“I think I just saw the two of them go back to the hotel together…“.
A group of people inside were laughing and joking, having a great time.
Britney put down her phone and kept focusing on revising the plan.
I just hoped to make the plan simpler and clearer, and also touching, so Lila could get a chance for a consultation.
***
Early Monday morning, after Britney left Lila with the caregiver, she waited by the gate.
Didn’t miss any chance to run into the expert team.
But she waited from morning till afternoon and still didn’t see the expert team, so she couldn’t help feeling anxious.
Katheryn texted her and asked if she could come back to the office now, saying Rodrick lost his temper.
Britney didn’t reply.
Even if the sky fell at Royarch Capital right now, she wouldn’t have time to go back.
So she just turned off her phone and kept waiting.
Over at Royarch Capital, Katheryn didn’t get a reply, so she had to nervously go into Rodrick’s office.

Rodrick was already in a bad mood. When he saw it was Katheryn coming in, his face got even darker. “Where’s Britney?“.
Katheryn was nervous, “She hasn’t come yet, and she didn’t reply to my message.”
“Won’t you call her?” Rodrick said sternly.
Katheryn had never seen anything like this, so she got scared and quickly called Britney.
But the “phone is powered off” message on the other end made her feel hopeless, but she could only bite the bullet and tell Rodrick the truth, “Britney’s phone is off!”
“Got some skills now!” A cloud suddenly darkened the man’s sharp features.
Bianca pushed the door open before Rodrick got mad, “Rod, I’m here to give you a work update.”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the office was off, I asked again, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Rodrick said, “Britney skipped work.”
Bianca raised her eyebrows, “Is Britney this unruly now? That’s not good for company management.”
Katheryn nervously explained to Britney, “Britney must have been held up by something really important, that’s why she didn’t come to the office. Besides, Mr. Livingston knows how dedicated Britney has been all these years. She definitely wouldn’t skip work for no reason.”
“If everything was about personal feelings, then what’s the point of having rules?” Bianca looked at Rodrick with a smile. “Rod, Britney was your secretary. Everything she did represented your attitude. If you

covered for her, others would have a problem with it.”
So, Rodrick announced in a cold tone, “Just follow the procedure, deduct her quarterly bonus. If she shows up tomorrow, treat it as a voluntary resignation!”
Katheryn suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Britney didn’t know about the decision Rodrick made, she was just focused on the expert team.
It was almost time to get off work, but the expert team still hadn’t shown up.
Britney had to find Kellan to ask what was going on.
Kellan had just gotten off the operating table and was really surprised when he heard what Britney said, “You don’t know yet? Dr. Hale went straight to the airport to pick someone up, so he probably won’t come to the hospital today.”
Britney caught some other emotion on Kellan’s face and couldn’t help asking, “Did Dr. Hale go alone?”
Kellan sighed, “Of course not. They actually invited me too, but I had a surgery to do and couldn’t leave, so I didn’t go.“.
Britney also knew that a lot of people fought for this kind of top medical resource.
She didn’t dare relax at all and quickly asked Kellan where the experts had gone.
