She needed to win Brianâs favor and affection, leaving her past embarrassment behind!
Brian exited the building and headed to his apartment instead of rushing back to the company.
The moment he walked in, he immediately called Rosalynn.
After a few rings, she answered.
Her soft voice greeted him.
âHello?â
âHoney, itâs me.
â
Hearing her voice brought Brian a sense of peace.
He turned on the light and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The night had fallen outside, the city glowing with countless lights.
As his gaze fell upon the scenery, his mind conjured Rosalynnâs beautiful face.
âWhere are you?â Rosalynn asked quietly.
âIâm at our apartment,â Brian answered.
Rosalynn paused.
âArenât you coming back today?â
Brian raised an eyebrow and loosened his collar.
âIâve lost my position of authority in the company, and my mother is seriously ill.
Itâs all because of you.
The love I have for you canât simply stop me from blaming you.
I need some time to think about our relationship.
â
He spoke calmly, crafting a falsehood for the public to understand his current situation, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
There was a silence before Rosalynn replied, âNo need to think about it.
I agree to the divorce.

Brian couldnât see her, but her voice sounded very steady.
Her calm made him feel uneasy.
He hastily explained, âBabe, what I said before? Yeah, total fib.
Just part of my game plan.
â
âSeriously?â
âAbsolutely!â
âI kind of figured,â she replied, a hint of amusement lacing her voice.
Relief flooded Brian as tension drained from his frame.
âBabe, you messing with me?â
âNah, just going along with the act,â Rosalynn explained.
A grin tugged at Brianâs lips as he paid her a compliment, pure flattery.
âNo wonder I chose you.
Youâre sharp as a tack.
