Chapter 95
The next day, during class, Jade found herself constantly glancing towards Flora’s seat.
After Jade left the other day, she wasn’t sure what had transpired between Aaron and Florn, but it seemed like nothing much had happened.
Just as she looked towards Flora again, Flora, who had been looking down, suddenly lifted her head and gazed back leisurely
She sported a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and her eyes sparkled with an all–knowing light.
Jade’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away
After class, she hurried off as if chased by a ghost.
*Flora… could you check if this is okay…” Kaylee’s timid voice came through, placing a design draft on Flora’s desk.
“Your color scheme… could use some adjustments.” Flora glanced over and commented, “The decorations on the shoulders are a bit too cumbersome. It doesn’t match the overall design style. Maybe you could…”
Kaylee listened intently, her eyes sparkling brighter with every word.
“Flora, you’re amazing! You know so much about fashion design, too!” Kaylee exclaimed excitedly, “Why don’t you join me in the competition? You’re really talented. Perhaps Rose might notice you and take you on as an apprentice
Flora replied, “Il pass.”
Kaylee didn’t press further. With less than half a month to the first selection round, she stayed up nights after finishing her homework to complete the design draft.
After school, Flora made plans to have dinner with Connor. She had stood him up the day before. She promised to have dinner together but never showed up.
“I’ve got some matters to attend to. Can’t have dinner with you…” Connor apologized.
*Then, I guess (1l head back. Flora deliberately sounded exceptionally disappointed.
She was just teasing Connor for fun, but he took it seriously. “Flora, would you like to go horseback riding? I’m at the Brimer family’s stables, I can have someone pick you up if you want.”
“Sure!” Flon’s eyes lit up instantly.
At the Brimer family’s stables.
“Connor, who are you chatting with so intimately?” Yvonne arrived to see Connor on his phone, speaking in a tender tone she had never heard before.
While feeling jealous, she also thought Connor was just as she suspected, despite his usual aloofness, he’d be utterly doting towards the girl he liked
Once Connor fell for her, he’d speak to her in that same indulgent tone, too!
Connor put away his phone and glanced indifferently at her, ignoring her and heading straight to where Ray was.
Yvonne stomped her foot in frustration!
“Miss Yvonne, don’t be upset. That’s just how Connor is. Let’s go for a horse race together?” Carina approached, smiling
“A race with me? Seriously? Do you know who I am?”
Yvonne, already in a bad mood from being ignored by Connor, lashed out at Carina, treating her as an outlet for her frustration. Carina was nothing but a nobody brought along by her brother
Carina’s face tumed pale, but she tried her best to keep smiling.
Flora arrived at the Brimer family’s stables with Moss and spotted Connor from afar. She excitedly waved, “Connor!”
She ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.
Flora’s momentum pushed Connor back/several steps before he steadied himself. His eyes showed a mix of helplessness and affection
He took Flora’s backpack and slung if over his shoulder. He held her hand and led her to the resting area.
Yvonne watched, her expression contorting with jealousy.
Who was this girl? Why did Connor treat her so specially?
“She’s Flora, Connor’s… fiancée, Carina chimed in from the side.
10:08
Flora and Connor’s engagement was a secret to many
Due to the evident relationship between Ray and Connor, Yvonne had heard bits and pieces.
That girl was Connor’s fiancée?! Wasn’t she supposed to be unattractive?
