Chapter 283
Dressed in a sleek black uniform, the young man spoke with an icy tone, his eyes showing a hint of impatience. He was from the Enforcement Division When he was assigned to shadow a girl, he found this task utterly degrading. The division’s assessment competition was just around the comer, and everyone else was deep in training. Yet, here he was, stuck babysitting, even if the girlwas
his boss‘ fiancée
“My name’s Lance, Ms. Flora.”
Meanwhile, another young man in a bright yellow uniform, who had a naturally cheerful demeanor, introduced himself. He was from the Logistics Division, assigned to assist Flora, and he was genuinely happy about it. His talents weren’t exceptional, and after several years at the base, he had only made it to the lowest rank in Logistics For him, following orders was paramount. He heard that Ms. Flora was the boss‘ fiancee. It felt like hitting the jackpot for Lance.
Moss had carefully planned their assignments. Colton, skilled in combat, was perfect for protecting Flora. However, his cold and taciturn nature led Moss to also assign the ever–cheerful Lance to keep her company.
Eagerly, Lance started giving Flora a tour of the base, chatting non–stop, while Colton trailed behind them, silent and stone–faced. Apart from Yara, the head of the Medical Center, the base was filled with men. Seeing Flora, they quickly deduced she must be their boss‘ girl. People passing by greeted Flora politely.
As they moved forward from the residence and crossed a cobblestone area, they arrived at a large training ground. Behind it was a senes of neatly arranged bungalows, each with a sign: Enforcement Division, Logistics Division, Intelligence Division, and Medical Center
At the moment, many people were training hard on the grounds.
“Their training method is all wrong,” Flora commented lazily after watching for a bit
Hearing this, Colton glanced at Flora, noticing her slender arms and legs, and frowned. She clearly wasn’t a martial artist, yet she dared to make such a comment? He detested pretentiousness the most.
“Ms. Flora, you understand this stuff too? My talent isn’t great, so I couldn’t tell,” Lance said, scratching his head, looking embarrassed. “Is that girl the boss fiancée?” Yara, dressed in a lab coat, asked as she glanced over the square at Flora, narrowing her eyes. “That’s her Heard she just graduated from high school,” said the assistant, who was preparing medication nearby. He also glanced at the square before pursing his lips.
“High school graduate? She’s quite young then, Yara muttered, her thoughts unclear.
“Yeah, I wonder what the boss sees in her,” the assistant whispered, venting slightly
In fact, everyone had always thought Yara and Connor were a perfect match. Yara, the only woman at the empire base, was highly skilled in medicine, formidable in combat, and could endure hardships. She’s nothing like those delicate ladies. Many division heads thought only Yara was worthy of Connor. She wouldn’t hold him back, and she’d make a great partner.
“Alright, let’s get back to work,” Yara said softly, returning her focus.
After touring the base, Flora felt bored and unimpressed, seeing nothing but shirtless men training.
“Ms. Flora, are you bored?” Lance, noticing Flora’s lack of enthusiasm, thought for a moment and said, “Ruby Path has an underground arena. Almost everyone who comes to Ruby Path ends up trying it out. If you want, I can take you there, Ms. Flora.”
