"Flora, sweetheart, do you have a boyfriend? How about | introduce you to my son?" Chelsea asked, rubbing her
hands excitedly as she looked Flora over with growing approval. "My son may not be the most extraordinary guy
out there, but in the Corporate World, he's quite a big deal!" Many young ladies would jump at the chance to join
their family, but Chelsea only had eyes for Flora. The more Chelsea spoke, the more convinced she became. "My
son's nis Shadow, and he's the captain of the First Squad in the Enforcement Division! I'll bring him
around to meet you when he's got stime, what do you say?"
The other high-society ladies shot envious glances their way. Many of them had daughters they'd love to marry
into the Donovan family, but it was Flora, the newcomer from the mundane world, who caught their attention.
And Flora, she really did have something special about her.
When Flora heard the nShadow, she couldn't help but feel exasperated. Shadow? What a twist of fate. Just a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfew days ago, she had left him unable to stand after a sparring match.
"Alright then, it's settled. When he's free, I'll bring him over to meet you!" Chelsea decided enthusiastically.
Flora quickly interjected, "No, no, Chelsea, | really appreciate the offer, but | already have a boyfriend, and he's
from the Corporate World too."
Mae, sitting nearby, suddenly straightened up. Flora has a boyfriend? Since when? Didn't she just arrive in the
Corporate World?!
"Oh, really? Well, alright..." Chelsea said, sounding a bit let down. But then she thought, what did it matter if
Flora had a boyfriend? They weren't married. Her son was exceptional; he could certainly win Flora over!
If Shadow knew what Chelsea was plotting, he'd probably be terrified. Mom, please don't do this to me, | might
get into serious trouble!
Once the high-society ladies left, Flora was about to head back to her room when Mae stopped her, looking
serious. "Flora, dear, tell me, what's your boyfriend's name?"
Concerned Flora might be getting duped, Mae was eager to know. Flora, knowing Mae truly cared for her, didn't
hold back. "His nis Connor."
Mae was speechless. A nshe had never heard before. Flora must be getting tricked.
The next morning, Flora headed to the Medical Hall. Corbyn had jokingly threatened that if she didn't show up,
he'd harm himself with a block of tofu.
"Flora, you've got snerve
showing up here!" Sydney snapped as soon as she saw Flora, her expression turning sour. Her knees were still
aching, and yet Flora had the audacity to cback.
Flora just smiled at her, eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, yelling at me? Guess your knees aren't hurting
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanymore. Or are you looking for another punishment?"
"You!" Sydney gritted her teeth in frustration. She dared to bring that up! If it weren't for Flora, she wouldn't
have been on her knees all night!
"What's all this racket?" Corbyn cdown the stairs, his disapproving gaze landing on Sydney. "Haven't you
learned any manners yet? Didn't last time's lesson teach you anything?"
Sydney shrank back at the sight of
Corbyn, though she still felt defiant inside. "Boss, you shouldn't get too close to Flora. She just happened to save
you on her first day in the Corporate World. How often does that happen by chance?"
Biting her lip, Sydney added bitterly, "Boss, | think Flora has an agenda. Be careful!"
Corbyn's eyebrows twitched as he listened to her wild accusations, and he chuckled dryly. "Seems you're the one
trying to get close to me. But do you seegiving you any attention?"
