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?”

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