Flipping her hair, Selina said, âActually, I had asked Brian to meet Mr.
Holmes with me yesterday.
Mr.
Holmes, knowing of my close relationship with Brian, specifically asked me to mediate and arranged this dinner to discuss business matters with Brian.

Her eyes held a provocative glint.
She deliberately emphasized the phrase âclose relationship.

âI hope my presence wonât disrupt anything,â Rosalynn responded, maintaining her smile.
Her calm demeanor was a clear sign of her maturity and grace as Brianâs wife.

âEveryone, please take a seat,â Carlton announced, guiding Brian to a central seat at the table.
âLadies first,â a gentleman suggested, gesturing for Selina to sit first.
Selina, with a gentle smile, automatically moved to occupy the seat next to Brian.
Brian glanced at Rosalynn and said, âRosalynn, sit next to me.

ALL eyes turned to Rosalynn.
Observing Selinaâs hesitation, Rosalynn refused his offer with a smile.

Rosalynn moved to sit beside him, smiling.
As she passed Selina, she could sense the other womanâs frustration without even needing to look at her.
Selina managed to maintain a facade of calm despite her evident distress, finally taking the seat next to Rosalynn with a forced smile.
Once seated, Rosalynn felt a bit thirsty, so she poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.
Suddenly, a large hand Landed on her thigh.
Caught off guard, Rosalynnâs hand jerked, causing some of the water in the glass to splash out.
