StarNovelDarcy's jaw dropped, murmuring, "Flora, you're amazing. You solved that tough problem just by glancing at it." Flora looked at them with a hint of complexity in her eyes: "That problem was actually pretty easy." Darcy: "..." Shawn: "..." Alright then. Guess we're the clueless ones here.
At five o'clock sharp, Flora stood up from her chair, slinging her backpack over her shoulder. "That's it for today, I'm heading home." Not a moment to spare. Connor was almost downstairs, and she couldn't keep him waiting.
At the airport, The plane touched down right on tat five.
Mr. Tanner and his team had been waiting for a while.
By ten past five, they finally saw a group of people slowly emerging.
Leading the group was a woman in a khaki trench coat and jeans. Her chestnut hair was loosely tied with a ribbon, and as the wind blew, it added a touch of disheveled charm that was quite captivating.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was tall, easily five foot seven, with a poised and steady gait that only someone from high society could possess.
Mr. Tanner hurriedly approached: "Ms. Abbey, right?" Abbey removed her sunglasses and nodded coolly, not even sparing Mr. Tanner a glance.
Her demeanor was aloof, but she had the status to back it up.
With her profile, she could pretty much do as she pleased in Austenberg.
"Are you Joy?" Her gaze swept lightly across the crowd, finally settling on Joy.
Everyone's eyes followed hers, landing on Joy.
Expressions varied.
Joy hadn't expected Abbey to mention her, and she quickly nodded: "Hello, Ms. Abbey, I'm Joy." "Your father had sdealings with the White family. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
