In Mr. Garcia's office, Mr. Richard was recording a voice message for Flora: "Hey, Flora! Your ID badge is ready. No need to swing by and pick it up; I'll bring it to you myself! No biggie. If you've got the time, just pop by the University of Maple Grove for a lecture."
A knock interrupted him.
Mr. Richard glanced up to see Blake at the door. He set his phone down, and his cheerful demeanor quickly shifted.
"Professor Blake, what can I help you with?"
Blake strode in, cutting straight to the chase: "Mr. Garcia, I saw the university's announcement, and I have a concern."
Mr. Richard motioned for her to continue.
"I just don’t think Flora should be an honorary professor at the University of Maple Grove!" Blake inhaled deeply before continuing, "She's just a freshman. Has she even published a paper? Does she even know what major research databases are? How can someone like that be an honorary professor?"
She had struggled so much to become a full professor, and yet Flora was handed an honorary title just like that. It didn’t sit right with her.
"If I appointed Flora as an honorary professor, it's because she earned it," Mr. Richard explained calmly. "Winning a national championship proves her remarkable skills, and her academic writing is top-notch. Professor Blake, while your paper writing is excellent, it doesn’t quite match up to hers."
Mr. Richard had heard from Dr. Ray that Flora’s paper-writing prowess was unmatched, not just in the medical lab but throughout Austenberg. Even the lab students had their papers reviewed and polished by Flora.
"Mr. Richard, you're being too biased towards Flora!" Blake chuckled, exasperated. "A freshman better at writing papers than me?"
She prided herself on her paper-writing skills, believing no one could outdo her. Well, except for the elusive FL.
