Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Selene whipped around to face her, "What did you just say?"

"I'm moving out tomorrow. You'll have the place to yourself," Flora replied, her voice dripping with hidden meaning. "Feel free to call whoever you like."

"Are you seriously moving out?" Selene's brows knitted together, clearly annoyed.

Flora just gave a nonchalant sigh.

"Fine, whatever," Selene said, her face a mask of indifference as she set her cup back on the table. "Pour your own drink."

She wasn't going to do it for her.

A bit miffed, Selene pulled on her sleep mask and flopped back onto the bed. But then she thought, why was she even mad? She and Flora weren't exactly besties anyway; maybe it was for the best not to live together. Plus, she'd have the whole big room to herself. She could do whatever she wanted with it.

Still, Flora was such a sellout!

Flora thought Selene's anger was pretty ridiculous and ignored her, heading off for a shower.

...

In the exec office at headquarters.

"Director, you wanted to see me?"

Kylie walked in, looking a bit worn out. She'd taken a two-hour shower when she got home today, but she still felt grimy.

Mike put on his reading glasses and glanced at Kylie, his expression remaining gentle. "Have a seat."

Kylie took a seat.

"I heard there was some friction between you and Flora, who just joined today."

Kylie's face instantly darkened.

Friction was putting it mildly.

She'd never been this humiliated in her entire life!

Even though the cafeteria staff claimed it was an accident, that they'd accidentally spilled the slop, she wasn't buying such a flimsy excuse. Flora had to be involved!

"Director, since you asked, I'll be straight with you," Kylie took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady. "Flora is too full of herself! It's her first day here, and she's already causing chaos! First, she broke Tina's arm, then she made us

look like fools in the cafeteria."

The more she talked, the angrier Kylie got, unable to hold it back. "Director, I don't think Flora fits in at our medical headquarters. With her around, it's only a matter of time before she messes everything up!" "What do you propose we do?" Mike adjusted his glasses.

"Send her back to where she came from," Kylie said, her expression turning fierce.

It's not unprecedented at the medical headquarters.

There had been cases where people who didn't make the cut were sent back home.

Mike listened quietly, shaking his head in mild disapproval.

He thought to himself, given she's a global champion, you're really going there, huh?

Sending her back would cause a huge uproar at Austenberg, wouldn't it?

While Austenberg's medical prowess isn't top-tier, it's improving fast, especially with a genius like Jules on their team.

If it blew up, it'd be a huge mess.

"Take a breather," Mike said gently. "I've looked into what happened between you and Flora; it's just a misunderstanding. Don't blow it out of proportion; it won't do you any good."

Kylie frowned, wondering what he meant by it not doing her any good.

"As for Flora, try not to rile her up.

tg

It'd be wise to get on her good side; it could really help you down the line," Mike, valuing talent, didn't want Kylie to make a big mistake, but he couldn't spell it out for her: "Ifyou can't be friends, at least don't make her an enemy."

"You want me to buddy up with her?!" Kylie was in disbelief.

How could being friends with Flora possibly benefit her?!

She couldn't wrap her head around why everyone was telling her not to mess with Flora.

Flora, a nobody without any clout, what was there to be scared of?

Mike hinted as much as he could without spilling the beans, sighing, "Just trust me on this. Plus, the Reyes and Falcone families will be visiting in a few days. You've been aiming to be the chief physician for them, right? This is your big chance."

"The Reyes and Falcone families?!"

Kylie's whole demeanor changed, eyes lighting up with excitement and anticipation!
