Chapter 199

That abandoned mansion must have been rigged with surveillance gear, for sure.

Bonnie’s plan was to keep me and Russel under her thumb, so Neil would give up.

I’ve gotta thank her for that.

Now that I’ve chosen to be with Russel, I don’t give a rat’s ass about the bad press. But I do worry about my parents, especially my dad; he was in a particular line of work where all this news would bother him.

The internet was buzzing with comments. Most of them were discussing that the relationships in our circle were a hot mess.

Some folks didn’t know when to quit. They were calling out Neil on social media to come see what was going on between his ex-wife and his best friend.

Under normal circumstances, Neil should have sent someone to do some PR, but he didn’t react, as if he just vanished.

After getting discharged, I rested at home for a day and then went straight back to work.

“Ms. Finch, these are your flowers: please sign for them” Around noon, a courier delivered a large bouquet of beautiful flowers.

I was surprised, but after I signed and read the card, I realized that they were from Russel.

He had really nice handwriting.

The other employees saw this and started cracking jokes. They must have seen the news these past few days. But because of who I am, they never brought it up in front of me; instead, they were really nice to me.

This was the first time I received flowers at work. I felt a bit embarrassed but also really content.

Soon after, Russel called. “Did you get the flowers?”
