Chapter101
Obviously, Byron came to her for Royarch Capital and for Rodrick,
“We at Synterra Group had assessment requirements. If Ms. Harrington came, how many projects could she bring to Synterra Group?”
“Sorry Byron, I signed a non–compete with Royarch Capital.”
“I know, I know, industry rules and all. What I mean is, Royarch Capital is such a big group, they must have tons of projects. Even if we just get the leftovers, it’s fine. As long as we get a piece, we can survive. It’s like having a big tree to lean on.” Byron wasn’t hiding his selfishness at all anymore.
“Besides, with your relationship with Mr. Livingston, even if you brought over some projects, he wouldn’t say anything. Guys more or less always remember old times.”
Britney’s heart totally sank.
However, this wasn’t the worst yet.
In the next few days, Britney also talked to HR from a few other companies. Their goals were almost the same as Byron’s.
They all went for Royarch Capital.
She had to lower her standards and reach out to smaller capital firms and investment banks,
Although Britney didn’t have a fancy degree, her resume was impressive enough, and at first, several companies were quite happy
with her
We were chatting, but then she suddenly changed her tune and said she wasn’t a good match.
The thing was, her terms were out in the open from the start, and she told the truth right away, didn’t hide anything.
After Britney kept asking, and after talking for several days, the HR. who had a good impression of Britney, gently told her the problem was with the background check
That is to say, it was Royarch Capital that smeared her record, which made these companies have concerns about her
She couldn’t help but think of the things Rodrick said.
“As long as I didn’t say yes, who in Riverton do you think would dare to hire you?”
So, it was Rodrick who was causing trouble behind my back!
Tears were really weird. When it hurt, I could hold them back. When I was tired. I could hold them back too.
I just couldn’t hold it in when I felt wronged.
Britney got teary–eyed on the busy street.
Rhonda called and asked about how she was doing.
She’d been doing fashion shows abroad these past two months, so busy and all over the place, she hadn’t even had time to really check in on Britney
I just finished a section and called Britney as soon as I landed in Riverton.
Hearing her best friend’s voice. Britney just couldn’t hold it together and broke down in tears on the phone.
“Did that jerk Rodrick bully you? I’ll go fight him right now!”
Even though Britney didn’t say anything. Rhonda still guessed exactly why she was upset.
“Are you a fortune teller or something? How did you know it had something to do with him?”
“Besides him, who else could hurt you?”
Britney paused, her nose still stinging badly, “Is it that obvious?”
Rhonda sighed, really felt bad for Britney, but still just gave a soft “yeah.” “Obviously.”
“Rodrick was such a jerk! Seven years! Not seven days, not seven months, but a whole seven years! How could he do that to you?”
After Rhonda made that call, she went straight from the airport to where Britney was and picked her up to go home.
Every time Britney was in a bad mood, as long as Rhonda was free, she would cook for her herself.
Besides being pretty and having a great figure, Rhonda also cooked really well.
