Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1691

As soon as Fiona wrapped up her final exam, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She shot a glance at Tyler and asked, "Less than a month until New Year's—got any plans?"

Tyler didn't answer right away. He just glanced down at his backpack and gave a sheepish smile. "The usual."

By "the usual," he meant spending New Year's alone in his little rented apartment, whipping up a couple of basic dishes, maybe sipping on a drink or two, and letting the day quietly pass by.

Before Fiona entered his life, he hadn't even had an apartment to call his own. Back then, he was at the orphanage, decorating with a bunch of kids and the director. Those days were tough but heartwarming. Now, he was by himself, and while it was a bit lonely, loneliness was just part of life.

"What about you? Are you heading home?" Tyler asked.

Fiona almost burst out laughing. Her parents were so elusive that even she, their own daughter, had no clue where they were most of the time. They were like ghosts.

"I'm solo too. How about we take a trip to Florida together?"

Kimberly had invited her to join for the holidays when she asked for some design drafts, but Fiona had already turned her down.

The Woods family's New Year shindig meant going to the main branch, with the whole Capital Woods family in attendance. Fiona had no interest in getting tangled up with them. If she could avoid it, she'd steer clear of them forever. Saving Mrs. Woods had been a one-off.

"Yeah, let's go together," Tyler agreed.

But he didn't have much cash, so he figured he'd need to hustle a bit in the coming weeks.

Fiona noticed his hesitation but didn't push it. Instead, she smiled and said, "I heard Golden Times is hiring. The pay starts at ten grand. Maybe you should check it out?"
