"With all your tricks, why haven’t you sorted this out?" Team Leader Lin didn’t even bother to look at her straight on. After casually asking a question, Neal Thompson was immediately left fuming, his lips twitching in anger.
Whenever he was confronted with Team Leader Lin, Neal Thompson never won. The other party always had a logic completely opposite to his own, but in the end, he never even had the chance to refute. Neal Thompson glared at him fiercely but refused to argue further to save himself the frustration and angrily walked away instead.
In the dormitory.
Flossie Wright couldn’t exactly be considered a good teacher. The "guidance" she offered Becca Reyes was merely to cross out a significant part of Becca’s self-criticism report and then have her modify it.
Looking at her self-criticism report that was two-thirds crossed out by Flossie, Becca’s eyes twitched. However, seeing Flossie’s unquestionable expression, she could only accept her fate and bitterly start over.
In the beginning, Flossie answered Becca’s queries, but eventually, she got bored, along with the lack of sleep from working through the entire previous night, she went straight to bed, completely ignoring Becca’s affairs.
After about half an hour, Flossie, who always had a light sleep, was woken up by hurried footsteps.
Her dark eyes snapped open, flashing a cautious glint that quickly faded away.
"Flossie, someone’s looking for you outside," Yvonne Watson rushed in from the door and called out to Flossie urgently.
The next moment, the person still lying in bed, in the process of getting up, propped herself on the bed rail and effortlessly flipped out of bed. Her graceful and continuous movements left Yvonne Watson dumbstruck, her eyelids fluttering, and her mind filled with surprise.
Flossie slept in her clothes to be prepared for Neal Thompson’s sudden intrusion. Skipping the step of getting dressed, she got ready incredibly quickly, tidily presenting herself in front of Yvonne Watson almost in the blink of an eye. This surprised Yvonne so much that she was left momentarily speechless.
"Who is it?" Flossie raised an eyebrow at Yvonne, which brought her back from her stunned state.
"Rowdy Brightwill," When she mentioned this name, Yvonne inadvertently blushed a little. Rowdy Brightwill was indeed good looking, even if one didn’t like him, they couldn’t help but feel fondness towards him. After a pause, Yvonne remembered another person and added hesitantly, "and their team’s..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she realized that Flossie, who was just standing before her, had disappeared. She quickly turned to look at the door, only to see Flossie’s retreating figure.

The cooking class dormitory was very close to the kitchen and dining hall. As soon as Flossie stepped out the door, she saw two soldiers standing at the kitchen back door. One of them was indeed Rowdy Brightwill, whom Yvonne had just mentioned. His handsome and charming face looked exceptionally warm under the rising sun. He was animatedly talking to Winsley Scott, his eyes filled with warmth and amusement. He certainly was a feast for the eyes.
"What can I do for you?"
Walking closer, Flossie inquired coolly.
Aside from her certain connection with Rowdy Brightwill, she believed she had no other ties, thus she was indeed unclear about why these two came to find her.
"Ah, Flossie," Winsley Scott saw her and suddenly wore a radiant smile which, no matter how one looked at it, seemed false, "What are you up to?"
"..." Rowdy Brightwill looked skyward with a hand on his forehead, feeling sorrow for Winsley Scott who was playing dumb.
He did tell Winsley Scott to warm up to Flossie, that was true. But... who was he trying to impress so blatantly?
Flossie crossed her arms, standing idly by, watching in bewilderment these two seemingly in their own world.
