Chapter 1972: Chapter 1975

“Apologies, I’m dining with Rosalynn.

” Maggie expressed regretfully.

“No problem.

Take your time and savor your meal.

Will you be returning to the studio afterward?” Karl asked with a chuckle.

Maggie hesitated, initially not planning to return to the studio, but feeling obliged with Karl’s presence.

“I’m nearly finished.

I’ll head back once I’m done,” Maggie replied.

“Very well, I shall await your return.

”

“See you then.

”

Following the call’s conclusion, Maggie detected a chilling shift in the atmosphere surrounding her.

She instinctively turned her gaze toward Sanford, who was diligently chewing a slice of beef.

Though the beef was tender, he gnawed at it with an intensity reminiscent of teeth grinding.

Seated opposite her, Rosalynn inquired, “Was that call from Karl, Maggie?”

“Yes, indeed.

He’s presently in Skrix, awaiting my arrival at the studio.

”

Rosalynn arched an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Sanford.

It seemed like there was a rival in love for Sanford.

Brian delicately wiped his mouth with a tissue, then cast Sanford a smug smirk.

“Honey, I recall when Maggie departed, Karl facilitated her disappearance, correct?”

“Yes.

”

“It appears Karl holds genuine concern for Maggie,” Brian teased.

Rosalynn’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she chimed in, “Indeed, after Maggie relocated overseas, he orchestrated every detail and enlisted his acquaintances to ensure her well-being.

On that note, Karl possesses both charm and skill, embodying a true gentleman.

Wouldn’t you agree, Maggie?”

Maggie summoned an awkward smile and cast a fleeting glance at Sanford.

Though she resisted, Rosalynn’s observation held truth.

But if she were to acknowledge it, it might ignite anger in Sanford.

“Karl seems quite the catch,” Brian remarked.

“Certainly,” Rosalynn concurred.

Their harmony was palpable, each exchange deepening Sanford’s solemn expression.
