going to reciprocate his feelings, which was now bothering her. If he continued such things for her, she might fall in love with him, which was the last thing she wanted to do.

Raidan stood at the entrance as he welcomed the Queen and the others. His hand reached instinctively for Mabel’s, his fingers curling around hers as he whispered, "I missed you."

Her lips curved into a smile as she stepped to his side. Raidan then embraced Gabriel firmly, the warmth of brotherhood clear in the gesture, before laying a gentle hand atop Amelie’s head—a blessing from both father and King.
