The director waved his hand solemnly, dismissing them and then sauntered off.
The cooking class was quite a ways from the hospital. By the time Flossie Wright got back, nearly half an hour had passed, and they had already started hustling to make dinner.
However, the anticipated scolding and lecturing didn’t happen.
"The heroine has returned?"
"Heroine, do you want a cucumber? They’ve just been washed."
"Can you elaborate on the whole abduction thing this morning?"
"Heard that the ’abductor’ was a soldier, is that true?"
As she entered, everyone in the cooking staff paused their work, all eyes wide with curiosity as they looked at her. Although their eyes were full of questions, the radiant smiles on their faces all showed—
They were very proud!
Proud to have a female member like Flossie Wright in their cooking class!
Personal pride was team pride, and since Flossie Wright joined their cooking class, she almost always brought honor to them daily. This made them feel somewhat inflated, standing confidently in front of the Frogman squad.

Their team also had a hero, and a heroic woman at that!
"What’s all the noise about, do you still want to cook?!"
In the midst of the chaotic and joyous atmosphere, a stifling voice from Sergeant Lin suddenly rang out.
So, in an instant, all the voices fell silent, several of them making funny faces at Flossie Wright before immediately going back to their work.
"You, go peel potatoes." Sergeant Lin nonchalantly pointed to a basin of newly washed potatoes nearby and without hesitation, sent Flossie Wright, the "heroine", off to keep the potatoes company.
Flossie Wright touched her nose, not putting on any airs at all, glanced at Becca Reyes who was also sitting on a small stool peeling potatoes, and quickly walked over.
"Here, there’s still a knife available." Becca Reyes casually picked up a small stool from the side, and seeing Flossie Wright approach, she smiled as she handed over a small knife.
Flossie effortlessly caught it and squatted down. Yet, as soon as she took out a potato, Becca Reyes leaned over, "Why don’t we chat a bit?"
Without a doubt, she also wanted to inquire about Flossie Wright’s experience at the hospital.
The dagger spun a circle in her hand, Flossie Wright playfully threw the potato in her hand, her movement was exceedingly casual and smooth. She waved the potato toward Becca and responded in a friendly way, "No time."
Becca: "..."
Peeling potatoes had nothing to do with chit chat, this woman clearly just didn’t want to talk.
Of course, Becca, even if extremely curious, knew when to back off once she realized Flossie didn’t want to talk. However, within a short while, her attention was drawn to Flossie’s potato peeling skills.
With an undeniably casual motion, Flossie stripped the potato skin, fast and thin. In her hands, the ugly potato looked like a work of art. Within a few seconds, she had completely peeled all the potatoes and tossed them into a clean basin in a parabolic motion.
Becca commented with a concealed smile, and shifted her focus back to her own potatoes.
She had to admit to Flossie’s superiority in some aspects, but when it came to peeling potatoes, was she going to be beaten again by Flossie?!
That would be too much of a blow to her confidence!
And so, an unsuspecting battle ensued between them, focused on peeling potatoes. Flossie, who was engrossed in her work, acutely felt waves of hostility being directed at her from Becca’s side.
