Rosalynn paused.
âHeâs not back yet, huh?â
âYup.
Neither of you showed up this morning.
â
Brian didnât come home all night either? Guess he was still grinding at work, Rosalynn mulled over this.
They chatted a bit more and then Gail reminded her.
âTake it easy, okay? Donât push yourself too hard.
â
âYeah, I got it.
â
Rosalynn ended the call, her lips tightening.
Her thoughts drifted to Brian, wondering why he didnât back home all night.
After a momentâs pondering, she decided to check on him and tell him she was in Wragos.
The call connected but before she could speak, a sweet voice answered.
âHey there?â
Rosalynn hesitated, eyeing the phone number suspiciously.
Confirming she dialed right, her expression hardened.
âThis is Rosalynn.
Get Brian on the line.
â
âHeâs in the bathroom.
Iâll tell him you called when he gets back.
â
The womanâs voice stayed syrupy.
Rosalynn asked icily, âAnd who are you?â
âIâm his employee,â the woman said.
Just an office worker? What kind of employee had his direct Line?
Rosalynn didnât say anything more, hanging up with a grimace.
Valeriaâs words played in her head: Men could be easily tempted.
Could Brian really be cheating while sheâs carrying their child?
âHey Rosalynn, whatâs up?â
Lyndon trailed after her, clocking her odd look, and inquired.
Rosalynn snapped back, grinning.
âALL good, Iâm fine.
â
Lyndon eyed her skeptically.
âSeriously?â
