Once they reached the parking lot, Rosalynn paid no mind to Brian and went to her car.
Maggie quickly bid farewell to Brian.
âMr.
Hughes, weâre off now.
â
Brian nodded slightly and made his way to his own car.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Maggie hopped into Rosalynnâs car.
Curiosity piqued, she couldnât help but ask, âRosalynn, did you and Mr.
Hughes have another argument?â
Rosalynn gripped the steering wheel and responded, âWhen have we ever got along?â
They were either in disagreements or heading towards one!
Meanwhile, Karina found herself biting her lip as she composed a message to Barlow.
âAre you free for lunch? Iâd like to invite you to join me.
â
After dispatching her message, Karina anxiously awaited Barlowâs response.
Shortly after, Barlow returned her call.
Taking a deep breath, Karina answered with a bright smile.
âDid you receive my message? Are you available for Lunch? My treat,â she said.
âA Lunch date? Arenât you usually accompanying your boyfriend? Wonât he get jealous seeing you with another man?â Barlow replied, his tone mockingly light.

Karina gave an awkward smile.
âI might have fibbed a bit.
Heâs not really my boyfriend.
Heâs a mutual friend of Rosalynn and me.
â
In order to garner Barlowâs favor for a request, she decided to keep her demeanor as amicable as possible.
Regardless of his comments, she resolved to avoid snapping back at him.
âReally now? So, youâve taken up the habit of flirting with your male friends in public?â Barlow sneered.
Karina managed to suppress her rising anger, responding with a strained smile, âWeâre just really close friends.
â
âSo close that you introduce him as your boyfriend?â
Again, Karina was left speechless
She was growing increasingly irritated by him.
