Flora: This is all your fault!
Connor stopped the car at a red light and finally picked up his phone to check the message. Seeing Flora's text, he couldn't help but chuckle.
He replied: Technically, you were the one who made the first move.
As soon as he typed "made the first move," he couldn't help but blush a bit. Being with Flora for so long had definitely awakened some desires in him. According to Ray, he used to be a gentleman on the outside but secretly a bit of a flirt. Now... it seemed he was openly flirtatious.
"The light's green," Henrik's slightly ominous voice came from the backseat.
Connor put down his phone and started the car. He had originally planned to take them out for sushi, but Raul and Henrik were adamant about having hot pot instead. So, the four of them ended up at a cozy hot pot restaurant.
Raul ordered a pot of extra spicy broth. Henrik, with a mischievous grin, picked up a mushroom soaked in the fiery broth and offered it to Connor. The mushroom had been simmering in the spicy broth for a long time, and just the smell was enough to make someone choke.
Flora frowned. She knew Connor couldn't handle spicy food, yet Raul and Henrik had dragged him to a hot pot place and ordered the spiciest dish!
Flora extended her bowl, ready to take the hit for Connor, but he took the mushroom with a calm expression. "Thanks, bro," he said.
He ate the mushroom with grace, but despite his best efforts, he ended up coughing lightly, the spice getting to him. Flora quickly handed him a glass of milk and shot Raul and Henrik a furious glare. Their bravado deflated immediately, and they quietly went back to their food.
The extra spicy broth was insanely hot, even for Raul and Henrik, who were used to eating spicy food with Flora. They were downing milk like it was water. Watching them struggle yet still force themselves to eat was both amusing and frustrating for Flora. She eventually dragged them out for sushi, thinking they'd otherwise all end up at the proctologist overnight.
