Britney was surrounded by a dead kind of numbness.
The clothes soaked with alcohol wrapped around her like ice.
Mr. Colton was still saying something, but she didn’t seem to hear clearly.
The noisy sounds around and Rodrick’s leaving figure slowly blurred together in her world.
Everything was gray and bleak.
For the bigger picture, to keep the impact of this thing to a minimum.
In order to protect Bianca’s reputation and keep the partnership between Royarch Capital and Nexus Capital…
She even thought about Mr. Colton’s face.
But I just forgot to think about myself.
He didn’t even think about what to do with his own mess now.
Mr. Colton, who just got angry out of embarrassment, now looked at her with a bit of pity and sympathy in his eyes.
“Britney, are you really going to quit?” Mr. Colton pretended to care a little.
Britney didn’t say anything, just quietly wiped the drink off her face with a tissue.
“If you really quit your job, you could come to Nexus Capital. I’d take

you in.”
Britney said with a blank face, “If I came, Mr. Colton might lose the chance to work with Royarch Capital.”
Mr. Colton suddenly went silent.
This was the reality.
Capitalists never messed with money for anyone.
Rodrick was the same.
Probably because he thought she was too pitiful, before Mr. Colton left, he said meaningfully, “Your Ms. Webster is not simple.”
Mr. Colton didn’t go into details, but he knew that with Britney’s smarts, she would get his hint sooner or later.
Katheryn rushed over and saw how Britney looked, and couldn’t help but feel her eyes sting.
She hadn’t even asked yet, and Britney already said she was fine.
“I have some clothes. They might be a bit big on you, but it’s better than wearing wet ones. It’s easy to catch a cold when it’s cold out.” Katheryn pulled Britney to go change.
Katheryn was one size bigger than Britney, so the clothes didn’t fit her well. They were loose and baggy, and she looked kind of sloppy.
Britney didn’t care either. When she went back to the party, Rodrick was taking Bianca on stage to give a speech.
Bianca, who was just tipsy and didn’t know where she was, now didn’t look drunk at all.

Even the dress was changed, it was exactly the one Britney had custom–made for herself before.
In the end, it still ended up on Bianca.
The couple’s matching outfits caught everyone’s attention.
Almost everything I heard was stuff like how well–matched the two were, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and so on.
These compliments naturally reached Bianca too. She was very satisfied and happy, and she looked really energetic.
Britney got what Mr. Colton just said right away.
Just say it, we’re all adults, there’s no way we couldn’t see through what guys were thinking.
The reason Bianca went along with Mr. Colton was just to get Rodrick’s attention.
Or, let her Britney take the blame.
Of course, she achieved both of her goals, so she looked so full of energy right now.
Britney just stood in the corner, watching from a distance as the two stood side by side.
The light wasn’t bright, but she still felt it was really harsh.
But she changed into a new set of clothes, the hall was definitely warm enough, and she was clearly the one wearing the most layers…
But she still felt incredibly cold.
Britney smiled to herself and didn’t even know what she was laughing
