In light of this thought, he tightened his hold around Rosalynnâs slender waist.
Rosalynn remained impassive, a glass of wine in her hand.
Selina didnât miss the silent reproach in Brianâs eyes.
Yet, she continued to play the part of the genial hostess.
âBrian, Eleanor mentioned that her fame in the entertainment industry is Largely due to you.
I never thought that both of us would be able to date you.
â
Brianâs countenance darkened.
Her words made it sound as though he was a womanizer, willing to entertain a variety of women concurrently.
Meanwhile, Sanford found himself in a bit of a tight spot, struggling to come up with something to say.
Clearing his throat, he suggested, âBrian, why donât you and Rosalynn engage in a game of billiards?â
Brian, recognizing that Sanford was trying to smooth out the situation looked at Rosalynn and asked, âWould you Like to play?â
âHow so?â Rosalynn inquired.
âRosalynn, we can play like we did Last time.
You can team up with Brian, and Iâll partner withâ¦â Sanford drew Maggie to him.
âIâll be on a team with Maggie.
â
Maggie, who had been spectating from the sidelines, was suddenly pulled into Sanfordâs embrace.
She quickly protested, âBut I donât know how to play billiards.
â
âThatâs alright.
I can teach you,â Sanford assured her.
It was actually better that she didnât know how to play.

It offered him a chance to step in as her teacher, potentially elevating his image in her mind.
âMaggie, itâs not a big deal.
Iâm not proficient either.
I lost to Sanford the last time we played,â Rosalynn said, flashing a comforting smile.
âAlright, but donât blame me if you end up Losing!â After a moment of hesitation, Maggie warned Sanford.
âRest assured.
Iâm a gentleman.
Come on, let me first teach you the rules to familiarize yourself with the game.
â
Sanford guided Maggie to the billiards table and began to instruct her on the basics of the game.
Brian, with Rosalynn tucked under his arm, followed suit, leaving Selina and Eleanor on their own.
The smile on Selinaâs face slightly faded.
She caught sight of Deanna emerging from the restroom, then grasped Eleanorâs hand, leading her to Deanna.
At the billiards table, Brian slowly rubbed chalk onto his cue with his slender fingers.
