How on earth was Flora here all in one piece? Did Hudson have a change of heart and decide not to go after her? "Flora, put down your backpack. We're about to start the meeting," Dr. Ray instructed, not catching onto Alexa's odd behavior.
Flora's eyes flicked over to Alexa for a brief moment before she casually nodded, walked to her seat, set her backpack down, and pulled out her notebook.
Dr. Ray was gearing up to discuss the robotic medical experiment project. With Flora's two-million-dollar investment, plus the extra funds he had secured from other investors, the project was back on track. "There's a big push right now for Al surgeries, using robots instead of humans for operations. I've been involved in sof these efforts..." Dr. Ray spoke with authority, while the senior and junior colleagues listened attentively. Alexa, on the other hand, was lost in her thoughts, unable to concentrate.
How could Flora be so lucky, catching Hudson's attention and still be safe and sound here? Alexa's grip on her pen tightened as she couldn't resist glancing at Flora.

"Alexa?" Dr. Ray called her nagain, frowning when he got no response.
"Huh?" Alexa snapped back to reality, quickly looking at Dr. Ray.
Dr. Ray hated when his students zoned out, especially during important discussions. His face darkened. "Did you catch what I just said?" Alexa pressed her lips together. Of course, she hadn't heard a word.
Seeing this, Dr. Ray's expression grew even more displeased. "You still have a lot to learn in the lab, and given that your talent isn't exceptional, you need to study even harder. If you're just here to waste time, you can leave now, especially since you have Mr. Otto backing you." Reprimanded in front of everyone, Alexa felt a wave of embarrassment. She kept her head down, biting her inneclip, but silently, she was fuming at both Dr. Ray and Flora.
As soon as the meeting ended, Alexa rushed to the restroom to call Hudson. But there was no alisha.
and her panic grew. Could something have really happened? Just then, her phone started vibrating violently in her hand. It was an unknown number.
Alexa took a deep breath and answered. The voice on the other end was deep and male: "Is this Miss Zhao? I'm Mr. Otto's assistant.
He sentto pick you up."
Around noon, Connor arrived to pick Flora up for Shallow Bay. He'd m already prepped the vegetables, so it was just a matter of cooking them. "Go change and wash your hands," Connor said gently, placing her backpack on the small sofa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFlora nodded and quickly went upstairs in her slippers.
Connor took an apron off the wall and tied it around his waist, rolling up his black sleeves to reveal his tanned arms. "Ding Ding Ding-" The backpack on the small sofa suddenly rang. Flora's phone was inside, forgotten.
The caller seemed persistent, ringing twice in a row.
Connor unzipped the backpack and took out the phone, his fingers m brushing against something cold. It was a gift box. A necklace... Who sent it? X
