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

"Ha! I think so too. You're definitely a shoo-in for the National Medical School," another chimed in.

"Our Flora is all about keeping a low profile. Even when she aces it, she wouldn't brag, unlike some who can't even pass and still mock others," they said, taking a jab while congratulating Flora.
