Briana pursed her lips, “Hmm.
Melody sighed and slowly asked, “Do you still like him?”
Briana didn’t speak, but Melody saw her unconsciously tighten her grip on the steering wheel. She knew in her
heart what was going on.
“Briana, if you still have feelings for Maxim, I think you could give him another chance. After all, even though he lied
to you about the Hector situation, he did it out of fear of losing you. I believe he truly loves you.”
Briana glanced at her, raising an eyebrow, “Didn’t you just say a few days ago that he was a jerk? How come
you’ve suddenly changed your attitude?”
“I previously thought he had betrayed you, but after investigating, I found out that he was only with Gladys to make
you jealous. Moreover, he never touched Gladys. For such a proud person to humble himself for you, I found it quite
surprising.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBriana chuckled and slowly said, “Indeed, he did bow his head for me, but don’t forget, he also deceived me many
times. What I need is a normal lover, not a control freak who fantasizes about controlling my life.”
Melody couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you know how many people wish to be treated by Maxim like this? If it were
another woman, she would be so happy with Maxim’s attention that she wouldn’t know which way is up.”
“So I am not any other woman, and I will not compromise with his
unreasonable behavior,” Briana said calmly, her eyes full of determination.
Melody unconsciously looked at her, nodding and said, “Briana, this is why I like you. We all tend to compromise to
some extent, but you always stick to your principles, never allowing anyone to cross the line.”
Briana shook her head, “No, I too have abandoned my own principles before, only to realize later that it only made
others look down on me even more.”
Since she returned to the Schneider family, she had abandoned her once pride in order to fit into the Schneider
family, but what she got in return was the Schneider family’s repeated hurts.
Now she understood, one must love oneself before loving others. If she abandoned all her edges just to please
others, it would only make her seem easy to bully.
Melody didn’t speak again, but she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache inside.
Briana had seen the efforts that the Schneider family and Maxim had made in the past, but at the time, she felt
they were not worth it.
Fortunately, she had come out now, and she would never abandon her bottom line, whether it was Maxim or the
Schneider family.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the dining location.
As soon as they got off the car, Pamela and Sophie went to the door to greet them.
Pamela raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “Ms. Schneider, Ms. Joyce, welcome!”
Briana nodded subtly, while Melody smiled and said, “We’re off work now, no need to call me boss. I hope our
presence tonight won’t make you feel uncomfortable.”
With a smile on her face, Pamela said, “How could that be? We couldn’t welcome you enough.”
Several people were talking as they walked into the restaurant. The design department had chosen a barbecue
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrestaurant. The shop was decorated in a Korean style, and as soon as they walked in, they saw many Korean words
and posters on the wall.
Upon seeing Briana and Melody, the rest of the design department was still somewhat reserved. After all, apart
from Sophie and Pamela, they basically had no opportunity to interact with Briana and Melody.
Pamela gave them the main seats. After they sat down, Melody said with a smile, “We’re just here to mooch off
your food, you don’t need to mind us, just do your own thing.”
At first, everyone was a bit restrained. But after seeing that Briana and Melody were just chatting with each other
and not paying attention to them, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
Halfway through the meal, when Melody mentioned their bonus, it instantly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Seeing the undisguised happiness on their faces, the corners of Briana’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.
The party of the design department didn’t end until after eleven o’clock at night.
If it weren’t for the fact that they had to work the next day, they would have planned to go singing at night.
Watching Pamela and Sophie hail cabs for the design department one
by one, Melody couldn’t help but say, “Do you remember when Pamela first joined the company, she was so
nervous just to show you a design sketch. In just over half a year, she has matured a lot.”
Briana chuckled and slowly said, “Her family has always been running a company, so she’s been exposed to this
kind of thing. It’s easy for her, and she will only get better in the future.”
