Yeah, she had been simping for Rodrick for seven years, and when she suddenly stopped listening to him and started having her own ideas and choices, he started getting unhappy.
“In the hospital during the day, I thought I made it very clear, we’re done, Rodrick.” She didn’t mind repeating it.
Whether he really didn’t get it or was just pretending, she wanted him to understand that there was no way back for this relationship.
“No matter if you saw me as your girlfriend or not these past few years, we’re done!”
The room was quiet for a long time, and it felt like the air was frozen.
Rodrick just stared at her coldly, his dark eyes full of chill and coldness.
After a moment, he spoke, his voice colder than the night, “Because of Federico?”
Britney went blank for a second and didn’t get it.
It wasn’t until I saw the contempt and sneer in the man’s eyes that I got what he really meant.
So, in Rodrick’s eyes, she Britney was actually that kind of person!
So ridiculous.
I don’t know if it was because of the recent drop in temperature.
After Britney took a deep breath, she felt like all her insides were

Bone–chilling cold.
What made him think he could?
He was the one who changed his mind first!
The first one to betray was him too!
Why did they end up dumping the blame on her?
The biting cold kept her somewhat sane. She heard herself calmly talking back to Rodrick, “Didn’t I learn this from you? The seamless transition is actually pretty fun.”

Lately, everyone at work felt like model worker Britney had changed and wasn’t the same as before.
She not only started showing up to work on time, but also dressed differently than before.
The whole person looked radiant, which really felt unbelievable.
After all, in everyone’s eyes, she was unlucky at work, and in love… she was unlucky too.
Even though Mr. Livingston never admitted their relationship in public, smart people could tell right away.
Now that the main wife was back, everyone thought Britney would be down and out.
But she acted like nothing happened, just did whatever she was supposed to do, and you couldn’t see any sadness or pain on her face at

On the contrary.
Mr. Livingston actually got a bit weird.
He was supposed to be the one who had it all–love and career–but he just walked around with a long face every day.
The whole president’s office felt super tense.
Except for the three directors including Bianca, all the other department investment directors got totally chewed out.
In the past, when this happened, everyone would go to Britney for help.
Because in the whole company, only Britney could put up with Rodrick’s temper, and she knew how to calm him down. She always managed to put out his fire right on time.
But this time, Britney turned them all down one by one.
Milo Middleton, the director of Investment Division II, was almost in tears, “Auntie, please help me, I really have no other way.”
“Sorry.” Britney shut down the computer right on time and made it clear to Milo, “I can’t help you.”
“Britney, Britney…”
Britney didn’t pay attention and, like always, put the files that needed Rodrick to handle himself, along with a new resignation letter, in Rodrick’s office before leaving work on time.
Milo was freaking out.
