Rosalynn only offered him a glance, choosing to remain silent.

Brian leaned in to kiss her, whispering against her lips, “That is, unless you're planning on compensating me tonight."

Shoving him away Lightly, she retorted, “You can show yourself out."

His laughter filled the room as he draped his coat over his arm.

"I'll have Atera Restaurant deliver lunch here. Avoid chilled beverages.”

“Understood,” Rosalynn responded, watching him depart.

As the door shut behind him, she returned to her chair, a soft smile gracing her lips.

Just then, Maggie, busy with her design sketches, sauntered over to her.

“Rosalynn, why did Mr. Hughes summon you to his office? Was it...?7"

She mischievously mimed a kiss with her fingers, her face alight with curiosity.

A laugh escaped Rosalynn as she gave Maggie's head a friendly pat.

“Maggie, you've certainly grown bolder. It's true, isn't it? Even the most innocent girl can change once a man enters her life."

Maggie's cheeks turned a rosy pink, and she hurriedly steered the conversation in another direction.

“Mr. Hughes' sister is still with Keegan."

What? This revelation left Rosalynn momentarily surprised, a glint of astonishment in her eyes.

“Really? She's still there?"

“Yes, and there hasn't been any sound from the office," Maggie filled in.

“I should go check on them," Rosalynn decided, not wanting any misconceptions to arise between the pair. She quickly grabbed a stack of papers and made her way towards Keegan's office.

When Rosalynn arrived at the door, she gently knocked and pushed it open before Keegan had a chance to say “come in."

Inside the room, Keegan and Deanna sat closely, engaged in a discussion.

It appeared that they had a good rapport, far from the hostile dynamic Rosalynn had imagined.

She realized she had been worrying unnecessarily.
