Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 491

Mr. Jurado had that “seen-it-all” look: “Alright, alright, you kids go have fun. Drinking’s fine, but don’t go overboard. Make sure to look after the ladies.”

With that, Mr. Jurado strode off.

Ivan picked out a nice restaurant with a cozy private room, not too far from the University of Maple Grove—just a half-hour cab ride away.

...

Inside the private room.

Ivan stood up, raising his glass to Flora: “To Flora, cheers!”

Maddox followed suit, standing up: “To Flora, cheers to you too! Without you, there’s no way we’d have beaten those guys from Imperial Tech!”

Almost everyone raised a toast to Flora.

Ivan had chosen drinks with a low alcohol content, just enough to enjoy without causing any issues.

Brianna, holding her glass, looked conflicted.

After everyone had offered their toasts, she finally mustered the courage to approach Flora.

Flora, leaning back in her chair, lifted her eyes to look at her.

“Can we bury the hatchet over a drink?” Brianna tentatively raised her glass to Flora, now thoroughly convinced of Flora’s superiority. Flora’s formidable strength had won her over.

She thought, if it hadn’t been for the issue with her uncle’s family, they could’ve been friends.

Hearing this, Flora’s eyebrows arched slightly, the fluorescent light casting a beautiful yet cold glow on her features.

Seeing Flora’s silence, Brianna’s hand holding the glass stiffened; she had gathered a lot of courage to come over and now felt deflated.

She was about to set down her glass and leave.

“Wait.” Flora stopped her. She stood up, took the bottle from the table, filled her own glass to the brim, and then did the same for Brianna.

“This is how you bury the hatchet.”
