Chapter 209: Not lovers anymore
"Why would you say that?" asked Millie confusedly.
"I heard you three," Flora turned her sharp gaze toward the platform, where Millie’s two friends were still standing, "talking wrong about my sister."
Millie kept a calm look on her face as she finally halted. "Miss Flora, I’ve also heard what you did to your sister. Kindly reflect upon your actions rather than threatening me. I’m sure even if you tell what my friends and I talked, your own sister wouldn’t believe you."
Flora’s hands clenched into fists, but keeping her silence was the best in that moment.
"Now, please excuse me," Millie said and walked ahead.
Flora felt her heart began palpitating, and she looked at the crowd around herself. Her gaze started turning blurred, hallucinating that people surrounding her were laughing and mocking her.
Flora staggered back a step, shaking her head as her hand instinctively moved to her chest, trying to ease the growing tightness. Somehow, she managed to slip away from the crowd and grabbed a glass of water from a passing waiter. She drank in slow gulps, trying to calm the spiraling thoughts.
Lowering the glass, she walked over to a nearby table and gently set it down.
"You alright?" came a familiar voice.
Flora looked up, startled. Zander stood before her.
"Yes," she said quickly, lowering her eyes before offering him a polite nod.
