Chapter 278
The recruitment at the medical organization had just wrapped up. This year’s batch of students wasn’t exactly stellar, but one name stood out Selene. She had the talent they were looking for and had even secured the second–highest score in the national exams.
The recruitment officer had just taken Selene under his wing and was getting ready to take her back to the States when a call came in from headquarters
“Cedarvale? Flora? Got it.” He hung up the phone with a respectful nod
“Sir, did you just mention Flora?” Selene, who was busy sorting through medical manuscripts nearby, froze at the name.
Flora’s name had been all over the place lately, and Selene was well aware of her. The recruitment officer wasn’t surprised and nodded excitedly. “Yep, Flora, the top scorer in the nation! We’ve heard she’s interested in medicine, and the higher–ups have instructed me to bring her on board.”
Even though rumors were swirling that Flora had already accepted an offer from the University of Maple Grove’s medical program, it didn’t really matter.
The medical organization was the dream destination for every aspiring doctor. Flora, hearing the chance to join, would probably be over
the moon.
This was also a perfect opportunity to knock Jules down a peg
The recruitment officer’s excitement, as if he’d struck gold, made Selene’s heart sink a bit. She’d worked so hard to get into the medical organization, and he hadn’t been nearly as thrilled when he’d recruited her.
“Come with me. W
We’ll head straight back home from Cedarvale,” he told Selerie.
Suppressing her feelings. Selene nodded.
The recruitment officer was convinced that Flora joining the medical organization was a done deal, so he tweeted: [Off to meet Flora. Welcome the medical organization.]
He even attached a picture of an airplane.
The tweet quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments.
Mr. Garcia, upon seeing the tweet, was livid. They had just announced that Flora was joining the University of Maple Grove, and here was the medical organization making such a bold statement. This felt personal:
Fuming.
Mr. Garcia took a screenshot and sent it to Jules, bombarding him with voice messages.
Minutes later, Jules replied, “Don’t worry, Flora will definitely choose the University of Maple Grove.”
Mr. Garcia thought Jules was just trying to console him, which was oddly comforting. It was nice to see Jules could be reassuring. But it still hurt to think they were about to lose such a gem.
Mr. Garcia knew deep down that when it came to medicine, the University of Maple Grove couldn’t compete with the medical organization.
After replying to Mr. Garcia, Jules sent a message to Flora [Flora, the medical organization’s people are coming for you. Did you know? Flora was chatting with Connor when she saw Jules‘ message and frowned. [What?]
[Check Twitter I reckon the medical organization’s folks are almost at your doorstep]
Upon checking Twitter, Flora saw the post from the medical organization’s recruitment office. She rubbed her wrist out of habit, a slight mocking smirk forming on her lips.
Where did the medical organization get the confidence that she would surely join them?
Tapping on the tweet, Flora seemed to recall something unpleasant, her gaze deepening.
In Class Z’s group chat, everyone was congratulating Flora, Besides those like Kaylee and Dane, who were already close to her, others were somewhat ingratiating. Being recognized by the medical organization promised immeasurable future achievements. Even Keaton and various subject teachers were congratulating her.
Flora ignored the messages in the class group, opening private chats instead. She responded to the congratulations from Keaton, Kaylee, Dane, and others.
I won’t be joining the medical organization]
