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

"Shen, Mr. Raul..." Aisha's voice was dry with anxiety. Of all places, she had to bump into Henrik here. Just her luck!

"Your artist has really crossed the line!" She regained her composure and started pointing fingers at Cecelia. "Mr. Raul, look at my face, it's swollen because she hit me! This isn't how an artist should behave-she's acting like a thug! Someone like that should be benched!" "If you keep yapping, I'll give you another slap!" Cecelia had been a bit intimidated with Henrik around, but the second Aisha mentioned sidelining her, she fired up again.

"Mr. Raul, just look at her~" Aisha put on her best wounded expression.

Henrik glanced at Cecelia, then settled his eyes on Aisha without saying a word. Instead, he played a video.

It was footage of Aisha lashing out at Cecelia just moments earlier.

Aisha's expression shifted instantly.

Henrik had recorded everything.

The video showed her in an unflattering light. If her fans saw this...

Henrik pocketed his phone. "Ms. Aisha, you should apologize."

"Me, apologize?!"

Aisha's eyes went wide. "You saw it all, Mr. Raul. You know it was Cecelia who hit me! She hit me! And you want me to apologize to her?!"

"All I know is, if this video goes viral, it'll cause quite the uproar. I'm sure Ms. Aisha wouldn't want that."

"Mr. Raul!"

Aisha was about to burst. Thinking it through, she realized the video Henrik recorded only showed her behaving badly; there was nothing about Cecelia's insults or the slap. Cecelia and Diego looked at Henrik with awe. Mr. Raul was so smooth!!!

With just a few words, he had Aisha in check.

"Yanyan," the agent nudged Aisha gently. At this point, apologizing was their only option.

Aisha had already been embroiled in a scandal before. Another one could seriously damage her career in showbiz.

Her face was as stormy as aContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

thundercloud, apologizing to Cecelia was the last thing Aisha wanted. But Henck, she couldn't afford to cross.

Florik Entertainment was the industry powerhouse. Everyone showed Henrik the respect he commanded.

With her nails digging into her palms, Aisha, face stern, muttered a grudging apology.

Cecelia: "Huh? What did you say? The wind's so loud, I can't hear you."

Aisha was fuming: "Cecelia, don't push your luck!"

"Mr. Raul, she's saying I'm overstepping." Cecelia immediately tattled to Henrik.

Aisha was on the brink of exploding with frustration. She shouted an apology and stormed off.

"Ms. Aisha."

Henrik's voice stopped her in her tracks.

"You got one more thing wrong earlier."

"It's not Cecelia clinging to me; I'm the one pursuing her. If she agrees, she could become the lady of Florik Entertainment right away."

...

"Mr. Raul, you really know how to put

on saying you're chasing

after

and all. I know you're

joking, and I won't take it seriously."

Once Aisha left, Cecelia swallowed hard, putting some distance between herself and Henrik.

"I'm not joking." Henrik furrowed his brow. "I've been open about my feelings more than once."

"Oh come on, we're just goofing around." Cecelia forced a laugh, pulling a shell-shocked Diego along. "Anyway, Mr. Raul, I've got a

commercial to shoot, so I better get going."

With that, she made her quick exit.
