Chapter 216
Crimson and Flora didn’t think much of the little incident that had just happened.
First, Crimson took Flora out for a meal before they headed off to the Bryant family’s estate.
“Do you have a beef with that new member, Selene?” Crimson asked as she stopped at a red light, resting her elbow on the window.
“Hmm?” Flora turned to look at her, a bit puzzled by the sudden question.
ken her
Crimson glanced over, “I know you. If Selene hadn’t ticked you off, there’s no way you’d have taken her off the annual meeting list yourself.”
Fibra raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment.
As the light tumed green and the traffic began to move, Crimson lightly pressed the gas. “If you don’t like Selene, I just kick her out of Club 257 when we get back.”
“Let’s wait and see,” Flora said, tilting her head in thought
Selene might have a difficult personality, but she was undeniably talented. Maybe she could change her ways. Extending her probation period could be an option.
Crimson didn’t care much either way; Selene was just a prospective member, after all. It didn’t matter to her if she stayed or left “There are snacks in the back seat Crimson said, nodding towards the back. “All your favorites. Help yourself if you’re bored.” Flora reached into the back seat, pulling a large storage box onto her lap. She opened it to find an array of her usual go–to snacks. She pulled out two pieces of hard candy, unwrapped one for Crimson and one for herself, popping it into her mouth.
They arrived near the Bryant estate.
Flora put on a mask and a hat, making sure she was well–disguised before getting out of the car. Even though she’d already changed her look, the mask gave her an added sense of security.
Crimson, on the other hand, followed her openly. Having lived in Maple Grove for years, she was well–known and saw no need to hide. At the Bryant family’s doorstep, Crimson knocked. Soon, a butler–like figure opened the door.
“Are yo
you the esteemed guests here for the treatment?” the butler asked, eyeing them carefully.
Crimson nodded.
“Please, come in! The butler quickly ushered them inside.
In the living room, a row of bodyguards in black suits stood, looking intimidating.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll go get Mr. Bryant,” the butler said before hurrying up the stairs.
Flora and Crimson exchanged a glance, then calmly took a seat on the sofa.
Meanwhile, Jenny entered the Bryant estate, feeling super annoyed. She’d just sent her car for repairs and hadn’t even had time to eat. She was still figuring out how to tell her father about the car, if she did, he might never buy her another one.
The more she thought about it, the more imitated she became, blaming Flora and Crimson for her woes.
“Miss!” The servants greeted her respectfully along the way.
“Did someone important come?” Jenny asked, glancing into the living room and noticing all the bodyguards.
“An esteemed guest has come to treat your sister,” a bodyguard replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Jenny’s mood brightened. Séraphine, who was supposed to treat her sister, had arrived! She handed her bag to a bodyguard and excitedly mn into the living room.
But when she got there, she saw Flora and Crimson sitting leisurely on the sofa.
“It’s you!” Jenny’s voice rose as she quickly approached them. “What are you doing in my house?”
Crimson and Flora exchanged a glance, moving from surprise to speechlessness.
Indeed, it was a small world full of unexpected encounters!
