Edward shook his head right away, “Nope, he didn’t have a date to bring. Even if he did, he’d only bring you. You’re the only one good enough!”
Bianca’s smile grew. “Let’s go in. I brought a welcome gift for Rico.”
When they went in, Federico had just picked up Britney and was talking to her.
Bianca walked over to say hi to Federico and said, “Rico, congrats! I brought you a gift. Hope you do even better at Gnome Bank!”
“Thank you.” After Federico took the gift, he handed it to the assistant next to him.
It didn’t even mean open.
Bianca thought he would be looking forward to it, but her eyes dimmed a little. “Rico, aren’t you going to open it and take a look?”
“This was going to be a bit busy, it wouldn’t be too late to take it apart later.”
After Bianca heard his explanation, she relaxed again, “Anyway, it’s something you like. I’ve always remembered what you like.”
That was a really meaningful thing to say.
It showed their relationship wasn’t simple, but didn’t cross the line.
Everything was just right.
Someone came over to say hi to Federico, and Bianca picked up the

wine glass next to her, getting ready to mingle with Federico like she used to do abroad.
But unexpectedly. Federico bent his arm, and Britney naturally linked hers through.
The smile froze on Bianca’s face.
Edward wasn’t doing much better, his jaw was about to drop.
If there hadn’t been outsiders around, he would’ve rushed over and asked Federico if someone had put a spell on him.
How could it be Britney?
It could have been anyone, so why did it have to be Britney?
Federico couldn’t bother with the two right now, and went around greeting people with Britney, one after another.
There were directors of Gnome Bank, and there were also partners of Gnome Bank.
Gnome Bank had been around for almost fifty years since it was founded, and its business reach was nothing like that of Royarch Capital, which had only been around for seven years.
Royarch Capital was just a total loser compared to Gnome Bank.
Although Royarch Capital was doing better than Gnome Bank, and its total assets were also more than Gnome Bank.
After all, Gnome Bank was an established financial services company, and its status in the financial world was higher than Royarch Capital’s.
So those people, in the eyes of finance professionals, were all valuable
resources.

She thought that because of her old relationship with Federico, he would definitely do her this favor
At that moment. Bianca was really jealous
Luckily, Rodrick showed up.
Rodrick was coming, and Britney had guessed it.
Besides, Bianca already came, so how could he not come?
When Rodrick said hi to Federico, Britney was right by Federico’s side.
Britney subconsciously felt guilty and instinctively gripped Federico’s arm, not daring to meet Rodrick’s eyes.
But then she felt like she was overthinking it.
Rodrick didn’t care who she was with as a date, and he didn’t even look at her.
After I said hi to Federico, I went to find Bianca.
Britney was a bit annoyed at herself for being so weak and still got shaken up whenever Rodrick showed up.
But then I comforted myself, thinking decluttering isn’t something that happens overnight.
Had to take it slow.
At least she was already doing well now.

So she didn’t let go of Rodrick’s arm the whole time.
