He wasnât as frivolous as he seemed.
Having been deeply hurt before, he refused to let love ensnare him again.
âHave you made your intentions clear to Maggie? Sheâs inexperienced in love.
Donât let her fall for you.
â Brian offered a word of caution.
He couldnât predict the outcome if Maggie became infatuated with Sanford and unable to elicit a response from him.
He worried that, in such a situation, Rosalynn might take Maggieâs side and reprimand him once more.
âFret not,â Sanford reassured him, a grin gracing his face.
âIâll set things straight with her.
Letâs just enjoy this grown-up game.
â
Brian remained silent.
Noticing Rosalynn busily ordering food, he ended the call.
Rosalynn had just finished placing her food order when her phone sprang to life.
The screen lit up, revealing Brianâs name.
She hesitated for a beat before answering, âMr.
Hughes, whatâs up?â
âI asked Edwin to order some dishes.
Join me for lunch,â Brian offered.
Eating together could only fuel more office rumors about their relationship.
Rosalynn had no desire to invite more attention to herself.

âThank you, but Iâve already ordered my food.

Ending the call, Rosalynn shifted her focus back to the design for Valeriaâs apartment.
Although Valeria told her to not bother coming back, Rosalynn wasnât a person who would give up easily.
Rosalynn embraced the challenge of understanding and satisfying demanding clients, confident in her ability to find the perfect balance.
Deep down, she held firm in her belief that Valeria had a genuine interest in her work.
She believed Valeria would choose her design in the end.
Half an hour later, she got her take-out.
Rosalynn entered the bustling office cafeteria with her food.
The lively conversations of her coworkers created a vibrant atmosphere.
She weaved through the crowd, offering friendly greetings to familiar faces, and eventually found an inviting empty seat.
