"What's bothering you?"

Why would she say that she didn't Like the jewelry?

She seemed elated when she first received the jewelry.

What could've transpired since then?

“Nothing,” Rosalynn replied curtly.

Pondering for a moment, Brian asked, “Is it possible that you're ina foul mood due to your menstrual cycle?”

Rosalynn was dumbfounded.

He certainly had a knack for understanding women!

“Our relationship is strictly professional. It's inappropriate for you to ask such a personal question."

Was it truly inappropriate, or did she simply not wish to speak with him?

Brian narrowed his eyes. As the elevator came to a halt, Rosalynn made a hasty exit. He was left in the dark, wondering what had befallen her.

Women could be so mercurial at times.

Indeed, women were complicated creatures.

Rosalynn returned to her work station, her expression stormy yet composed.

Maggie leaned in and whispered, “Rosalynn, did you see the news? What do you think Mr. Hughes was up to? Why would he buy identical jewelry for both you and Eleanor?”

Rosalynn picked up documents from the table and muttered, “Perhaps we made equal contributions, so he bought the same jewelry for both of us."

That was the only explanation she could think of.

It was merely a corporate reward.

She had been conceited in the past, thinking he had treated her differently.

"Oh, but his actions were quite baffling," Maggie said.

Just because they shared equal contributions, did he have to gift them the same jewelry?

Rumors said that he fancied Eleanor.
