Federico said lightly, “Don’t know him, probably just came over to hit
on us.”
Hearing that, Bianca smirked, “She was just treating you like a sucker. Ive seen plenty of women like that.”
Federico didn’t answer her, but said hi to Rodrick behind her, “Rod, long time no see.”
Rodrick replied casually, “Long time no see.”
Edward found out that Rodrick and Bianca had arrived, so he came out early to greet them. He happened to overhear their conversation and couldn’t help joking, “When did you two get so formal? Or is it that rivals in love get extra jealous when they meet?”
Bianca smoothed things over, “Stop messing around.”
She said that, but her face looked happy and proud.
Rodrick and Federico were the two best men of their generation.
One was her ex.
Another one, about to become her current one.

Britney and Byron had a great chat this time.
But since she hadn’t fully ended her contract with Royarch Capital, Britney didn’t give Byron a clear answer.

Byron personally walked her to the door of the Celestia Club.
Britney said she called a car and told him to go first, since he drank a bit too much.
While waiting for the bus, Britney saw a familiar license plate.
It was Rodrick’s car.
She used to drive a lot.
There was still a lucky charm she got for him hanging in the car.
The black Maybach stopped steadily in front of her, the window rolled down, showing Rodrick’s almost perfect face.
Britney met his eyes from not too far away.
I didn’t know if it was just my imagination.
Or maybe it was just that the night was too dark, and that made her feel like Rodrick was looking at her so gently.
Britney clearly felt her heart skip a beat.
In those nights of desperate passion, she had again and again lost herself in those deep eyes.
“Rod, have you been waiting long?”
I heard Bianca’s voice behind me.
Britney woke up in a second.
How did she think Rodrick was there to pick her up?
Luckily, the car she called also arrived, and Britney made a messy
escape.

On the way back, she kept the window open, making the driver keep checking on her in the rearview mirror.
“Drank too much, wanna sober up.” Britney explained to him.
But she didn’t drink much tonight.
At the end, the driver said a bit uncertainly. “If you throw up in the car, it’s two hundred.”
Britney.
She subconsciously touched her own face.
It wasn’t that obvious, right?
Because she had some drinks at night, Britney was worried her stomach might feel bad later, so she ate a bowl of soup at a shop near her neighborhood, then slowly walked back home.
As soon as I walked in, I saw someone sitting in the living room.
It was Rodrick.
Britney paused for a second.
He thought, Shouldn’t he be spending a wonderful night with Bianca right now?
How did you suddenly show up in her rental place?
She looked back at the password lock and sighed to herself.
No matter how much I planned, I still missed one thing.
Forgot to change the front door code.
But back then, she was the one who took the initiative and happily told

Rodrick the door code.
It was hard for him to still remember.
After all, I hadn’t really come to her little place before.
Maybe it was because I worked in finance, I was always sensitive to numbers.
Britney changed her shoes unhurriedly, thinking about why Rodrick came to see her.
