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

Shelly's fierce attitude left Amy absolutely speechless. It was the first time Amy had seen Shelly act so impulsively. Despite Shelly normally having a knack for clashing with Fiona, here she was, ready to back her up without a second thought.

"This really isn't like you!" Amy laughed as she ordered their meal. When she checked the school forum again, all the negative comments had disappeared. You couldn't deny it-Shelly was efficient like no other.

After they finished eating and were about to leave, Fiona got a message from Jackson and rushed off. "Classic case of ditching friends for romance!" Amy joked, rolling her eyes as she drove everyone else away.

Fiona flagged down a cab and, once inside, gave the driver the address of a nightclub. He frowned, clearly not happy about the destination. "Miss, what are you doing at a place like that so late?" he asked, peering through the rearview mirror. Even with a mask on, Fiona's striking beauty was hard to miss. "Places like those aren't meant for someone your age. You should be focusing on your studies, not chasing quick cash."

Fiona, lost in her own world with her headphones on, didn't catch a word he said, but her face grew more serious. Suddenly, she heard a voice through her headphones, "Ms. Fiona, the Stonnell family is making big moves lately."

"What?" Fiona muttered, frowning.

The driver, thinking she was responding to him, continued, "At your age, studying should come first. Fast money isn't worth it, and as a young lady, you should respect yourself."

"Alright, I got it," she said absentmindedly.

The driver, pleased with himself for 'rescuing' a young girl from a bad path, felt a sense of accomplishment. He glanced back at Fiona, then pulled over to the curb.

As Fiona tried to figure out what was happening, the driver, wearing a smug smile, said, "Since you agree I'm doing this for your own good, you should get out and head home. Don't worry about the fare this time."

Fiona was baffled. "What is up with this guy?"

"Did I give the wrong address?" she wondered aloud, frowning.

Looking around, she found herself on an empty street with barely any cars. The dim streetlights flickered above, casting a weak light.

Her first thought was that she might be in danger, so she quickly got out of the car. Being outside seemed safer With her skills, she wasn't worried about trouble here, but inside the car, she felt vulnerable.

As she stepped out, the driver gave her a knowing look, shaking his head as if he couldn't understand her decisions. Still, he didn't want a young woman like her to go down the wrong path, so he and her and said, "Why can't you take good advice? Didn't you say you agreed with me? Why change your mind now?"

"What do you mean?" Fiona asked, confused.noveldrama

Once the driver explained, her expression softened. She had been so focused on

Jasmine's update that she hadn't noticed his continuous chatter.
