“Karina has feelings for Barlow? But I thought she liked Virgil?"

“Barlow and Karina met a few years ago, when he saved her life,"

Rosalynn explained.

“They've known each other for a while. Recent events have brought them in frequent contact with each other, and Karina gradually developed feelings for him.“

She wasn't lying.

Karina was indeed attracted to Barlow.

In fact, if not for Kennedi, Rosalynn was convinced that the two would have been in a relationship a long time ago.

Sadly, that was not the case.

“Karina has bad taste," Brian suddenly remarked, his lips curling into a sneer.

Rosalynn's eyes twinkled with humor. She pressed her palm against his chest and murmured, "That's right. Her taste in men isn't as excellent as mine."

Brian stared at her luscious lips.

“Are you trying to seduce me and butter me up?"

She slowly dragged her finger in slow circles over his heart.

“Is it working?"

He plucked her errant hand and held it up to his lips for a kiss.

"I'LL allow it, but that doesn't mean I'LL show mercy to Barlow."

Rosalynn blinked at him, speechless.

What a ruthlessly conniving man!

It seemed like whatever she tried, he would always see through her ploys.

Discouraged, Rosalynn pulled away with a sigh and got to her feet.

"I suppose I knew that. Go ahead and get back to work. I won't take up any more of your time."

But Brian immediately pulled her into his embrace.
