StarNovelMinutes later, the assistant ushered in a group of competitors.
"Director, what's up with the list? Flora didn't even attend the training. Why is her non it?" "We expect a reasonable explanation, Director!" Apart from Selene, the rest of the competitors wore expressions of frustration and anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdding someone to the team at the last minute? Who wouldn't be upset? It might have been okay if Flora had joined earlier, but now that the training was already over, what could she possibly contribute? She would only slow us down! Mr. Tanner remained silent, letting them vent their frustrations. Only when they started to calm down did he speak, "Are you done?" The competitors looked at Mr. Tanner, still furious, demanding an explanation.
"Flora's nbeing on the final list was an accident, and for that, I apologize," Mr. Tanner said solemnly. "But the list is finalized and cannot be changed. It has to stay as it is." "In five days, Flora will join us on our trip to Lone Island." Hearing this, Selene, who had been looking downcast, suddenly perked up, a hint of interest lighting up her eyes. A slight smile curved her lips.
With Flora in the competition, things were bound to get more interesting.
The other competitors, upon hearing this, were fuming, practically steaming at the ears! "This isn't fair!" one of the male competitors, Luiz, said indignantly. "We've been in intensive training these past few days, and you know how much effort we've put into it! Why should Flora just waltz in at the last minute? She hasn't gone through the training; how is she supposed to compete? Is she here to drag us down?" If Flora had joined the team earlier, they would have welcomed her, but now, they were anything but! The questions for the medical competition were all set by the Medical Alliance at Lone Island, completely different from the usual questions. They were tricky and difficult. Without having gone through the training, it would be very hard to answer them! Even Flora couldn't possibly manage it.
"Have you said enough?" Mr. Tanner glared at them with a stern face. "So, what now? The list is finalized. If e Flora doesn't go, none of us can. Do you think Flora wants to go? Right now, we are the ones asking her to participate!" The group of competitors fell silent, but it was clear they were still disgruntled.
Joy stood at the back, not saying a word. Her current situation was too awkward to allow her to speak up. If she said anything, Mr. Tanner would surely direct all his anger at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe quietly stepped out to call Abbey.
"Ms. Abbey, why did you insist on Flora joining the competition?" As soon as the call connected, Joy couldn't help but ask.
After the last attempt to sabotage Flora, almost preventing her from attending the medical competition, just when doy had managed to sideline Flora from the competition, Abbey had manipulated the list. What was her motive? She just couldn't understand what Abbey was up to!
"Why so nervous?" Abbey was at the airport, not pleased with Joy's m questioning tone. "Flora missed all N the training sessions. Even if she goes to compete, how well can she really perform?" "But..." "I've given you the materials. Study them well. Most of the questions are from those materials. If you still lose to Flora, then you really are foolish." Joy tried to explain in a hurry, "The
competition counts the team's average score! If Flora scores too low, it will bring Then, the Union our average of Maple Grove won't win the championship, and I won't be able to get into the medical base..." "Just focus on doing your best. As long as your score is high, even if the University of Maple Grove doesn't win the championship, I'll find a way to get you in."
