Everyone in the room greeted him.
His sharp eyes surveyed the surroundings, absorbing every detail before briefly pausing on Millieâs face.
Then, he looked away and sat next to Sanford.
Sanford poured Brian a drink and chuckled.
âAre you free today? Did you come here to drink with me because you know Iâm in a foul mood? You truly are a good friend.
â
Brian remained silent, accepting the wine glass and taking a sip.
Norwood, who accompanied him, Laughed and answered, âSanford, donât flatter yourself.
Brian is in a bad mood because Rosalynn is taking care of Barlow in the hospital.

Sanford froze, his wine glass suspended mid-air.
âWhat happened to Barlow? Why did Rosalynn take care of him?â
Brianâs handsome face turned somber.
His eyes locked on the glass before him as his silence spoke volumes.
Sanford, knowing Brian all too well, sensed his friendâs agitation.
If circumstances were different, he would have offered words of comfort.
âSeems like we both have our fair share of troublesome women,â he mused, infusing his voice with understanding.
Hearing this, Brian Looked at him.
âwhy is Millie here? Have you made up with her?â
Sanford clinked his glass with Norwoodâs, a casual smirk playing on his lips.
âWell, my parents are pushing for a wedding.
If all goes according to plan, Iâll be marrying her.
After all, in the dark, all women look the same.
â
He did not want to waste time on this kind of thing.
Brian narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing as he scrutinized Sanford.
âWhat happened between you and Maggie? Did she date two men simultaneously?â
Sanford took a sip of his wine, his focus fixed on the translucent Liquid within the glass.
âShe got involved with another man while I was away on a business trip.
I even begin to doubt if Iâve lost my charm.
â
Brianâs expression turned pensive as he pondered the situation.
âMaggie doesnât strike me as the type to engage in casual flings.
Could there be a misunderstanding?â
Sanfordâs face contorted into a sneer, unable to conceal his disdain at Brianâs insinuation.
âMaggie went as far as secretly investigating my whereabouts.
Probably to ensure I wouldnât stumble upon the fact that she had been cozying up to another man.
â
He took a deliberate sip of his wine, a mixture of ridicule and anger flashing in his eyes.
