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

"I can't stand you, and we just don't get along, but I never intended to harm you or your family. I've already pleaded with Mr. Otto for you. If you just apologize to him in person, he'll let this go," Alexa said, noting Flora's silence with a touch of uncertainty. "Flora, seriously, you can't just ignore your family's well-being, can you?"

She knew Flora cared deeply about her family and used this to provoke her.

Seeing Flora's feigned calm, Flora chuckled, "Alexa, do you think I'm that naive?"

Alexa's eyes narrowed.

"He sent you, didn't he? He needs something from me."

Alexa hadn't expected Flora to catch on so quickly.

Since Flora had figured it out, there was no point in pretending any longer. Alexa bluntly said, "Flora, I'm offering you a way out. Do you really think you can stand against Mr. Otto? Aren't you afraid of your family ending up in ruins?"

"Just swallow your pride, apologize to Mr. Otto, and this will all blow over, won't it?"

"Seems like what he wants from me isn't simple," Flora remarked, staring at her for a moment.
