The manâs gentle, teasing voice sent shivers down her spine.
His doting tone ensnared her.
Rosalynn felt her ears hot.
Her painstakingly constructed psychological defenses crumbled once more.
Feigning calm, she asked, âDidnât you give each of us a set of jewelry as a reward for securing the project in Neham?â
Brianâs slender fingers traced her chin.
He chuckled.
âThat set of jewelry is a limited edition.
The company produced only one.
How could I possibly give you both the same set?â
It made sense!
In her fury, she had overlooked the details.
Rosalynnâs eyes sparkled, and she noticed the man had edged closer.
âEleanor fabricated the entire scenario.
Seeing the online comments, she visited the jeweler to commission a counterfeit set of jewelry for attention,â Brian explained, caressing her chin with his slender fingers, his gaze intense.
Suppressing her roiling emotions, Rosalynn withdrew his hand and asked, âEleanor helped you as well.
Did you not reward her?â

âI never sought her assistance.

She didnât believe him.
Recalling the events at the Technology Center, Rosalynn asked, âWas it Eleanorâs pleading that convinced you to allow the construction team to resume work?â
Brian raised an eyebrow.
âShe did approach me and said something, but my decision to restart construction wasnât for her sake-it was for you.

Could it truly be because of her?
Rosalynnâs heart raced, emotions tangled.
The roomâs bright Light was dazzling.
Its brightness serving to enhance his handsome features.
Brian embraced her tightly.
âRosalynn, have these two incidents upset you?â
