Leaving the restaurant, Brianna was still a bit lost in thought.
Ray had only said one thing to her: "Don't mess with Flora; she's out of your league." Brianna couldn't wrap her head around it. Flora was just a girl from ssmall town called Cedarvale. What was so untouchable about her? Plus, it wasn't like Brianna had gone out of her way to stir things up. Flora was the one who got her cousin's family thrown in jail. Flora had started the fight with the Brimer family.
"Ivan, giveyour account details. I'll transfer the money later," Ivan said.

My fiancé is good friends with Ray. I can just put it on his tab, no need to pay." "You're engaged?" Ivan and Maddox looked genuinely surprised.
Flora was just a freshman, and already engaged? Flora nodded, her eyes softening at the mention of Connor.
Brianna, who was watching the whole scene, suddenly asked, "Who's your fiancé?" "Connor," Flora answered simply.
Brianna burst into laughter. "You say your fiancé is Connor? That's rich!" "You think just because you know my brother and heard Connor's nfrom him, you're good enough to be Connor's girlfriend? Lettell you, you're not even fit to tie Connor's shoelaces!" Flora stayed silent. Despite her cute looks, Brianna had a fiery temper.
"What if Connor really is my fiancé?" Flora asked calmly.
"Impossible! If that day ever comes, I'll kneel down and call you daddy!" Her brother must be blind to be friends with Flora, and Connor, a man so brilliant and valiant, wouldn't ever fall for her! "Alright, let's head back. We've got written exam training this afternoon," Ivan quickly cut in.
The mention of the afternoon's training made Brianna scoff. She threw a challenging look at Flora. "Hmph! Just you wait this afternoon. I, the national top scorer, will crush you!" With that, she strutted away.
Ivan turned to Flora, looking a bit embarrassed. "Brianna's always been like this, but she's not a bad person. Please don't get mad. I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't bother you." "Well, make sure you do," Flora replied, striding away herself.

Ivan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Women truly were the most troublescreatures. And somehow, they'd managed to run into the two most difficult ones.
The training session wasn't until four in the afternoon, so , so everyone had tfor a nap. Flora went back to her dorm. When she got there, Eilies and Cynthia were still awake, chatting on their beds.
Seeing her return, they both jumped up. "How was your first day in the Computer Science department?" "It was okay," Flora replied.
Cynthia asked, "We've asked around for you. There's a girl named Brianna in Ivan's s team, she's got quite a reputation. Did she give you any trouble?" Flora went to the water dispenser to fill her cup. "She did."
Cynthia got excited. "See! I told Eilies she would! Just think about it. She's always been the only princess in the team. With you there, how could she possibly be nice to you?"
