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

Chapter 19

Flora’s top rank was beyond question. Mr. Smith had her tackle problems to see if she could solve them.

Carina glanced at the problem. It’s from last year’s math competition. She had attempted it as well but only managed to answer the first part. She never solved the second part of the question.

Looking at the problem on the paper Flora felt a headache coming on. She truly despised math

She asked eamestly, “Can I skip this?”

Mr. Smith wore a look of hurt. “You’ve done everyone else’s Why won’t you do mine? You’re breaking my heart.”

The thirty–something male teacher shamelessly acted cute, cousing Flora’s lips to twitch involuntarily before she resignedly began to work on the problem.

Math wasn’t her strong suit, but she had a photographic memory. Any problem she had seen, she could recall and adapt solutions to similar questions on the spot

Mr. Smith watched her solution, nodding in satisfaction. Flora’s approach might not have been the most flexible, but it was faultless. He had given this set of problems to several competition hopefuls, and very few could answer all correctly.
