At the end, I also shared with everyone the photos I just took of the first snow.
There was a familiar figure in the upper right corner of the photo, looking down at their phone.
The light from the phone screen faintly lit up the sharp outline of the man’s face.
Who else could it be but Rodrick?
So, was this going public with the relationship?
It was earlier than Britney expected, but it made sense.
After all, they had even met each other’s parents, so going public was just a matter of time.
Everyone in the group was rushing to send their blessings to the two.
Britney quietly left the group chat, opened her chat with Rodrick again, and unsent the message she just sent.
Rodrick didn’t respond, maybe he was too busy.
But Britney felt it was more about being ignored.

After all, it wasn’t the first time he ignored her messages like t
When did it probably/start?

Rodrick’s attitude started to change about a year ago,
He often went abroad on business trips alone. He used to take Britney with him, since she was his secretary.
Looking back, maybe he just wanted to use the business trip as an excuse to see Bianca.
Not bringing her was just natural.
Too bad she didn’t know back then, and thought he was just busy with the subsidiary’s IPO.
She even thoughtfully made all the best preparations for him before he went on business trips.
Kept reminding him over and over about things to watch out for, and found festaurants in advance at his business trip location that suited
his taste…

Rodrick’s attitude back then was always kind of distant, and the way he looked at her was really complicated.
Maybe, at that time he was already thinking about ending it.
I just didn’t want to be the bad guy in this relationship, so I chose to be cold to her.
But she always thought his change was just because he was busy with work.
In the end, she just didn’t know when to quit.

Britney wasn’t affected by this. She went to bed on time to get enough rest for tomorrow.
Woke up in the morning, it was another day full of energy.
Cecily asked on WhatsApp if she would go see Elias today.
Britney said she was going.
Cecily said, “Then I’ll leave my brother to you. I won’t go and be a third wheel.”
Britney just gave a helpless smile and didn’t reply to her message.
Cecily’s little thoughts, there’s no way she didn’t get them.
She had just ended a seven–year relationship and was exhausted. She wasn’t planning to start anything new
And the little girl meant well, so I didn’t want to ruin her mood.
When I was about to exit the messages, my eyes glanced at the chat with Rodrick.
Still no response.
Britney quickly removed him from her recent chat list, then went out to keep looking for investors.
I went to two places this morning, still got nothing.
Bought some food at noon and went to the hospital to see Elias, found that he was still working even with an IV drip.
Because I was too focused, I didn’t even notice the IV bag was empty and blood had backed up into the needle.
Britney rushed over to help him, changed to a new IV bag, let the air

out, and did everything really quickly.
Elias couldn’t help but ask her, “How did you deal with this?”
