Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 421

“Hmm… Just a little matter,” Mr. Foss deflected.

Dr. Clement wasn’t buying it. A little matter that had Mr. Foss rallying his troops over here?

He glanced at the folks behind Mr. Foss, Ivan and the gang. “I heard your computer science crew caused quite a stir in the medical department today?”

Ivan and the others looked a bit sheepish.

They hadn’t meant to create such a big misunderstanding.

“It was all just a mix-up, really,” Mr. Foss chuckled awkwardly. “Just call Flora out, we’ve got official business with her.”

Dr. Clement set his thermos down on the table. “What official business?”

Seeing Dr. Clement’s stubbornness, Mr. Foss knew he had to spill the beans if he wanted to see Flora.

“Flora’s got a real knack for computing. My students have been talking her up as a prodigy, and I wanted to see it for myself.”

Dr. Clement’s eyes widened for a moment in surprise.

He hadn’t realized Flora had a talent for computing.

If Mr. Foss himself had come, her talent must be significant indeed.

“Talent or not, she’s part of the medical department. What’s there for you to see?” Dr. Clement huffed protectively.

Flora was the prized student of the medical department, not someone to be poached by others.

Mr. Foss, feeling provoked by Dr. Clement’s attitude, retorted, “Yes, yes, she’s your medical department’s pride, the top student in the country, yours! But what’s the harm in just meeting her? If you don’t let me see her, I’ll drop by your house tonight and tell your wife all about your love life from childhood till now!”

Dr. Clement gave him a speechless look. Here was a man in his forties or fifties, still throwing tantrums like a child when he couldn’t get his way.

Ten minutes later, Flora arrived at the administrative office.

She knocked on the door.
