Flossie Wright had also heard a thing or two about the escort mission.
This time it was decided that the escort team would be selected from their East Sea Fleet, meaning the selection had already begun some time ago, but the higher-ups had never considered female soldiers, so Flossie Wright didn’t pay it any mind.
Besides, as a new recruit, it was unlikely for her to be involved in such a mission.
With Rowdy Brightwill’s performance and abilities, along with the insignia on his shoulders, his selection was only to be expected.
"How many months are you going?"
After thinking for a moment, Flossie asked.
"Two to three months, I guess," Rowdy Brightwill answered as he made a rough estimate, "I’m not too clear on the specifics."
Flossie nodded her head.
Speaking awkwardly, Rowdy Brightwill scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat at a loss.
Actually, the people for the escort mission had been determined long ago. Originally in adjacent forces, Rowdy Brightwill hadn’t had much contact with Flossie Wright. Now that he was about to leave for such a long time, getting in touch with Flossie was virtually impossible, which naturally made him reluctant to part.
Initially, since female soldiers were not in the selection, Rowdy Brightwill avoided bringing up the topic with them, Flossie included.
Now that he was about to leave, coupled with the scene involving Glenn Hutchinson, he couldn’t help but talk to her about it.
"What is it?"
Flossie asked directly.
"Er, nothing much," Rowdy Brightwill said, tugging at the corner of his mouth. After hesitating for a moment and sighing inwardly, with an awkward expression he added, "Just that, since I’ll be gone for so long, I haven’t informed my family. If they reach out to you, can you help me handle it?"
After saying this, Rowdy Brightwill felt like punching himself twice.
He had intended to say a proper goodbye, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything sentimental, resorting instead to less important matters.
In fact, even if Rowdy Brightwill kept it a secret, with his grandfather’s connections, they could still find out what he was up to—especially because apart from when he was busy with training or on a mission, Rowdy Brightwill was quite diligent in calling home. If he went a long time without contacting them, they would definitely become suspicious.
Flossie agreed to the request without hesitation.
Rowdy Brightwill nodded gravely.
After a brief exchange on the topic of the escort mission, their conversation ended. Flossie returned to the dormitory, while Rowdy Brightwill went to get his package.
At the bottom of the dormitory.
Just arriving outside the dormitory building, Flossie saw Franklin Cody standing at the bottom. Before she could greet him, he spotted her and called out first, "Flossie Wright."
After a brief pause, Flossie thought for a moment and then walked over to him, calling out, "Instructor Franklin."
"There’s no need to call me Instructor anymore."
Franklin Cody’s face was solemn, his expression stern, as if he was never willing to relax.
"Downstairs..." Flossie paused, her gaze sweeping over the bag he was holding, she asked in a flat voice, "Is there something you need?"
"Yes," he answered seriously, Franklin Cody looked at her for a moment, then said, "Nancy Phillips didn’t have dinner, so I brought her some food."
Flossie fell silent and looked at Franklin Cody strangely.
It wasn’t that she found Franklin Cody’s concern for Nancy Phillips odd, but rather she was surprised that someone as careless as Franklin Cody could be so attentive as to personally deliver food because Nancy Phillips hadn’t had dinner.
Recalling how Franklin Cody had trained them before, Flossie’s expression darkened slightly.
Indeed, it was quite discordant.
Feeling Franklin Cody’s gaze upon her, Flossie’s mind spun into action, quickly grasping the implication, and asked, "Do you want me to take it up?"
