“ALL right, I'11 get back to work now. Thank you for taking the time to visit me."

Eleanor stifled the rage and resentment she felt. It took a lot of effort, but she still managed to appear gracious in front of Brian.

Brian watched Eleanor's figure walk away from the car, his fingers drumming distractedly on his thigh.

Now that he had cleared things up on this side, should he go and explain the matter to Rosalynn?

She could be acting cold toward him out of jealousy.

Just then, his phone rang, breaking through his reverie. sanford, what's up?"

“I just finished moving to my new place. Do you want to come over?"

Sanford asked.

Brian raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry, what? You bought another house?"

“It's not that." Sanford sighed wearily.

"My mother has been hounding me to get married, so I moved out to escape all her nagging.”

“I see. Where is your new place located?"

“Beauty Apartments."

Brian paused, and his heart skipped a beat.

Beauty Apartments!

Excellent!

After work, Rosalynn and Maggie ventured to the market to buy fresh vegetables for a homemade feast.

Maggie had taken a break from her part-time job at the tavern.

She no longer needed the extra income to support her boyfriend's business.

Together, they selected an array of vegetables and returned to Rosalynn's cozy apartment.

Rosalynn dialed Karina, inviting her to join their impromptu dinner party.
