“Hey, sorry again for jumping to conclusions earlier. Thanks for sorting out the toilet," Karina said, her voice softer.

He took a sip, studying her delicate features.

“Let me properly introduce myself. I'm Carlow Tucker.”

Hearing his name, Karina suddenly made a connection with Barlow Tucker.

Even their names were so similar!

Her throat felt dry. After a long pause, she finally revealed her name.

"I'm Karina Glyn."

With the glass in hand, Carlow fixed his gaze on her. "I've heard about you. You're some kind of agent, right?"

How could he know that she was an agent?

Karina's eyes narrowed slightly. “How do you know that?"

Carlow met her gaze. "I keep up with entertainment news. You're the one dating that young actor, Jack Ruiz, aren't you?"

So, he'd been keeping tabs on her through the gossip columns.

Karina felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. "Me and Jack? Nah, that's just tabloid trash, trying to stir up drama."

Carlow raised an eyebrow. "But I saw you two at the hospital. Is he pursuing you?"

Karina gave him a look, sizing him up. "You sure love to gossip.”

Carlow was left speechless.

Just then, Haleigh approached, holding out a sweatshirt.

"Here. This one's brand new. Put it on."

Carlow took it with gratitude.

“Thanks a bunch."
