His commanding presence left them speechless.
Brian glanced at them and asked in a frigid tone, âSo you claim she stole your ring?â
The three exchanged glances, and Adalyn spoke up, her tone laced with skepticism.
âThatâs right.
Is she a designer from your company? She seized the business opportunity to steal a diamond ring worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from me.
â
Brian fixed his gaze on her and let out a derisive sneer.
âYou think my woman would steal your diamond ring?â
His woman?
The entire room fell into stunned silence, their collective attention shifting to Rosalynn.
Rosalynn cleared her throat and said, âI am a designer working in his company.
â
A subtle abbreviation of his woman.
Brian cast a glance her way, raising an eyebrow.
âIndeed, she is an employee whom I hold in high regard.
Following a successful collaboration, I presented her with jewelry worth millions of dollars.
Do you truly believe she would be enticed by a mere diamond ring valued at a few hundred dollars?â
His tone dripped with doubt and disdain.
Adalyn, her anxiety mounting, found the courage to press on.
âYou have no idea how scheming this woman can be.
She had a camera with her during our business discussion.
They say thieves donât think normally.
I bet sheâs not right in the head.
Allowing someone with such issues to remain employed could tarnish your companyâs reputation.
You surely wouldnât want that, would you?â
Upon hearing Adalynâs accusations, Brian turned to look at Rosalynn.
âDid you carry a camera with you during your business discussion?â

Rosalynn nodded in affirmation.
âYes, I purchased a mini camera earlier.
â
She had a lot of things.
Brian was visibly pleased by her response.
He affectionately ruffled her hair and said, âYouâre quite the smart one.
â
Rosalynn was speechless.
Could he act properly in front of others?
Witnessing the familiarity between Brian and Rosalynn, the others were taken by surprise.
