Chapter 2

With an indifferent raised eyebrow and a blank expression, Briana stated, “I reached out to you. That should convey my seriousness.”

Melody laughed and started the car. “I wanted you to drop Maxim’s sorry ass a long time ago. You sacrificed so much to treat his legs. Yet, he’s still fooling with Kiley behind your back. What a dirtbag. Men are nothing. You should focus on earning more money.”

Seeing that Melody was getting worked up and the car was speeding up, Briana chuckled.

“Calm down. I just left a grave. I don’t want to enter another one so soon.”

Melody relaxed secretly, noticing Briana had joked with her. She said suggestively, “What’s your plan next?”

Even if Briana didn’t contact Melody, Melody would go to Briana sometime later.

“I want to take a break. How is the company doing?”

Briana had used all her energy on Maxim these years and ignored MY Corporation, the fashion company she founded. She entrusted the business to the shareholders and only cared about her dividends.

Briana didn’t check her bank account. But her company should be doing well if they followed the operating plan she set before leaving.

Melody’s face fell and she sighed, “We’ll talk about it after you return from your vacation…”

Briana arched her eyebrows. Melody’s tone sounded ominous.
