He was a real capitalist, how could he possibly have a big kind heart?
In a corner nobody noticed, Bianca’s lips pressed together without her realizing it.
Was Rodrick really just keeping Britney for the penalty fee?
***
Britney didn’t really do much all afternoon, just leaned over her computer and kept going over that long contract she’d signed when she wasn’t thinking straight.
Royarch Capital’s legal team wasn’t messing around.
I couldn’t find a single loophole in the whole contract!
That is to say, besides losing money and Rodrick kindly letting her quit, she had no third option.
This discovery made Britney feel desperate.
Back then, I was out of my mind, and now all that’s turned into tears of regret.
People really did have to pay for the impulsive things they did when they were young.
Since I couldn’t win head–on, I just didn’t care anymore and let this capitalist spend money to support freeloaders!
Britney turned off her computer right on time and still left wor

Just as I got into the elevator, Rodrick’s call came in.
It was like they knew exactly what to do–they didn’t call her desk phone, but called her cell instead.
Looks like from now on she not only had to turn off the computer on time, but also had to turn off her phone on time.
Britney reluctantly picked up.
Rodrick said coldly, “Meeting in ten minutes.”
Britney paused and said, “Mr. Livingston, I’m already off work.”
It wasn’t hard for her to imagine how bad Rodrick’s face looked right
now.
But so what?
Out of sight, out of mind for her!
So as soon as she finished talking, Britney hung up the phone without any hesitation.
The gloom I’d felt all afternoon finally got a bit of relief at this moment.
Although this feeling was just temporary, it was still cool for a bit!
It was Rodrick himself who wouldn’t let her go, so he had to be ready for her ‘protest‘.
She was barefoot. Was she supposed to be afraid of someone with shoes?
Britney, who just had a little fun, walked out of the company gate and saw someone she knew.
It was Federico.
He came to find Britney on purpose, said he was taking her to try on dresses.
I almost forgot, she promised to go with Federico to the business party.
Britney just didn’t expect that the dress shop Federico took her to was actually Blossom Apparel.
“What happened?”
Federico saw Britney standing at the door staring at the sign, lost in thought, and couldn’t help asking.
Britney shook her head, “Nothing.”
“This dress shop was pretty well–known in Riverton, just not sure if they had any styles you liked.”
Federico should have told the boss in advance, and as soon as he came in, he got a warm welcome from the manager.
“These were all our store’s newest arrivals.” The manager showed the greatest sincerity.
Britney picked out a light purple dress and was just about to try
- on.
The store manager got a call, his expression changed, then he looked a bit embarrassed and said, “Sorry, this dress was already reserved by a
customer.”
Britney didn’t mind and switched to another one.
She had a great figure, so she looked good in anything, and that’s why she picked out a dress pretty quickly.
Federico checked the time and saw it was mealtime, so he suggested, Let’s eat together.

Actually, even if he hadn’t brought it up. Britney was going to mention it too, so it just happened to be a coincidence. Chapter
