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

As the crowd was busy making fun of Flora and Team Austenberg, the electronic screens that had been dark all around suddenly flickered to life. Everyone turned their heads, thinking there was some big announcement from the event organizers.

Backstage, the multimedia staff were just as confused.

"What the heck? I didn't press anything," one of them muttered, staring at the screens in disbelief.

"What's going on?" The host rushed in, looking frantic.

"I don't know..." the staff member replied, still pressing buttons in vain.

At that moment, a video began to play on the screens.

In the video, Abbey and two people with staff badges were focused on a computer.

"There's a contestant with a perfect score!" one of them exclaimed, causing Abbey and the other staff member to crowd around.

"What? Who got a perfect score? I thought Joy was the top scorer?"

"Yeah, Joy only got a 91."

The crowd was buzzing with confusion.

Mr. Tanner shot up from his seat, eyes glued to the screen.

The video kept playing.
