Rosalynn's eyes glimmered with curiosity. "Did you catch wind of the news?"

Had she been keeping tabs on Sanford's affairs all along?

"No, Karl filled me in," Maggie responded, shaking her head.

Since relocating overseas, she made a conscious effort to steer clear of domestic news, aiming to distance herself from Sanford, save for maintaining contact with her younger brother.

She feared losing control over her emotions and succumbing to the urge to return secretly.

“So, are you planning to forge your career abroad?" Karina inquired.

"I might stay in Skrix for a long time," Maggie confided.

Rosalynn and Karina exchanged looks, eager to hear more.

"Kaliyah is opening a branch here and wants me as the head designer. If the business does well, she might make me a shareholder," Maggie continued.

“That's great. I'll be here for the whole year too. Looks like we'll be seeing a lot more of each other," Rosalynn chirped, pleased by the news.

Finally loosening up, Maggie quipped, "I heard you've reunited with your family. I'm really happy for you, Rosalynn."

Maggie had always admired Rosalynn and believed she deserved nothing but a good life and everlasting happiness.

Their catch-up session went on for hours, with Maggie spilling the tea on why she left and Rosalynn sharing the drama that unfolded on Sanford's engagement day.

As Maggie listened to Rosalynn's story, she unconsciously fiddled with her fingers.

ALL Sanford did was to stand up for her, but it had left a bittersweet taste, hadn't it. It seemed they were two parallel Lines, destined to never come together.

Just then, Rosalynn's phone rang with a call from Brian.

"Hello?" Rosalynn casually greeted as she answered the call.

"Is your meeting for the wedding dress done?" Brian asked warmly.

His inquiry brought a smile to Rosalynn's face. "Yup."

“Did Kaliyah and her assistant leave already?" Brian asked.
