Suddenly furrowing her brows, Flossie Wright looked up and naturally met Bard Walker’s scrutinizing gaze.
Underneath his calm gaze, was hidden evaluation and probing, as if he were trying to determine whether she had the desire, or perhaps evaluating if she possessed the ability.
And indeed, she who was usually decisive, hesitated due to this issue.
No doubt, it was a dull profession.
She used to enjoy hiding in the dark and sniping, and had deliberately chosen some snipers to train her, but all the aspects of the role were tedious. Sometimes, there was no chance to speak for days and nights. The anticipation, the torment, and unsettledness from excessive ennui. Although it seems like a cool occupation, to achieve all this requires strong mental strength and a reserved and silent personality. It was not an easy occupation to adapt to.
Although she pulled through those training sessions, she quickly threw herself into new interests, learning new knowledge and skills. She didn’t see it as a long-term career.
After a silence of two seconds, Flossie Wright’s response was decisive.

Since she never thought of becoming a sniper, she wouldn’t change her mind just because of someone else’s query.
Bard Walker’s gaze slightly paused, he didn’t expect Flossie Wright to answer so straightforwardly.
In theory, the mysterious profession of a sniper is something that all weapon experts look forward to. He had seen Flossie Wright’s shooting skills, and at her age, she was indeed a rare sharpshooter. He had also interacted with Flossie a few times and while he didn’t have a full understanding of her yet, he could confidently say that with Flossie’s composed, non-arrogant personality, being a sniper would be an apt role.
Among all the new recruits in this batch, he hadn’t seen a better prospect than Flossie Wright.
Inexplicably, Bard Walker suddenly remembered Glenn Hutchinson’s advice before he left — if she doesn’t agree...
"Err.. well," internally cursing his employer for this corner, Bard Walker put on a serious face and patiently said to Flossie Wright, "You are a promising prospect for a sniper. We also hope to train you as a sniper. If you are willing, I can give you some time to consider ... umm.. how about until the end of this month’s drill? Of course, if you agree, we will transfer you from the cooking class, oh, and that includes another from the cooking class, Becca Reyes."
Flossie Wright’s eyes shimmered as she listened to his spiel and suddenly it all made sense.
If she guessed right, Bard Walker’s focus... should be the last sentence, right?
The implication was that, if she agreed, she could leave the cooking class with Becca Reyes and join the new recruit training. However, if she declined, then, unfortunately, even if Becca Reyes was incredibly talented, they wouldn’t break the rules for her.
Thinking deeper, it seemed like Bard Walker was using Becca Reyes... to threaten her.
Because they were tied together.
This time, Flossie Wright couldn’t refuse so simply.
After a moment of contemplation, Flossie Wright narrowed her eyes slightly, then responded coolly, "I understand."
Not lingering long in Bard Walker’s office, it took Flossie Wright less than five minutes to walk out of the office, leaving behind Bard Walker to sigh with distress.
And, Flossie Wright, after leaving Bard Walker’s office, didn’t directly head downstairs, but turned a corner to another office door.
