Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 666

Flora strolled into the lab right on time.

The place was eerily quiet today. Darcy, Shawn, and the others were all at their desks, but no one had started working yet.

"What's up?" Flora raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued.

Darcy grabbed her and nodded towards Dr. Ray's office.

From inside, they could hear Dr. Ray's muffled yelling mixed with the sound of a woman crying.

Darcy whispered, "Dr. Ray's giving Alexa a hard time, settling old scores."

"Oh."

Flora shrugged it off and headed to her seat.

She couldn't care less about Alexa.

Seeing Flora so indifferent, Darcy and the others felt maybe they were overreacting. Wasn't it totally normal for Dr. Ray to be grilling Alexa?

Soon, they all got back to work; if Dr. Ray came out and saw them slacking off, they'd get an earful too.

Inside Dr. Ray's office.

Alexa was a mess, tears streaming down her face as she begged, "Dr. Ray, whatever I did wrong, I can fix it. Just please, don't kick me out, okay?" Getting kicked out of the lab would leave a permanent mark on her record.

What future would she have then?

Dr. Ray, clearly fed up with her crying, adjusted his glasses and said, "Alexa, I've told you clearly. You can't stay in this lab. The best thing for you is to submit a voluntary resignation." Leaving on her own was way better than getting expelled.

"Dr. Ray, do you have to be this harsh?" Alexa's voice rose to a hysterical pitch, "What did I do wrong? Are you trying to ruin me? Are you all trying to ruin me? Is it because of Flora? Did she badmouth me to you? Is that why you're kicking me out?"

"Irrational." Dr. Ray had lost all patience. "Pack your stuff and leave now, or else, you know the consequences!"

"Dr. Ray!!!"

Alexa screamed, her eyes bloodshot with rage. At that moment, a destructive madness took hold of her.

-What's going on?

Just then, Flora's voice came from outside the office.

Alexa's anger hit its boiling point!

She was being kicked out like a stray dog, yet Flora had the nerve to be here so calmly!

She suddenly burst out of the office!

She saw Flora chatting and laughing with Shawn and Darcy, a slight smile on her lips.

"Flora!"

She spat out the name, wishing she could tear Flora's face apart.

Behind her, Dr. Ray's furious shout echoed, Flora turned just in time to see Alexa charging at her, grabbing a folder from the table and hurling it at her. én.swnovels.net

Seeing she missed, Alexa screamed and grabbed a handful of papers from the desk, throwing them wildly at Flora.

The lab erupted into chaos.

"Alexa! Have you lost your damn mind?"

In the midst of the turmoil, someone shouted in frustration.

"Yes! I've lost it! You all drove me to this!"

Alexa, seeing the lab in shambles and the fear in the eyes of those who usually looked down on her, suddenly felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. én.swnovels.net
