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

Chapter 1433

Tyler had always been the kind of guy who knew exactly what he wanted. The moment he stepped out of the rehab center, he had a plan in mind.

He plopped down on the bench across from Fiona, sitting up as straight as a board. "I want to go back to school. All I need from you is a little help snagging a spot. I'll handle the tuition and living expenses on my own. Plus, everything I'm using now-your stuff, your money I'll repay you tenfold someday."

He wasn't one to mooch without paying his dues.

Hearing his no-nonsense tone, Fiona paused mid-sip, her drink halfway to her lips. She adjusted, hugging a pillow to find a comfier spot, and stayed quiet.

Tyler couldn't quite read her reaction and worried he might've overstepped with his request. "If getting a spot is tricky," he added, "just introduce me to Mr. Garcia. I'm sure once he meets me, I'll be in."

No school would turn down a prodigy, and he knew he was just that—a prodigy.

"You're pretty sure of yourself, huh?" Fiona chuckled. "I like your confidence about paying back, but I'm not thrilled with the rest."

Tyler gave her a puzzled look.

"I got you out of there, so you're with me now. Forget about tuition and living expenses. If you're going to school, focus on that. No side hustles, got it?"
