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

Chapter 1388

Louise had this nagging feeling in her gut, like something wasn't quite right... Could it be...?

She quickly dismissed the thought. No way! The plan was solid, airtight. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

But as more and more parents filed out, her anxiety started to creep up. Her nerves were getting the best of her.

Unable to sit still any longer, she jumped up and approached one of the parents, putting on her best casual face. "Excuse me, ma'am, what's going on? Everyone seems so on edge."

The parent, dressed to the nines but with an air of trying too hard, looked at Louise with thinly veiled irritation. She might not have given Louise the time of day if she wasn't obviously a student.
