But it was still because of this discovery that there was a fine, sharp pain in my chest.
Even breathing was hard.
She told herself.
It was going to be fine.
It was all going to be fine.
Once I left Rodrick, everything was fine.
Britney ironed the dress and hung it up, printed out another resignation letter and took it to Rodrick’s office, and it was just time to get off work.
She got off work on time again.
Katheryn seemed to have gotten used to it and wasn’t as surprised as before.
I saw Britney put on some lipstick before getting off work, so I got curious and came over to ask, “Britney, got a date tonight?”
“Kind of.”
Britney packed up her stuff, said goodbye to Katheryn, and got off work on time.
Katheryn still had some things left to do, so she had to work overtime.
Halfway through, Rodrick called on the intercom, “Where’s Britney?”

“She got off work ”
Rodrick wondered. “Off work again?”
“Yeah.” Katheryn heard a bit of surprise in his tone.
It was supposed to be surprising.
After all, Britney rarely got off work on time before.
If Rodrick was at the company, she definitely wouldn’t have left early.
After a moment of silence, Rodrick hung up the phone.
Katheryn didn’t know what Rodrick’s expression was like at that moment, but from his tone, it wasn’t hard to tell he seemed pretty uncomfortable.
Back then, Britney always answered Rodrick and responded to everything he said.
But recently, she was acting so weird that it made him feel inexplicably annoyed.
Bianca came over and just pushed the door open. She smiled and said, “Rod, how much longer till you get off work?”
“Right away, there were still a few documents that hadn’t been signed.”
“Then I waited for you, and we ate together later.”
Rodrick focused on handling the files, and when he signed the last
his hand paused for a moment.

Another resignation letter again.

This was the second one this month.
Is she still mad?
“What’s wrong?” Bianca looked up and saw Rodrick’s strange expression, so she asked with concern.
Rodrick just grabbed the resignation letter and tossed it into the drawer, “It’s nothing, I’m done here, let’s go eat.”
“Okay.” Bianca was really looking forward to having dinner with him.

Britney showed up at the arrival gate on time.
Federico saw her as soon as he came out.
“He really came to pick me up.” Federico was in a pretty good mood.
Britney smiled, “I promised, of course I couldn’t break my word.”
“That’s more like it.” Federico left the airport with her, chatting and laughing.
Britney had booked the restaurant in advance, and after picking up Federico, she just drove straight there.
When I got there, it was just dinner time, and there were quite a few people eating in the restaurant.
When they sat down, Britney told Federico about the restaurant’s specialties.
Federico was pretty satisfied, but he noticed during the meal that Britney only ate light dishes.
I couldn’t help but ask, “I remember you used to really like spicy food,

didn’t you?”
Britney explained, “My stomach wasn’t good these past two years, and the doctor didn’t let me eat spicy food. To take care of my stomach, I could only eat mild dishes.”
“No wonder you were so skinny.” Federico frowned, “I still
remembered the first time I saw you at Ms. Holmes’s place, your face was still chubby.”
Then looked Britney up and down, “Now you’re as skinny as a rake.”
