Rosalynn eyed the man.
He was a handsome fellow, vaguely familiar, but she couldnât quite place him.
âWho are you?â
âIâm Norwood Olson.
A friend of Brian and Sanford.
Weâve met before,â
Norwood said with a friendly smile.
Her memory jogged, Rosalynn recalled him from Royarid Club, where Sanford had roped her into a game of billiards.
Norwood had been there, too.
âHello,â Rosalynn greeted him with a polite smile.
âIs this gentleman your boyfriend?â Norwood asked, nodding at Barlow.
Before Rosalynn could deny it, Barlow stepped in.
âBrian is well aware of my relationship with Rosalynn.
Now, if youâll excuse us.
â
Rosalynn stared at Barlow, taken aback.
What did he mean by saying Brian knew about their relationship?
His words hinted at some hidden secret.
âWhy are you staring, Rosalynn? Did I say something misleading?â Barlow asked, feigning innocence.
Rosalynn only scoffed in response.
His words, though vague, had the potential to stir a whirlwind of speculation.
Glancing back at Norwood, she noticed him engrossed in his phone.
She wondered if he was informing Brian about his encounter with her and Barlow.
âYou look worried.
Afraid Norwood will spill the beans to Brian?â

Barlow prodded, a smirk tugging at his lips.
Rosalynnâs eyes betrayed a flicker of unease.
She countered, âWhat makes you think Iâm worried?â
âPure observation,â Barlow replied, grinning as he moved closer to her.
âIs it true youâve been trafficked?â
Rosalynnâs face hardened, her hands clenching reflexively.
