Chapter 288 At four in the moming the next day, everyone was ready to roll, and Flora showed up right on time.
Colton and Lance, being her personal bodyguards, naturally tagged along.
The Enforcement Chief glanced at the heaps of bags Colton and Lance were lugging, his brow furrowing.
"So much stuff, does Ms. Flora think this is a vacation or something?" he thought, shaking his head. Out of sight, out of mind, he decided, and after getting everyone organized, they set off.
"Ms. Kaylee, aren't we moving a bit too slowly?" the Enforcement Chief couldn't help but ask. Five hours had already passed since they'd left, and usually, they'd be nearing the border by now, but they were still stuck in Ruby Path.

By eleven, they finally reached the border and met Adler.
The border was a dusty mess A scruffy man with a beard squatted on a rock, slurping noodles. Seeing them approach, he asked curiously, "What took you so long?" "It's a long story," the Enforcement Chief replied, not wanting to get into it. "Where's the goods! "Over there." Adler quickly polished off his noodles and led them to a warehouse.
The goods were all there. The Enforcement Chief had his team start loading the stuff.
While they were waiting, Flora stepped out to stretch her legs.
"Is that the boss' fiancée?" Adler asked, a bit thrown.
"Yep the Enforcement Chief said, pursing his lips. He thought their boss' stellar reputation was going down the drain because of Flora. Noticing Adler's gaze, Flora gave him a small nod and a smile.
Adler chuckled, "She's pretty nice, not as bad as you all made her out to be Quite the looker, too." "Does being pretty help in our line of work? Strength is what matters," the Enforcement Chief retorted.
"You guys worry too much, Adler said, his tone easygoing. He'd been stationed at the border for years and had an optimistic outlook. "Our boss knows what he's doing, If he likes her, isn't that enough?" "Fine, you have a point, the Enforcement Chief muttered. He was just worried Flora would be a weak spot for Connor.
Once the goods were loaded, they hit the road again.
By noon, they had just crossed the border Having been on the move since four in the moming, everyone was starving. The Enforcement Chief called for a break. Everyone pulled out their bread to eat, Yara included, leaning against a big tree with bread in one hand and water in the other.
Flora was the only exception.

The lunch boxes were packed by Connor himself for Flora the dayn before, with a perfect balance of n? meat and veggies. There was even a pot of pork rib soup.
Its mouth-watering aroma filled the air.
Flora had asked Connor to make extra, enough for three or four m people. She took dur chopsticks and handed them to Lance and Colton, signaling them to dig in.
"This is amazing! I haven't had food | this good since I got to Ruby Path!" Lance exclaimed excitedly after taking a bite.
