Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 702

"Shouldn’t the boss be back by now?"

After finishing a game, Beck threw down his cards and checked his watch. It was already 5:40 PM.

"He should be back any minute—"

Moss didn't even get to finish his sentence before a car horn blared outside. Instantly, he jumped up, and Beck, along with their two bodyguards, followed suit.

A sleek, dark blue Maserati rolled up and came to a stop outside the villa. Moss and Beck exchanged confused glances. Whose car was that? It definitely wasn't their boss's.

The car door swung open, and a pair of stylish boots hit the ground. The moment they saw the woman’s face, Moss and Beck’s expressions shifted dramatically.

What was Ms. Abbey doing here!?

Abbey strode purposefully toward them, Elijah at her side, flanked by a squad of bodyguards. There was no avoiding this. As she approached, Moss took the initiative to greet her, very politely, "Ms. Abbey."

Abbey nodded curtly, "Where’s Connor?"

Knowing Moss was Connor’s right-hand man, she showed him a bit of courtesy. Moss was about to answer when Beck jumped in hurriedly, "The boss went to pick up Ms. Flora from school. They’re probably grocery shopping now. They should be back soon."

He was the number one fan of the boss and Ms. Flora! After saying that, Abbey should get the hint and leave, right?

As Beck finished speaking, the atmosphere tensed up, turning awkward. Abbey’s face darkened. Mentioning Flora in front of her—wasn’t Beck just trying to rub salt in the wound? And grocery shopping? That distinguished man also goes grocery shopping? And with Flora?

"Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what our lady said?" Elijah shouted angrily. "Move aside now!"

Beck’s expression hardened, while Moss remained polite but firm, "Ms. Abbey, the boss isn’t back yet, and we don’t have the authority to let outsiders in."

Outsiders...

Abbey clenched her hand at her side, a fleeting shadow crossing her eyes.

"Our lady is no outsider!" Elijah, visibly upset, hands on hips, yelled, "The White family and the Falcone family have been engaged for generations. Our lady is to marry Mr. Connor. She will be the mistress of this villa. You're just a servant, a lackey, and you dare block her?"
