"Rosalynn, | appreciate you looking after Brian before my arrival. He mentioned you've been a great assistant!”

The woman slightly lifted her chin, smiling, but her eyes held a challenging glint.

Her words were laced with a sense of superiority.

She was implying that she was Brian's woman. As for Rosalynn, she was merely an assistant.

Rosalynn raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, really? Did he actually say that?"

"Yes."

Eleanor flicked her hair behind her ear, tilted her chin up, and strutted toward the car with poise.

Seeing Eleanor opening the backseat door, Rosalynn pursed her lips and took her place in the passenger seat.

Once inside the car, she buckled her seat belt and remarked, "Mr. Hughes, | appreciate your kind words."

Brian, engrossed in a document, heard her comment and scoffed, "What exactly did | praise you for?"

Did he praise her for treating him as a rapist?

"Didn't you tell Eleanor | was a good assistant? She came to express her gratitude for my taking care of you before her arrival."

Eleanor was shocked.

Oh no!

How could Rosalynn bring that up so blatantly!

Naturally, Brian hadn't uttered such words. Eleanor had fabricated it.

“lL assume Mr. Hughes must feel that way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited you on this business trip, right?"

Eleanor hurried to defend herself. Her face turned pale.

Brian cast a chilly glance at her and then at Rosalynn, who pretended nothing had transpired. He said nothing and resumed reading the document.

Eleanor broke into a cold sweat, glaring daggers at the back of Rosalynn's head.

She had underestimated Rosalynn!
