Seemingly startled by Britney’s intrusion, Bianca let out a soft gasp and tumbled into Rodrick’s arms.
He frowned tightly, scolding Britney icily, “Did you forget how to knock?”
Britney wanted to say she had indeed knocked.
But what was the point of explaining?
“You’ve got no manners at all. This is the professionalism my secretary brings to the office?”
His expression darkened, his tone razor–sharp. It seemed he had completely forgotten about the only privilege he had given her.
“I’m sorry. It won’t happen again,” Britney apologized.
Because there wouldn’t be a next time.
Finally, Bianca looked up from Rodrick’s arms, the lingering flush in her cheeks suggesting their recent intimacy.
“Rod, don’t be so mean. Ms. Harrington didn’t barge in on purpose,” she said in a playfully complaining tone, her
voice sweet.
With that, she looked at Britney with a smile. “Ms. Harrington, you’re here to deliver the project documents, right? Could you leave them on the desk? As you can see, I … can’t quite fetch them at the moment.”
Britney sensibly put the documents on the desk and said flatly, “Several of them need Mr. Livingston’s signature.”
“OK. You may leave now,” Bianca ordered, like she owned the place.
Rodrick added, “If there’s nothing urgent, don’t come in again. Tell this to the others.”
Britney’s heart trembled slightly as she slowly clenched her fingers.
“OK, Mr. Livingston,” she said firmly, making a promise to him.
She didn’t know how she managed to leave that suffocating office.
All she could remember was that Bianca had been staying in Rodrick’s embrace all the time, having no intention of standing up.
And it seemed Rodrick wasn’t about to push her away.
She presumed that he was irritated by her interruption.
Knowing him for seven years, it was the first time she had seen him lose control.

It made her feel that his calmness and rationality had been nothing but a facade.
Perhaps men would only lose control and get all passionate when they were with the women they loved.
The Rodrick she knew would never have done something this inappropriate in his office.
When it was time to clock out, Britney turned off her computer and stood up, ready to leave.
The others in Secretariat were all slack–jawed.

After all, she was a well–known workaholic in Royarch Capital, holding the company’s highest overtime record all year long.
After taking on Investment Division III’s responsibilities, she had basically lived in the office.
Yet today, she got off work on time?
How shocking!
As she stepped out of the company, Randell Brandt called her.
If it were in the past, she would have rejected his call or come up with an excuse to turn him down.
Because he was a headhunter.
He had tried to poach her several times, and her answer had always been the same–no.
But this time, she picked up without hesitation.
Randell was so stunned that for a second, he almost forgot why he called.
She took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Brandt, care to join me for dinner?”
Randell was thrilled. “Yes! Of course! Any time for you, Ms. Harrington! What would you like to eat? I’ll book a
restaurant now!”
She said, “If it’s OK with you, I prefer something light. My stomach isn’t great.”
Randell agreed readily, “You got it! I’ll text you the address soon. See you later!”
“See you,” she replied.
After going back home and changing her clothes, she went to the restaurant.
The price of her rented apartment was crazy, but it was close to the office, convenient for commuting and overtime.
