Chapter 287
Yara suddenly piped up, “Oh, by the way, the boss asked you to keep an eye on Ms. Flora. She’s alright, isn’t she?”
“She’s fine.”
“That’s a relief” Yara smiled. “Ms. Flora’s young and has been pampered her whole life. Please be careful with her and try not to upset her. You’ve only been with her for a day and she got hurt people at the base might start gossiping”
Colton frowned. “Ms. Flora, she.” He paused, then said, “She’s actually quite nice, not what youd expect.”
Yara watched in surprise as Colton walked away. She knew his temperament–he was never one to willingly protect a delicate woman. Just hours ago, he couldn’t stand Flora and now he was defending her. That Flora, she was something else.
Empire Base and The Red Scorpions often butted heads, with members frequently getting into fights. Winning or losing was just part of the game. The Red Scorpions couldn’t shamelessly keep picking fights after that. And so, the issue was dropped.
The next day
Flora slept in until the sun was high in the sky. After freshening up, she went downstairs
In the hall, Connor, the Head of Enforcement, and the Head of Medical were deep in discussion. Connor’s expression was indifferent until Flora appeared, then it instantly softened.
Yara noticed the change in his demeanor, her eyes flickering
“Til just grab something to eat from the kitchen,” Flora said, giving Connor a look before heading into the kitchen.
Connor, who had half–risen, sat back down.
Yara continued her report. “The Head of Enforcement and I have discussed the overseas shipment it’s really important. We leave the base at four in the morning. Intelligence’s Gavin will be joining us; his hacking skills are the best we’ve got..”
*Can I come along?”
Flora brought out her food and listened while eating. After Yam and the Head of Enforcement finished speaking, she politely asked, “Can I join?”
All three tumed their gazes toward her.
“Looking for a little adventure?” Connor asked softly.
Flora gasped, “Yes.”
The Head of Enforcement, Chad, twitched his mouth. Such an important task and Connor had used the word ‘adventure? Did he think this was a game?
“Then you shall have your adventure. I have matters to attend to tomorrow and can’t accompany you” Connor agreed indulgently. “Boss, escorting the shipment is tough work. Ms. Flora has been pampered since birth, I’m afraid she might not handle it” Yara said with a smile. “Ms. Flora, we’re leaving at 4:30 in the morning. Can you manage that?”
Chad snorted. Seriously, could this delicate young lady hack it?
“I can.” Flora blinked lazily.
Was it her imagination, or did Yara seem to have some animosity towards her?
After leaving the estate, the Head of Enforcement looked clearly annoyed. He couldn’t understand why the boss insisted on bringing this extra baggage along.
“Alright, since the boss has spoken, we’ll just follow orders,” Yara said, looking up at the sky. “I’ll go back and revise the plan. The route we planned before is too rough, and has too many snakes and rats; I worry Ms. Flora won’t be able to handle it”
Hearing this, the Head of Enforcement felt even worse, thinking that bringing Flora was just asking for trouble. But Yara was different Despite being a woman, she wasn’t fussy at all
Why
hadn’t the boss taken a liking to Ms. Kaylee instead?
