“Isn’t being thinner good?”
“Not good!” Federico said flatly. “Gotta take good care of it.”
After saying that, he called the waiter over and ordered all the light and stomach–friendly dishes in the restaurant.
Britney didn’t have time to stop it.
“I couldn’t eat that much again!”
“I could help you eat! You had no idea how much I suffered from awful food during those years abroad! Every time I went back, the first thing I did was rush to a restaurant and stuff myself with local food!”
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and the vibe was pretty chill.
Bianca came out to go to the bathroom, and when she passed by the restaurant, she accidentally saw Britney.
Because Federico was facing away from her, Bianca didn’t see his face so she didn’t recognize him.
But what was certain was, Britney was having dinner with another
guy.
This discovery made Bianca really excited, and she couldn’t wait to go. back to the room to share her big find with Rodrick.
“Rod, guess who I saw outside!”
“Who?”

“Britney!”
When Bianca signed up, she especially watched Rodrick’s reaction.
Rodrick reacted pretty calmly, “What’s so special about that?”
Bianca said, “Of course it wasn’t surprising to run into Britney! The surprising thing was that Britney was on a date!”
“Man!”
She made a point to emphasize.
“Eat well,” Rodrick reminded her.
Bianca’s eyes were curved in a smile, and she didn’t miss any expression on Rodrick’s face.
She was happy with his reaction.
It looked like my worries were unnecessary.
Rodrick wasn’t into Britney.
These past few years, Rodrick only had Britney around him, but he probably just saw her as a tool.
After all, men always had needs.
To put it bluntly, Britney was just a way for Rodrick to get off.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been no progress at all between the two of them for seven years.
Also, Bianca didn’t think much of Britney.
Although Britney was pretty, Bianca wasn’t bad either.

But what Bianca had, Britney didn’t necessarily have
Like having a great family background.
For example, high education.
All the things she had were things Britney could never reach in her whole life.
So Elowen told her she didn’t need to care about Britney, just focus on Rodrick.
Looking back, the older you are, the wiser you get. Mom had more foresight than her.
“Got it!” Bianca was in a great mood.
***
Lila’s surgery was scheduled for Friday.
Britney came to the hospital early. These two days, she went to the company to check in every day.
After I finished my work, I used the celebration dinner as an excuse to come to the hospital.
Britney handled the celebration parties before, so it wasn’t hard for her to do it again. No need to keep following up.
So she spent most of the time at the hospital with Lila.
Lila always worried that she neglected her work because she took care of herself.
Britney just said it was Rodrick who approved her leave.
Lila liked hearing that and even praised Rodrick for being thoughtful.

Britney mocked in her mind, Rodrick was pretty considerate, but his thoughtfulness was only visible to Bianca.
Lila almost asked Rodrick every day.
Every time, Britney just brushed it off by saying Rodrick was busy with work.
When getting ready for the surgery, Lila asked about it again.
Britney still used the same excuse, “He’s busy, he’ll come when he has time.”
This time Lila felt a bit regretful, “I was just afraid I couldn’t get out…”
