Brian frowned.

“Maggie is moving in with you? Sanford, do you want her as your lover?"

“Yes," Sanford confirmed without hesitation.

Brian walked to the window, opening the curtain to see Rosalynn returning.

“Remember that Maggie is not like us. Think it through,” Brian cautioned, recalling how Sanford had once fallen for a girl from a humble origin. However, she left him for money

That experience had transformed Sanford into a playboy.

Now, Maggie-an ordinary girl herself-had entered Sanford's life, and Brian worried that his friend might suffer heartbreak once more.

“Don't fret, Brian. I won't be fooled again. I've told you-I won't take things seriously from now on," Sanford declared nonchalantly.

It appeared that he didn't care. But Brian knew that Sanford was merely feigning indifference.

He wasn't as frivolous as he seemed. Having been deeply hurt before, he refused to let love ensnare him again.

“Have you made your intentions clear to Maggie? She's inexperienced in love. Don't let her fall for you." Brian offered a word of caution.

He couldn't predict the outcome if Maggie became infatuated with Sanford and unable to elicit a response from him.

He worried that, in such a situation, Rosalynn might take Maggie's side and reprimand him once more.

“Fret not," Sanford reassured him, a grin gracing his face.

"I'll set things straight with her. Let's just enjoy this grown-up game."

Brian remained silent. Noticing Rosalynn busily ordering food, he ended the call.

Rosalynn had just finished placing her food order when her phone sprang to life.

The screen lit up, revealing Brian's name.

She hesitated for a beat before answering, “Mr. Hughes, what's up?"

“I asked Edwin to order some dishes. Join me for lunch," Brian offered.

Eating together could only fuel more office rumors about their relationship.

Rosalynn had no desire to invite more attention to herself.
