SWNOVELS Chapter 29
Sydney was barking orders at two co-workers. They exchanged glances, both finding Sydney's behavior a bit much, but neither dared to stand up to her. "Sorry."
They meticulously checked through all of Brittany's belongings to ensure there were no important documents. Looking at Brittany with her red-rimmed eyes, they felt as if they had done something wrong. They had even lost the mood to enjoy a good drama.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Brittany's eyes were red and swollen, her voice choked up, and her colleagues couldn't help but feel for her.
Sydney, satisfied, said, "Brittany, if you still want to continue in this industry, it's best not to cross me. Otherwise, you'll have a tough time!"
Brittany packed her things and left VelvetGlow Jewellery, leaving her colleagues exchanging glances.
Despite Brittany's past record of plagiarism, she had taken on two major projects just half a month after joining VelvetGlow Jewellery, proving her capabilities.
To some extent, they not only despised Brittany but were also jealous of her!
Frank's constant targeting was clear to them. They dared not resist, but inwardly they were not happy. After all, as designers, who would accept seeing their hard-earned designs credited to someone else? After leaving VelvetGlow, Brittany received a notification from the bank. Her salary for this month had been paid out. Frank apparently didn't want to take the matter to court, so he acted quickly.
Brittany put her things in the car, sat in the driver's seat, and rubbed her temples, suddenly feeling bored.
Work was not going well. Life was not going well. Even the little warmth she was looking forward to couldn't be retained.
She leaned on the steering wheel, sobbing quietly. After a while, she dried her tears and drove to Grandeur Capital.
Upon arriving, Brittany sat in the car waiting for Hannah. At eight o'clock in the evening, Hannah finished work and got into the car, exhausted. "Sorry for making you wait, Bri."
"Our big boss must be out of his mind. He held a meeting for over six hours today. I'm exhausted."
Hannah buckled her seatbelt, turned her head and noticed Brittany's red and swollen eyes. Clearly, she had been crying.
"What happened?"
Brittany shrugged it off with a laugh, "Nothing much. I quit my job."
"Why?" Hannah rolled up her sleeves. "Did Sydney bully you?"
What's up with that Sydney? Why is she always picking on Brittany?
"No, I just didn't want to do it anymore." Brittany didn't want Hannah to get into trouble with Sydney, "I want to take a break and re-evaluate my life."
Hannah gritted her teeth, and decided to have a word with Sydney privately. She needed to know that Brittany was not someone she could push around! "Alright, let's go check out the apartment."
Hannah changed the subject, "Don't you live with your husband? Why are you moving?"
Brittany's expression darkened, "We're only married for show. Living together is too inconvenient."
She didn't know what she did wrong. In just one night, Isaac's attitude had changed! Since he had clearly indicated for her to leave, there was no point in her staying at his place. Hannah wanted to amend what she thought she had said, but she immediately realized something.
Isaac and Nathan came down the stairs together, seemingly discussing something. Isaac's eyebrows were slightly furrowed; he obviously wasn't satisfied with the current situation.
A black car was parked downstairs. Nathan opened the door and Isaac got in after saying a few more words.
Hannah had seen Isaac before, but his looks still amazed her. Even in the entertainment industry, he was top-notch!
"Look, there's our big boss. Look quick-"
Hannah excitedly grabbed Brittany's hand, pointing towards Isaac, her eyes sparkling.
