Chapter 302
“Don’t worry about it,” Flora said, coughing lightly. “You’ve had a rough day. Go home, rest up, and be here at 7 a.m. sharp tomorrow. And Colton, you better be here too.”
Lance was taken aback. Since he’d known Flora, she never woke up before noon. Now, she was willing to get up at the crack of dawn just to train him. He was touched. Ms. Flora is really something special…
Colton stood off to the side, his face dark and brooding, not saying a word.
Once Flora returned to the mansion, she texted Jules.
Flora: I need more of that new medicine you developed. Send me as much as you can, especially the ones that speed up recovery.
Jules replied quickly: Got it. Should I send it to Cedarvale?
Flora: No, send it to Ruby Path.
She sent the address over.
Jules: What are you doing at Ruby Path? Going to see Road too?
“Road too” was the founder of The Red Scorpions. Their base was at Ruby Path, so Jules assumed Flora was going to meet him.
Flora: I’m not with him. And don’t tell him I’m at Ruby Path.
Otherwise, he’d throw a fit, and just thinking about it gave Flora a headache.
A deep, magnetic voice came from behind her, “Who are you texting so intently that you didn’t even notice I was back?”
The next second, the sofa next to Flora sank as Connor sat down beside her. Flora smiled, then threw herself into Connor’s arms, hugging his waist.
“I missed you,” she said, her voice soft and sweet.
Connor laughed, a deep rumble from his chest, his large hand stroking her hair. “Looks like our Flora has done something spectacular today.”
Flora grinned, looking up at him, not surprised he knew. “Do you know what Colton asked me today?”

“What?”
“He asked if I was looking for a shortcut,” Flora said, her eyes crinkling with laughter. “Mr. Connor, will you let me take this shortcut?”
Connor slowly reached out his calloused hand, gently pinching her chin. “That depends on how sincere Mrs. Hoff is.”
Flora laughed softly, her hand sliding over Connor’s waist through his shirt. “Is offering myself enough?”
The atmosphere turned charged.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
A series of coughs broke the moment, as Zack, the head of Logistics, and the head of the Medical Division stood awkwardly at the door.
Flora got up from Connor’s embrace. “You guys talk. I’ll go upstairs.”
With that, she briskly walked upstairs without looking back at Connor. Such a
tease!
Connor chuckled, a soft light in his eyes. Yara, holding the documents, looked pale. She’d never seen Connor so tender…
What did that woman have that made the boss value her so much?
Zack, the head of Logistics, spoke respectfully, “Boss, we’re already
negotiating with Master Jules. No matter the cost, we have to get that batch of medicine.”
Master Jules had developed a batch of medicine that could rapidly enhance human recovery from injuries, causing a global sensation. Every faction wanted it, including Empire Base.
Zack quickly shifted the focus to Yara. “We owe a lot to Yara for this. If it wasn’t for her being Master Jules‘ niece, we might still be looking for him.”
