Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

"The speed... wow," someone murmured, leaving everyone else practically speechless.

In the last round, Flora had put on more of a spectacle, a real feast for the eyes. But this time, she ditched all the fancy tricks and went full throttle on speed alone. All the onlookers could do was watch as she became nothing more than a blur. "Miss Flora is amazing!!!" The Reyes family's team erupted into cheers and applause. Their eyes were practically shining with excitement! The earlier gloom had completely lifted. They'd won again, and thanks to Flora, it felt like a walk in the park. Adrian's eyes were practically heart-shaped with admiration. He was so thrilled he could've lifted Flora and twirled her around. His sister was absolutely incredible!!!

"What's there to brag about? It's just one round," the Jones family's team grumbled, the cheers a bitter pill for them to swallow. Luke took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm brewing inside him. Hmph... Let them enjoy it while they can. They won't be so smug in the next round.

As one race wrapped up, it was time for the next draw. Luke rushed to the platform, his face smug and full of himself. Adrian knew the odds of Flora getting first again were slim and didn't get his hopes up, but then...Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Flora was first! Again, first! Was this some kind of jackpot?!

"Miss is first! Miss is first!" The young ones practically screamed, their voices echoing around them. Luke's sneer got stuck on his face. How on earth... how was Flora first again? Was this Gerald's doing? Wasn't one win enough-did she have to clinch the second too? Poor Luke didn't have a clue that his dear Gerald had already been outplayed and was sitting, dejected, in a dark room somewhere.

The second round kicked off. Still shaken from before, Luke hesitated when the race started; he knew catching up was a long shot anyway. But this time...

Flora didn't budge either. Both cars stayed put at the start. A flicker of hope and joy sparked in Luke's chest. Was Flora going to let him take the lead like in the first round? But this was a relay race. If he got two hundred meters ahead, she'd have to step down. Two hundred meters, just seconds away. If she let him, she wouldn't catch up!

Luke slammed the gas, ready to bolt, but as soon as he did, a swift "whoosh" echoed as Flora's car zoomed right past his, and in an instant, she was gone. Luke's foot wobbled, and his car stalled again!

"Flora!!!" Luke, trembling with rage,

Luke

almost fainted. This was too much! She was clearly making a fool of him! And, as predicted, Flora took the win again, leaving the Jones family's team without even a chance to touch their cars.

"Wow-" At the end of the round, Flora drove back, and with a cheeky grin, whistled at Luke through her open window. Just messing with you.

Luke clutched his chest, nearly keeling over from anger. All around, the elites from various families chuckled; Flora certainly held grudges, but they... they loved it!

Zachary's face was as dark as a storm cloud. He'd brought everyone here to see the Reyes family fall flat, but it was his family that ended up embarrassed instead. Watching Flora return to her seat, full of energy and triumph, Connor's lips curled into a subtle smile. "Had your fun?"

"Boring," Flora said with a click of her tongue. The competition was just too weak.

"Then let's call it a day." Connor gave her helmeted head a playful pat. A faint smile danced in his eyes. Quite adorable. Like one of those bobblehead dolls. With that thought, his smile widened a bit more before he reined it in, sat up straight, and puffed out his phone to send a text. If the little lady was done playing, then it was time to wrap things up.
