In comparison, the whole cooking class couldn’t match the aura of Drake Easton.
However, the kind members of the cooking class, although frightened themselves, immediately focused on Flossie Wright when Drake walked away. They were all startled, could the new female recruit, Flossie not be left with trauma?
Unexpectedly, when all their gazes fell on Flossie Wright, they only saw her calm back. She had already started turning off the fire and was scooping out cooked eggs, showing no signs of being scared at all in her calm actions.
The soldiers of the cooking class paused for a few seconds, exchanged meaning with tacit understanding, and then withdrew their gaze, quietly going about their own tasks.
After all, they had spent more than two months in Drake Easton’s ruthless class, so they had become used to his domineering presence...
To help Flossie cope with Drake Easton’s inspections, the cooking class went to great lengths. They even sent someone to find out what training Drake planned to give the second team and purposely arranged some leisure activities for Flossie when he had free time. They were prepared to leave without finding any faults when Drake appeared.
As for the possibility of Drake’s inspection coinciding with Flossie’s rest period, Flossie originally had dozens of excuses, and Drake, who had no eloquence, would definitely not find out any faults. Yet, seeing the cooking class take so much pain, not just for her but also to regain face, she hid all her strategies and let them exhaust their minds.
As a result, throughout the day, Drake’s two inspections didn’t find any faults. The "victorious" cooking class celebrated by cooking a special meal for Flossie in the evening, all under the pretext of taking care of the injured and strengthening her. When Flossie left, the cooking class leader personally escorted her to the dormitory entrance.
Unexpectedly, after the class leader left, Flossie was stopped by Rowdy Brightwill, who had been waiting for a long time, just as she reached the dormitory gate.
"It seems like you’re having quite a comfortable time in the cooking class."
Rowdy Brightwill leaned against the railing, holding an apple in his hand. As he spoke slowly, he tossed the apple up a few times before catching it effortlessly. His gaze on Flossie, obstructed by the apple, appeared somewhat indifferent.
"What’s up?" Flossie asked, nonchalantly shooting him a glance.
"Nothing," Rowdy stood upright, walked up to Flossie, and stood in front of her. There was a hint of unhappiness mixed in his downcast eyes as he lowered his voice, "You still remember our relationship, right?"
Rowdy Brightwill had not cared much about Flossie Wright before, but after once again seeing her this time, something felt different. He was irritated by Glenn Hutchinson’s ambiguous words, and just the thought of how Glenn carried Flossie around annoyed him. Hearing about the cooking class’s special treatment for Flossie and seeing the class leader escort her back, his annoyance almost reached its peak.
Considering she came to the Military Camp for him, she had absolutely no sense of propriety in this place full of men!
"I remember." Flossie frowned, recalling her engagement to Rowdy Brightwill.
In truth, Flossie’s engagement to Rowdy Brightwill had no real impact on her. People were even divorcing after getting married, let alone a mere engagement that she could break off anytime.
So, to her, Rowdy Brightwill was just another person. Nothing special.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, a restrained rage in Rowdy Brightwill exploded. Anger flickered in his eyes as he instinctively grasped Flossie’s shoulders and leaned down, bringing his lips closer to Flossie’s...
At the same time, Jocelyn Carrington, who was just about to go downstairs, abruptly halted. She widened her eyes in surprise, taking in the scene at the stair landing beneath her.
