Both Childhood Friends Were Left with Nothing

Neil's words were like needles, piercing my heart.

"Fine, I'll give her the office." I smiled coldly, not wanting to argue with them in the office.

If they weren't embarrassed, I certainly was. Besides, my mom always taught me never to turn myself into a shrew, no matter what happens.

A woman should be gentle when needed and ruthless when necessary!

Since they were treating Evelyn like a goddess, then I'd tear down their temple when the time came!

"Miss Philips, didn't you say to book three tickets before? Why do you only need one now?" Just then, my phone rang. It was my assistant calling to confirm the tickets to the Maldives were booked.

After handling the company's listing matters, I originally planned to take Neil and Patrick on a vacation to the Maldives. But now, they don't deserve it!

"Yes, just follow my instructions and book it," I replied. In front of Neil and Patrick, I didn't explain anything.

As soon as I hung up, though, Neil chuckled, "Are you making a restaurant reservation? I knew you wouldn't be so clueless, you must be planning a celebration dinner for Evelyn, right? After all, Evelyn helped the company go public. You'll earn quite a bit in the future too."

"To get that money, you'd better behave in front of Evelyn from now on and don't make her unhappy!" Patrick looked at me coldly. "Cancel whatever restaurant you booked. With your taste, what decent place could you choose? Neil and I have already reserved the best revolving restaurant. But you'd better not come tonight, don't embarrass us!"

When I first met these two brothers, they were just kids from an ordinary working-class family, not well-off. So, to fit in with them better, I hid my identity as a rich family's daughter.

Over the years, I never showed even a hint of a spoiled princess attitude. I ate street food with them and wore clothes that cost only a few dozen dollars.

I thought this would make them feel at ease around me, without any psychological burden. But now, they had money and actually thought I was low-class, an embarrassment to them!

I couldn't help but laugh coldly and nodded indifferently. My fondness for them grew colder yet again.

"Alright, clear out the office this afternoon, don't drag it out!" After saying this, Neil and Patrick went to their meeting.

But Evelyn didn't leave. She waited until they were gone, then walked up to me with an air of superiority on her face.

"I heard you're their childhood friend, right? But in front of me, you're nothing," she said.

Seeing her smug expression, I wanted to slap her right then and there. But I clenched my teeth and held back.

Because I wanted this show to be even more dramatic. Since my mom hadn't hit her hard enough last time to teach her a lesson, I'd make sure she learned it well this time!

However, seeing that I didn't respond, she became even more excited and asked, "What's wrong, you don't believe me? Do you think those two childhood friends of yours still have feelings for you?"

"Fine, in the coming days, I'll make you feel what it's like to be heartlessly abandoned by the people you care about most." Leaving these words behind, she laughed smugly and walked away.

In the evening, just as I was preparing to go home, Patrick suddenly called me.
