Chapter 103
Rhonda just happily went to pick a restaurant.
Britney waited for about half an hour, and then HR came back. Their expression had clearly changed.
Britney suddenly felt a jolt in her heart, and a bad feeling came over her.
“Sorry, Ms. Harrington, Mr. Thornecroft didn’t approve.” HR handed the resume back to Britney and apologized again, “Sorry for wasting your time.”
Britney took the resume pretty calmly.
Even though she felt pretty down, this wasn’t the first time she’d been through something like this.
And after going through it many times, it wasn’t that hard to accept.
“I wanted to know, what was the reason Mr. Thornecroft didn’t pass? Is it convenient to tell me?” Britney asked humbly.
HR shook their head. “I don’t know either.”
Britney didn’t want to make things hard for the other person, so she just said thanks and left.
While waiting for the elevator in the elevator lobby, Rhonda picked a
restaurant.
Britney replied and said okay.
When the elevator doors opened, there were footsteps and voices

go cold.
It was Rodrick, and Bianca.
Rodrick really took Bianca with him everywhere.
“Mr. Livingston, you were too kind. I really didn’t expect that Mr. Livingston would come in person to talk about such an expansion project. I was really flattered!”
Rodrick said, “This was a project Ms. Webster was in charge of. She just got back from abroad and wasn’t very familiar with the capital in Riverton. With me around, she could feel more at ease.”
Mr. Thornecroft got what Rodrick meant right away, “So Mr. Livingston was here to back up Ms. Webster.”
Bianca smiled gently. Her tone sounded helpless, but mostly she was just showing off her love.
“Rod was just too worried about me. Actually, I could handle it myself, but he just couldn’t relax. He insisted on coming with me, so I had no choice.”
Even though Britney had her back to them, she was still overwhelmed by the flood of sweetness from the two.
The resume was crumpled up in my hand, and those emotions that had been hidden deep inside suddenly burst out at this moment.
Britney turned around and looked at the others.
“Ms. Harrington, why are you still here?” Mr. Thornecroft recognized
Britney.
After all, he had just looked at her resume ten minutes ago.
But he didn’t expect Britney herself to be even prettier and more outstanding than her resume, so he was surprised, but also felt a bit regretful, thinking he shouldn’t have turned her down so soon.
Britney stayed calm and confident. She glanced at Rodrick, then looked at Silvan Thornecroft, “Mr. Thomecroft, I wanted to know why you turned down my job application?”
Silvan didn’t expect Britney to ask so directly, and for a moment didn’t know how to answer.
“Was it because your company found out something during the background check, so you rejected my job application?”
“This…” Silvan was sweating all over.
“Since Mr. Livingston was here, if Mr. Thornecroft had anything unclear, he might as well just ask Mr. Livingston directly. I also wanted to know how Mr. Livingston would answer.” Britney looked at Rodrick with a blank gaze, so calm it was almost numb.
She wondered what seven years of risking her life meant to Rodrick.
What about those nights when we gave our hearts and stayed tangled up all night?
Rodrick didn’t avoid her eyes.
The expression was a half–smile, but that faint hint of a smile never reached the eyes. The brown eyes just had a pale, cold look.
