Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 673:

Toward the end, she carefully selected nine photos. She posted them on her Instagram with the caption, “Living in the moment.”

At the time her post went up, Ronald was in the middle of reporting some work matters to Brian.

The notification grabbed his attention, and when Rachel’s profile picture popped up on his screen, he didn’t hesitate to click on it.

He was redirected to her post. In the photos, both Rachel and Jeffrey were smiling brightly, looking like they didn’t have a care in the world.

Ronald fell into a daze until Brian called out sharply to him. “Ronald?”

Ronald jerked his head up. “Yes, sir!”

“We’re at work,” Brian reminded him in a stern tone while tapping his finger against his desk.

It took another half hour for Ronald to wrap up his report and answer all of Brian’s questions.

As Brian handed over the documents he had just signed, Ronald asked tentatively, “Would you like to check your Instagram?”

He hadn’t seen Brian use his phone in a while. If his boss saw Rachel’s post, perhaps his mood would improve, even if only a little.

Then everyone at the company might finally get a break from the seemingly endless overtime hours they had been putting in.

Ronald was convinced that his suggestion would lead to great benefits that he and his colleagues would enjoy.

So, he was understandably dismayed when Brian didn’t react the way he expected.

Brian did pick up his phone and browsed through his friends’ new posts, but he put it back down in less than a minute. “I’ve checked it. Is something the matter?”

Ronald paused. How was that possible? Why was Brian so calm—almost indifferent—after seeing Rachel’s post? That was quite out of character for him.

“I’m sure you have a lot of online friends, sir. Maybe you scrolled too quickly. Why don’t you take another look?”

Brian raised an eyebrow, his gaze turning icy. “There were about ten new posts from my so-called friends, and I’m sure I’ve seen them all. You’re acting strange today, Ronald. You were distracted earlier, and now you’re making me do these senseless things.”

“I apologize, sir,” Ronald quickly said. “I’ll take my leave now.”

But he was still puzzled as he exited the office and made his way down the hallway. This was the complete opposite of what he had imagined.

Considering Brian’s concern toward Rachel, he shouldn’t have been that nonchalant.

There was only one plausible reason—Rachel had blocked Brian from seeing her online posts.

Ronald contemplated it for a moment and felt that this was the most likely reason.noveldrama
