âNo, Iâll drive Karina to the office first, then head to the studio,â
Rosalynn swiftly interjected.
Brian frowned at the exchange, causing Karina to suppress a smile.
âNo need, I can just hail a cab.
â
Seeing such an imposing man ardently pursuing his ex-wife brought Karina genuine joy.
Ignoring Brian, the three women strode towards the elevator.
Dressed in beautiful, eye-catching attire, they looked especially enchanting.
Disgruntled at being overlooked, Brianâs expression soured.
Rosalynn didnât want to accept his ride, nor make their relationship known.
To her, her best friends remained her priority.
Why did he feel a pang of loss?
After bidding farewell to Rosalynn and Maggie, Karina proceeded to the roadside to catch a cab.
Just as she was about to flag down a taxi, a car abruptly pulled up in front of her.
The window rolled down to reveal Barlow.
âGood morning, Chameleon.
Where are you headed?â
He greeted her using their shared pet name.
Reminded of the previous nightâs events, a pang of guilt struck Karina.
âGood morning.
Iâm off to the office.
See you.

âGet in,â Barlow commanded, his gaze steady.
âNo, thank you.
Thereâs a taxi right there,â Karina pointed out, attempting to keep her tone Light.
âEnough with the nonsense.
Get in; we have business to discuss,â Barlow insisted.
Faced with the mention of business, Karina didnât dare refuse.
She walked over to the passenger side, opened the door, and slid into the seat.
âWhatâs up?â she asked.
