Before the exercise began, she might have been proud enough to consider herself no less capable than Flossie Wright. However, after the exercise, she realized that Flossie’s skills were far beyond what she had previously perceived. Flossie might not have been the strongest in training, but her intellect, experience, and ideas were unsurpassed amongst the new recruits. Even Calvin Ramos had to respect her opinion first and foremost.
As for Flossie Wright, she did the deed but never claimed it. She simply wanted to save Becca Reyes the embarrassment.
The night wind was chill, and the noise behind her gradually faded away.
After deep sigh and standing quietly for a moment, Becca Reyes looked up and watched as the silhouette disappeared around the corner. Her expression suddenly eased significantly.
Why wouldn’t it? The beneficiary was her, after all. Flossie had made a deliberate effort to conceal her deeds -- why should Becca trouble herself over it?
Disappointment?
Unnecessary.
There was absolutely no reason for her to compare herself to Flossie.
All she could do was seize this opportunity and not let Flossie’s efforts go to waste.
After the show, Flossie headed back to the kitchen, intending to ask the captain for the ingredients she would need the following day.
She planned on going out for a while the next day.
However, she couldn’t find the captain, but she did bump into a cook carrying a box out of the storage room.
"Flossie, perfect timing."
The cook, his eyes nearly covered by the large box, set the box down on a stone table outside the kitchen. After he wiped his sweat, he beckoned Flossie over.
"What’s up?"
Stepping out of the kitchen, Flossie naturally focused on the large box.
"This is for you," gasping for breath, the cook pointed at the box and said, "It’s a parcel that arrived a few days ago when you weren’t here. The captain signed for it and was planning on giving it to you."
"What is it?"
Flossie took a few steps forward, and in the next moment, a military knife was in her hand.
"I’m not sure, but it’s pretty heavy."
𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
After answering her, the cook stood beside the box, evidently curious about its contents as well.
Without asking anything further, Flossie swiftly cut through the transparent tape wrapped around the box. Despite rarely opening parcels, she handled the knife so skillfully and smoothly that in the blink of an eye, the box was open.
The items revealed under the dim light, however, took Flossie aback.
They seemed familiar.
Picking up a few trinkets from the box -- sunglasses, a military knife, a belt, and some specialty items -- Flossie recognized them
Well, all of these items were what she had bought for Becca Reyes in the Capital City using Glenn Hutchinson’s money.
She had been in a rush to leave at the time and didn’t have a chance to return and send the items. She didn’t buy these things, nor did she think that the Wright family would have had the leisure to send her things when Merry Otiz was being interrogated and imprisoned.
"What’s going on?"
At this point, Becca Reyes also came over, curiously looking at the box on the table.
"Glenn Hutchinson sent it to you."
With a shrug, Flossie pointed at the box and then walked off towards the dormitory without further explanation.
Becca Reyes blinked in confusion.
Meanwhile, the cook standing beside was so surprised he could have swallowed a whole egg.
