Meanwhile, Rosalynn pulled Karina out of Barlowâs arms.
âThank you, Barlow.
Iâll take Karina home.
â
Observing Karinaâs stumbling figure, Barlow asked, âCan you take her back alone? Do you need my help?â
Rosalynn supported Karina, squinting slightly.
âAre you planning to pursue Karina?â
A playful glint sparked in Barlowâs eyes, and his eyebrows shot up, followed by a grin of sheer amusement spreading across his face.
âHow could that be? If anyoneâs worth pursuing, itâs you.
Iâm only lending a hand to her for your sake.
â
Rosalynn rolled her eyes.
âYou always have a way to keep me on edge around you, donât you?â
Rosalynn didnât know what he was planning.
âWhy? Did I sweep you off your feet when I helped Karina just now?â
Barlow teased, opening the car door for her.
Ignoring his remark, Rosalynn sat in the driverâs seat.
Soon, the car roared to life, leaving behind a trail of dust.
After the car departed, the smile on Barlowâs face slowly faded.
He raised his hand to wipe a shimmer of sweat from his face, fanning himself as he muttered, âWhy is it so hot today?â
Rosalynn drove Karina home.
Karina was already in a drunken stupor.
âKarina, wake up.
We have to get out of the car now,â Rosalynn called out, leaning over to unfasten the seat belt.

Karina opened her eyes slightly, her eyes blurred.
Rosalynn, letâs drink more!â
âAlright, alright.
Weâll continue drinking when we get inside.
â
Rosalynn helped Karina get out of the car and went to the elevator.
Once inside the house, Rosalynn settled Karina into the guest room.
She fetched a basin of warm water and began to wipe Karinaâs face and body.
Lastly, she helped her change into clean pajamas.
By the time she finished, Rosalynn was sweating all over.
