Chapter 359.1
“Congratulations, Jin,” Flora exclaimed.
“Thank you,” Eugene replied, secretly relieved that Flora didn’t betray her biased emotions.
“I’ve brought a little something as a congratulatory gift,” Flora mentioned, rising as if to personally deliver it.
“No need to trouble yourself. Just give it to the maid,” Eugene insisted.
“It feels a bit awkward if it goes through someone else’s hands.”
In the reception room, three maids patiently waited. One stood behind Eugene, another positioned a step back from Flora, and the remaining two focused intently on Flora from the moment she made her move.
“Flora, hand it to the maid,” Eugene reiterated firmly. Flora shrugged, glanced around, and began mentally measuring the distance.
“Sure, if that’s what you want,” replied Flora. I suppose I should get a bit closer.
Flora subtly lifted her left sleeve, revealing a tightly bound silver cord around her wrist. With a graceful turn, she approached Eugene, tugging at the cord. Simultaneously, the maid positioned behind Eugene moved closer, followed by the distant maids converging. The reflexive response of the protective maids swiftly closed the gap between the four individuals. Then, a glint of light emanated from Flora’s left arm.
