But Elias made it clear to her, “I only wanted to work with you.””
“You looked for a company, so I worked with your company. You started your own business, so I worked with you. Anyway,
I chose you as a person.”
He also said, “I’m even glad the deal with Royarch Capital fell
through. If I had signed the contract and then found out you left
Royarch Capital, that would really not be worth it.”
Britney was really touched.
But while I was touched, I didn’t forget to remind Elias about all
the problems we were facing.
First, it was definitely a money problem.
There was only that little bit of startup money, and if we really started running things, it probably wouldn’t last long before it was all burned through.
If the cash flow broke down later, the project was very likely to fall through…
That was what really meant sorry for what Elias did for this
Chapter112
project in the beginning.
So Britney’s plan was to try to find new investors as soon as
possible.
Worked with them to co–develop and incubate this project.
Although doing this could lower the initial investment, it also meant giving up some data rights.
“I didn’t understand how business worked, but I trusted Ms. Harrington’s ability. Let’s just split up the work: you find
investors, I handle the tech.”
Ms. Harrington?
This title… actually worked for me.
The shadow that had been bothering Britney for days finally cleared up at this moment.
“Well then, happy to work together!” Britney shook hands with Elias sincerely.
“Happy to work together.”
When Britney was in a good mood, someone just had to come and ruin it.

This person wasn’t anyone else, it was Bianca.
I didn’t know how she found out about Britney, but she came
over on purpose to say hi, “Britney, it really is you. I thought I
saw someone who looked like you, but I thought I was
mistaken.”
She was talking to Britney, but her eyes kept glancing at Elias,
obviously trying to figure out their relationship.
After all, Elias was about the same age as Britney, and they were
eating alone, so it was easy for people to think of something else.
Britney didn’t really want to talk to Bianca, so her face looked
kind of indifferent.
Elias saw that she didn’t really want to pay attention to Bianca,
so he didn’t say anything either.
The silence and ignoring from the two made Bianca, who had
come over to say hi, feel a bit awkward.
Luckily, Rodrick showed up at the crucial moment.
Bianca suddenly felt confident and talked to Rodrick with a big
smile.
The voice was obviously much softer than when talking to

them, like

“Rod, guess who I ran into? It was Britney! Can you believe it?”
Rodrick glanced at the two with no expression, and there wasn’t any extra emotion in his cold eyes.
Bianca held his arm and swayed it a little, like couples do when they’re being cute, “Since we ran into them like this, why don’t we ask them to join us?”
Britney subconsciously frowned and got ready to say no.
But then I heard Rodrick say, “On such an important day, are you sure you want to invite two outsiders too?”
His tone was clearly calm, but the words outsider still stabbed Britney in the chest like a needle.
Those nights when we were so close turned out to be the biggest joke now.
His answer really pleased Bianca.
