    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 nced 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


    dys to make you jealous. Moreover, he never touched dys. For such a proud person to humble


    himself for you, I found it quite surprising.”


    Briana 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 butugh, “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.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “So I am not any other woman, and I will notpromise 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 realizeter 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 hade out now, and she would never abandon her bottom line, whether it was


    Maxim or the Schneider family.


    Half an hourter, the two arrived at the dining location.


    As soon as they got off the car, Pam and Sophie went to the door to greet them.


    Pam raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “Ms. Schneider, Ms. Joyce, wee!”


    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 ufortable.”


    With a smile on her face, Pam said, “How could that be? We couldn’t wee you enough.”


    Several people were talking as they walked into the restaurant. The design department had chosen a


    barbecue restaurant. 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 Pam, they basically had no opportunity to interact with Briana and


    Melody.


    Pam 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 nned to go singing at


    night.


    Watching Pam and Sophie hail cabs for the design department one


    by one, Melody couldn’t help but say, “Do you remember when Pam first joined thepany, 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 apany, so she’s been


    exposed to this kind of thing. It’s easy for her, and she will only get better in the future.”
