Connor pulled a black face mask from his pocket and carefully placed it on Flora.
"All set."
"Thanks, Mr. Connor."
Flora smiled, bending a bit closer, her lips brushing against Connor's cheek through the mask. Even though the mask muted the sensation, Connor's ears still turned a faint shade of pink.
Raul and Henrik couldn't bear to watch. Why did it seem like Flora was the one doing the flirting?
"Hey, Flora, why the sudden mask?" Flora returned to the group with a spring in her step, and Darcy found it odd to see her wearing a mask.
Flora touched the mask lightly. "My fiancé put it on for me."
Darcy: "..."
She shouldn't have asked, only to get a face full of PDA.
Dr. Ray finished drawing lots and strode over. "First round, Darcy and Alex... Emily, you four are up. You all know the rules, so I won't repeat them. Just stay calm and do your best."
The competition was split into three rounds, the first testing the breadth of knowledge.
The opposing team would pose questions, and answering correctly meant a win, while a wrong answer resulted in a loss. They could ask up to ten questions, often choosing the most obscure and difficult ones, requiring a broad and extensive knowledge base.
This round was actually Flora's strong suit, and Dr. Ray had hoped she could ignite the team's morale from the start.
However, the rules called for random selection.
As luck would have it, Flora wasn't picked and could only participate in the second round.
Orla happened to draw number one, making her Darcy's opponent.
She breathed a sigh of relief, actually dreading the thought of facing Flora.
After all, Flora was a genius, unmatched in theoretical knowledge even by Mr. Atticus.
To be precise, not even the entire medical organization's staff, including its upper echelons, could compare to her.
She couldn't help but glance at Flora. The teams were quite far apart, making it impossible to see clearly, only the outlines were visible.
