The window descended to reveal a face, strikingly handsome.
Lyndon was the one who had arrived.
âRosa,â he called out to her.
Upon recognizing a familiar face, Rosalynnâs excitement grew.
âLyndon, what brings you here? Oh, this is wonderful.
Could you give me a ride?â
Lyndon responded with a smile.
He gracefully exited the vehicle, opened the passenger side door for Rosalynn, and gestured for her to climb in.
âThank you,â Rosalynn expressed her gratitude as she settled into the seat.
Meanwhile, Brian was composing himself in his Bentley a short distance away.
He suddenly remembered that Rosalynn had been left to walk back on her own.
Massaging the throbbing temple, he resolved to turn back and find her.
However, a glance in the rearview mirror revealed Rosalynn entering a manâs car.
Brianâs features tensed, his gaze sharpening.
From his perspective, he couldnât clearly identify Lyndon, nor did he recognize the car.
It certainly didnât seem like a taxi, and Lyndonâs posture and demeanor didnât suggest he was a driver.
So, into whose car had Rosalynn climbed?
With a pursing of his lips, Brian ignited the engine, made a swift U-turn, and drove in their direction.
Simultaneously, he donned his Bluetooth headset and dialed Rosalynnâs number.
Inside Lyndonâs car, Rosalynn was all smiles.
âItâs such a coincidence to run into you.
Are you just passing through?â
A hint of something flickered in Lyndonâs eyes as he replied, âI had some matters to attend to nearby.
â
Secretly, he had been informed by Gail of the events at the bid conference and, concerned for Rosalynn, had his assistant track her down and had followed her here.
Brian had claimed they werenât divorced, but Rosalynn hadnât corrected Selina when she assumed they were.
Lyndonâs intuition screamed that their marriage was troubled, and now his suspicions seemed validated.
âWhere are you going? I hope Iâm not being a bother.
Perhaps you could drop me at the nearest bus stop? I can catch a bus to the hotel from there,â Rosalynn suggested hastily, not wanting to impose on Lyndonâs time.
Lyndon offered a smile.
