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

Chapter 959

"Hey, what's up?" Jaden wrapped an arm around her, his voice gentle, as his gaze flickered over to Flora, a hint of curiosity lighting his eyes. He didn't mean to stare, but Flora was just too captivating, making Candace seem a bit ordinary by comparison.

But then, his eyes caught Beck standing behind Flora. His warm smile faltered for a moment. Beck, Connor's right-hand guy, was there with a woman. Could she be the mysterious fiancée Connor had mentioned? The same woman Candace claimed had tried to

embarrass her? Just like that, any admiration he had for Flora fizzled out.

"Mr. Smith," the store manager greeted Jaden warmly. Jaden was known for his easygoing nature and was well-liked, even in the more questionable circles.

"Oh, it's nothing," Candace replied with a forced smile to Jaden's question. "I just spotted a piece of jade I thought Nathan would like. Not sure if he'd actually be into it, though."

"It's the thought that counts. Grandpa will definitely appreciate it," Jaden chuckled, giving her cheek a playful pinch. "I'll cover it."

"No need," Candace winked cheekily. "Didn't you give me that black card? I'll just use that."

The store manager looked at Candace with a mixture of feelings. She'd gone from fierce like a lioness to acting all innocent like a bunny. And yet, Jaden always fell for her antics.

Candace flirted with Jaden, not caring who was watching-it was more about showing off. Like Flora, she relied on a man for her status. But her man really loved her, unlike Flora's situation. No matter how stunning Flora was, Connor might just see her as a temporary fling.

Candace shot Jaden a sweet smile and opened her purse to grab the black card. But it was gone! Her face went pale as she frantically rummaged through her bag. No sign of the card.
