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

Cecelia set the tea set on the coffee table, then squatted down a bit to pour a cup of tea for Flora and Henrik.

"Ms. Flora, I'm really sorry... I had no idea who you were earlier, that's why I... You're so gracious, please don't hold it against me, okay?"

Cecelia's face was downcast, almost in tears.

Flora raised an eyebrow but stayed silent.

Cecelia continued, "I was completely clueless, it's my fault. Please don't hold it against me! Ms. Flora, tell me, what can I do to make it up to you? Or, if you want, you can give me a good scolding! I won't fight back! And don't worry about hurting me, I can take it!"

Flora still said nothing.

Henrik, catching on, glanced between Flora and Cecelia, then asked Flora, "Did you have a falling out with her?"

Seeing Cecelia on the verge of tears, Flora clicked her tongue, "A little, but it's not a big deal."

"Ms. Flora, does that mean you forgive me?"

Cecelia's eyes lit up with hope!

"No."

Flora crushed her hopes.
