Abbey was putting on quite the performance of graciousness, but Flora couldn't care less. With her jaw slightly clenched and her face devoid of any particular expression, she stared at Abbey, a touch of mockery gleaming in her slightly raised eyes. Despite hating her guts, Abbey kept up the pretense of being on good terms. How exhausting must that be?

Abbey clearly saw the scorn in Flora's eyes. Her own eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a chill, but she was skilled at hiding it. To everyone else, it looked like Flora was the arrogant one, brushing off Abbey's friendly gestures. This really ticked off Abbey's supporters!

"What's with Flora's attitude? Ms. Abbey is going out of her way to greet her, and she just snubs her! Where does she get her confidence? Ms. Abbey's background and medical skills are way ahead of hers!"

"Exactly! Ms. Abbey is so accomplished yet remains humble and polite. Flora achieves a little and suddenly she's too good for everyone!"

They glared daggers at Flora, wishing they could tear her apart with their eyes.

"Ms. Abbey, we'll give it our all. Thank you for your concern. Flora just isn't much of a talker; please don't take it personally," Shawn quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over. His Flora was perfect in every way, except her personality... which could easily rub people the wrong way.

Still, he found it odd. Flora was usually just reserved but genuinely kind. Yet, when it came to Abbey, she didn't bother hiding her disdain. Was there some history between them?

Abbey gave Shawn a cryptic look but said nothing, then turned and walked away briskly.

She'd achieved her goal and saw no reason to hang around.
