Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1028

"Wait, what?" Cecelia was a bit confused, not sure why he left or locked the car door, but she nodded obediently, "Alright."

In less than ten minutes, Henrik was back.

He had a bag in hand.

Sliding into the driver’s seat, he casually handed the bag to her.

It was a tube of ointment.

"Your face is a bit red, probably from the cold. Use this."

"Sure thing." Flora, enjoying shrimp that Connor had peeled for her, replied slowly, "One sachet, ten billion. Two, twenty billion."

"Are you kidding me!" Ray was floored. "Ten billion! You’re charging me ten billion?! You sell them to others for maybe three billion, but you’re asking me for ten billion!"

Flora answered with a straight face, "That's why they call it taking advantage of friends."

Ray: "......"
