She deliberately emphasized the phrase “close relationship.”
“I hope my presence won’t disrupt anything,” Rosalynn responded, maintaining her smile.
Her calm demeanor was a clear sign of her maturity and grace as Brian’s wife.
Selina’s fingers clenched, her mood plummeting.
“Everyone, please take a seat,” Carlton announced, guiding Brian to a central seat at the table.
“Ladies first,” a gentleman suggested, gesturing for Selina to sit first.
Selina, with a gentle smile, automatically moved to occupy the seat next to Brian.
Brian glanced at Rosalynn and said, “Rosalynn, sit next to me.”
ALL eyes turned to Rosalynn.
Observing Selina’s hesitation, Rosalynn refused his offer with a smile.

“Come here; it’s more convenient to discuss work,” Brian suggested, a subtle smile on his face.
Rosalynn moved to sit beside him, smiling.

Selina managed to maintain a facade of calm despite her evident distress, finally taking the seat next to

Caught off guard, Rosalynn’s hand jerked, causing some of the water in the glass to splash out.
