Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1897

“Let’s check it out.”

Fiona marched into the office building, Tyler hurrying behind her.

Inside the lounge, a girl was curled up on the floor—her clothes torn, her whole body shaking. Her eyes, once bright and clear, now looked lifeless and dull, like pearls covered in dust.

Fiona stopped in front of her and crouched down, reaching out gently to touch her chin. The girl flinched, shoving Fiona away like a scared sparrow, then shrank even further into the corner, hiding her face in her knees. She couldn’t even bring herself to look at anyone.

Her trembling got worse. She was shutting everyone out.

Fiona stood up and sat on the couch. All the girl’s information was spread out on the coffee table. Her name was Anna—a makeup artist at International Glam, actually pretty well-known in the industry. Fiona skimmed her portfolio. Anna’s makeup skills were solid, and every look she created fit her clients perfectly.

By all accounts, Anna was a model employee—never caused trouble, got along with everyone, and kept things professional with clients. Nothing about her stood out as a red flag.

But just a few days ago, Anna had gone missing after celebrating her birthday with some friends at a bar. Someone even used her account to request time off from her manager. If Tyler hadn’t swung by the office today and happened to spot Anna in an alley, no one would have realized anything was wrong.

Fiona and Jasmine had started International Glam to protect talented people who kept getting overlooked or mistreated. Their goal was to give them a platform to grow, learn, and stand up for themselves. Everyone they brought in was chosen because they shared that same vision.

Now, something this serious had happened, and there was no way Fiona was going to let it go.
