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

Sophie:

"..."

Holden kept pressing her buttons: "I told you to chill out a bit, didn't I? Now look, you're regretting it, aren't you?"

Sophie, looking like she'd just seen a ghost, was on the brink of tears: "..."

Meanwhile...

Flora glanced at the scrolling content on her computer and frowned, her eyebrows knitting together: "The folks you trained aren't really up to scratch, are they?"

What a mess.

Jules took the critique without a fuss, sensing Flora was in a bad mood.

Sophie had just walked in and overheard, making her heart sink.

Well, there it was.

Her work really didn't cut it in front of Jules's boss.

It was practically trash.

Thinking back to how she'd been annoyed at Flora earlier, Sophie felt like crying even more.

Flora cleared the old code, her fingers dancing on the keyboard as she started cracking the location.

"Uh... boss," Holden, still unsure of Flora's name because he hadn't caught what Mr. Tanner and Mr. Richard called her, just followed Jules in calling her boss: "We had a run-in with someone earlier, and couldn't get the upper hand for half an hour. Be careful, he's pretty skilled at-"

Before he could finish, Flora hit the Enter key.

Kruiz's location popped up on the screen.

The whole thing took less than two minutes. Holden: "..."

Words failed him.

The room went silent.

Did she just crack it like that?

Wasn't it supposed to be tough?

With her, it seemed like child's play.

Mr. Richard puffed out his chest proudly.

His girl!

His!

Hehehe!

"The target's in the western suburbs; get the team over there." Flora slipped her hands into her pockets, speaking nonchalantly. The cops, hearing this, hustled their team to the western suburbs. "Boss..."

A timid voice piped up as Sophie nervously approached.

Jules gave her a light kick: "Who are you calling, huh?" This was his boss.

Sophie pouted, wondering why the kick.

If even Jules called her boss, what else was she supposed to call her?

She mumbled an apology, barely audible "Boss... I'm sorry, I c mean it earlier, I wasn't

belittle or disrespect you het

By the end of it, Sophie was nearly in tears.

Who would've thought this young lady was the boss Jules was always talking about?

She had actually offended her earlier.

Jules was a bit bewildered but got the gist.

No wonder the boss was so ticked off earlier; it was his people that had upset her.

"You looked down on her?" Jules, never one to sugarcoat with his own, gave her another light kick. Sophie didn't dare make a peep.

"Boss, I'll set her straight when we get back, don't be mad, alright?" Jules coaxed Flora: "After this is sorted, I'll buy you two bags of Taylor's crispy biscuits and @cup of milk tea, sound good?"

Flora raised an eyebrow: "Hmm."

Seems like a deal.

...

Soon enough, a squad of officers rushed to the western suburbs.

Flora, Jules, and the others tagged along.

The target, quick on their feet, bolted once they realized they'd been found out.

They needed to relocate.

The signal was deliberately weakened on the other end; the hotel was too far from the western suburbs to catch it, so the officers

turned to Flora for help, asking her to come to the western suburbs.

"Ms. Flora."

As soon as she arrived, everyone there greeted her with respect.

After the hotel incident, no one dared disrespect Flora.

This shining star of the medical field also had a strong connection with the president of the National Computing Association. "Flora, my girl!" Mr. Valerio was all smiles seeing Flora: "Stick behind me from now on, I've got your back!"

He had just heard from his team that Flora cracked the location; his respect for her skyrocketed.

Wasn't this girl supposed to be a med student?

Yet her computer skills were top-notch.

Ah.

If she were part of their police force, tracking down criminals would be a breeze. They were in desperate need of a computer whiz. But that was a pipe dream.

Guarded by those fanatics in the medical community, if he tried to snatch her away, they'd probably stab him with a needle each. "The special forces will be here soon, once they arrive, we'll kick off the rescue mission," Mr. Valerio announced.
