Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 700

Darcy's jaw dropped, murmuring, "Flora, you're amazing. You solved that tough problem just by glancing at it."

Flora looked at them with a hint of complexity in her eyes: "That problem was actually pretty easy."

Darcy: "…"

Shawn: "…"

Alright then. Guess we're the clueless ones here.

At five o'clock sharp, Flora stood up from her chair, slinging her backpack over her shoulder. "That's it for today, I'm heading home."

Not a moment to spare. Connor was almost downstairs, and she couldn't keep him waiting.

...

At the airport,

The plane touched down right on time at five.

Mr. Tanner and his team had been waiting for a while.

By ten past five, they finally saw a group of people slowly emerging.

Leading the group was a woman in a khaki trench coat and jeans. Her chestnut hair was loosely tied with a ribbon, and as the wind blew, it added a touch of disheveled charm that was quite captivating.

She was tall, easily five foot seven, with a poised and steady gait that only someone from high society could possess.

Mr. Tanner hurriedly approached: "Ms. Abbey, right?"

Abbey removed her sunglasses and nodded coolly, not even sparing Mr. Tanner a glance.

Her demeanor was aloof, but she had the status to back it up.

With her profile, she could pretty much do as she pleased in Austenberg.

"Are you Joy?" Her gaze swept lightly across the crowd, finally settling on Joy.

Everyone's eyes followed hers, landing on Joy.

Expressions varied.

"Ms. Abbey, I've booked a hotel for you. Let me take you there now," Mr. Tanner offered politely.

"We don't just stay in any hotel. Who knows if the one you booked is clean. We only stay in private villas," her assistant Elijah said arrogantly, looking down on them.

Mr. Tanner and the others' expressions turned icy.

Even with their patience, such disrespect was hard to swallow.

"Shut up," Abbey chided softly.

Elijah immediately fell silent.

"Mr. Tanner, my people lack manners, please don't take it to heart."

Though Abbey was apologizing, there wasn't a hint of sincerity in her tone.

Her apology was more of a formality, just being polite.

Mr. Tanner's smile faded. Even a servant dared to speak to them in such a manner. What did Abbey think of them?
