He was a big shot ranked at the top in the northern capital circle.
That is to say, you had to show some respect.
Britney had no choice but to pick up her glass and clink it with Clifford Ewing.
The words were the same as before, already etched into Britney’s bones like muscle memory.
“Mr. Ewing, I’m really sorry, our Mr. Livingston was allergic to alcohol, so he couldn’t drink with you. I’ll drink with you for him.”
Luckily, Clifford was a gentleman. He politely said, “Miss, if your stomach doesn’t feel well, you don’t have to drink, it’s okay. The friendship between Mr. Livingston and me doesn’t need to be measured by alcohol.”
“Thank you, Mr. Ewing.”
Clifford already said so, so the others there just skipped the drinking part.
Britney had just secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then Bianca showed up.
As soon as she came over, she just naturally held onto Rodrick’s arm, always showing how close she was to Rodrick.
She started chatting with the bosses with a big smile.
Britney noticed that Bianca was holding juice, not alcohol.

I guess it was Rodrick’s permission.
After all, before, he didn’t care about his own alcohol allergy and blocked drinks for Bianca himself.
This was probably what it felt like to be cherished and cared for.
She had followed Rodrick for seven years. Thinking about it, she seemed to have never felt his special treatment.
I never got any pity from this man.
Even when she clearly told him, My stomach doesn’t feel well.
He just reminded her not to neglect the important guest.
Bianca only showed up for a month, but she got all his care and
attention.
It really was different.
First love really was what a man wanted all his life.
Even Rodrick couldn’t escape this trend.
Britney calmly looked away and turned to leave, but then she saw Federico walking toward her.
Britney didn’t know Federico would come, mainly because he hadn’t mentioned it before.
But then I thought it was totally normal for him to come.
Riverton’s circle was just that small, Rodrick and Federico had known each other since they were kids, and their families were also on good
terms.

needed to keep in touch more.
Bianca saw Federico too and greeted him with a big smile, “Rico, why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you forever.”
Federico said, “The traffic jam made me a bit late.”
“That tie you’re wearing is the one I gave you, right? It really suits you.” Bianca casually straightened his tie for him.
It made people feel they were really close, but still kept things appropriate.
Everything was just right.
Britney just remembered the gossip she’d heard outside the Celestia Club’s private room before.
Rodrick said the most exciting thing he’d ever done was being the third wheel for love.
It was exactly because of what he said that Edward figured out the person Rodrick was hiding in his heart was Bianca.
Edward also said, Bianca was the one who chased after Federico to go
abroad.
So… Rodrick and Federico were love rivals.
Britney was trying to figure out the messy relationships when Federico walked over to her and said, “You don’t look so good. Didn’t sleep well?”
His sudden concern actually threw Britney off. She shook her head a bit awkwardly, “No.”
“Drank some?” Federico smelled a faint scent of alcohol on her. His

not good and you still drank?”
