Chapter 266

“What’s going on? Who texted you? Neil stopped at the intersection up alead. As the traffic light turned red, he turned to me with a question

I put my phone back in my pocket and replied nonchalantly, “It was Stella Nothing important”

Neil gave a faint smile, a cold one at that “She told you about Russel getting engaged, didn’t she?”

I was taken aback, “You already knew?”

What else could it be?” Neil turned his gaze back to the road, his tone chilly, “I know about it way before you did. He has always lived according to his parents wishes. He only managed to study medicine because he threatened his parents with quitting school altogether”

I never knew Russel had to struggle that much just to study medicine. I felt guilty, as he had quit his job at the hospital because of me

There is no future for you two. It’s best for you to let go. Neil added

I didn’t respond and just pursed my lips tightly. Noticing that I was upset, Neil didnt say anything more.

When we got to the company building, I got out of the car in silence, Neil didn’t leave immediately. He only drove away after I entered the office building.

In a sense, Russel’s engagement was good news for me, as it meant i didn’t have to worry about him not being able to let go of me. Chloe was a nice girl, They were a good match.

But then I remember him once telling me that he would never marry a woman he didn’t love, no matter how much pressure his family put on him. How did he suddenly change his mind?

I sincerely hoped Russel would be happy and he wouldn’t start a loveless marriage. Otherwise, they would end up like me and Neil. A tragic story.

In the afternoon, my assistant came to me, Mr. Russel wants to see you”
