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

Disciples from the medical organization started wandering around the lab.

"Hey there, I'm Orla. Can you show me around?" A young woman approached Shawn.

With her ear-length bob and straight bangs, accented by a bunny hair clip, her single-lidded but large eyes made her look incredibly adorable. Her voice was as sweet as honey when she called him "brother." Originally, Orla wasn't supposed to be there, but her sister Susan had an emergency, leaving a spot for her to fill. Of all the people, Shawn caught her eye.

"Darcy, could you take her around?" Shawn said, not wanting to escort her himself. He had to help Flora in the storage room.

Orla's expression briefly turned cold when she was handed off to someone else, but she quickly resumed her cheerful demeanor, looking innocent and harmless: "Thank you so much, Darcy."

"You're welcome."

"Ms. Selene, do you remember me? We've met before. Feel free to ask me anything you wish to know," Alexa eagerly approached Selene, her tone full of enthusiasm.

Selene looked around but didn't see Flora. "Where's Flora?"

Alexa's face fell. She had greeted Selene, but without so much as a glance in her direction, Selene immediately asked about Flora.

"Um... I'm not sure..." She pursed her lips, adding, "Flora rarely comes to the lab, so I don't know where she is."

Alexa knew Flora was in the storage room but deliberately misled Selene to give the impression that Flora was irresponsible and unacademic. Nevertheless, Selene didn't show any signs of displeasure, only a hint of resignation.

That's just her style.

"Just have a look around; I don't need company." Selene didn't like Alexa and walked off quickly, signaling for Alexa not to follow.

The reporters, desperate for material, quickly followed them with their cameras.

"Is this your latest equipment?" Orla pointed at a device, asking Darcy innocently.

When Darcy nodded, Orla widened her eyes in surprise. "Ah... This is your latest equipment? I remember we got this six months ago, and we've already upgraded to newer ones."

Darcy's expression soured instantly.

"Did you write this paper?" Orla picked up a paper from Darcy's table, frowning. "I don't quite get your choice of topic. Look, there are issues with these data points, and here, and here..." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Orla pointed out several mistakes, none of which were major and could be easily corrected. However, she exaggerated her tone in a way that, though appearing naive, completely fooled the reporters.

The way they looked at Darcy changed.

Is this the standard of a top institution? Hardly impressive.

Comparing themselves with the medical organization? That would be an embarrassment.

Darcy glared at Orla, internally cursing her as a manipulative charmer.

Orla kept her innocent smile. "I'm sorry, Darcy didn't mean to criticize your paper it's just that professional issues make me serious. This paper if it were submitted to the medical organization, it would be

tossed in the bin."

"You!"

Darcy was livid, turning both pale and green, but with the reporters present, she couldn't express her anger.

"ViVi, stop talking nonsense."
