Rodrick was pretty calm after he heard it.
It seemed like Britney didn’t matter much to Rodrick.
Edward felt proud, but he couldn’t help being a bit salty about Britney.
“I didn’t even know how she got in touch with Rico, and she even acted like they were really close.”
“Was this a new trick she came up with to chase after a guy?”
Edward thought this was very likely. “Before, she tried to get your attention by talking to headhunters on purpose, but you ignored her, so now she’s trying something new. She’s really scheming!”
“Got a smoke?” Rodrick asked out of the blue.
Edward’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted, “Didn’t you not smoke?”
“A bit annoyed.”
Edward was going to ask him what he was upset about, but when he saw Rodrick’s face didn’t look good, he had to swallow his words.

What Federico meant by returning the favor was asking Britney to be his date to the party.
Britney thought he was joking with her.
After all, with Federico’s status, there were plenty of women willing to be his date.

Seeing Britney doubling herself, Federico could only come clean. “I just got transferred back to work at Gnome Bank. There were countless eyes on me in Riverton. I couldn’t afford any mistakes right now. Do you get what I mean?”
Even though he didn’t go into details, Britney still knew what he was like now.
The past two years, Gnome Bank had a lot of infighting. It was a total
mess.
Federico went back to his country at this time, obviously to straighten out Gnome Bank.
Anyone who was around him could have had ulterior motives.
“You seemed to trust me a lot.” Britney joked about herself on purpose, “What if I had my own agenda too?”
After all, these kinds of parties were all about connections and
resources.
Federico didn’t care and said, “Since I dared to come to you, I’d already thought of all the consequences.”
He leaned back a bit, a smile in his peach blossom eyes, “So are you going to help or not?”
“Help!” Britney agreed right away.
Hesitating even one more second at this point was just being disrespectful to capital!
Britney really enjoyed this meal, and even the bad mood Rodrick caused earlier was gone.
Sure enough, new things and new people could cure the problem of

missing the past.
Federico insisted on taking Britney home. It was hard to say no, so. Britney didn’t refuse.
I’d been here once before, so this time I knew my way around.
Federico asked her if it was a house she bought or rented.
“Of course it was rented, places here were really expensive.”
“With your salary, buying a house shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
If it was a mortgage, it was enough.
But she hadn’t thought about it before.
First, Lwas busy with work and couldn’t take care of it.
Second, she was just set on marrying Rodrick and never thought about buying another place.
After all, once a couple got married, didn’t they all live together?
Speaking of which, the place Rodrick was living in now was actually the one she helped pick out back then.
Rodrick didn’t like the original style of the house, so Britney hired a renovation company to redo it.
The layout of every room at home, every little design, even every single thing, was something she picked out carefully.
What was she thinking at that time?
She saw that as her future home, so she put her whole heart into it.
