A playful glint sparked in Barlow's eyes, and his eyebrows shot up, followed by a grin of sheer amusement spreading across his face.

“How could that be? If anyone’s worth pursuing, it's you. I'm only lending a hand to her for your sake."

Rosalynn rolled her eyes.

"You always have a way to keep me on edge around you, don't you?"

Rosalynn didn't know what he was planning.

“Why? Did I sweep you off your feet when I helped Karina just now?"

Barlow teased, opening the car door for her.

Ignoring his remark, Rosalynn sat in the driver's seat. Soon, the car roared to life, leaving behind a trail of dust.

After the car departed, the smile on Barlow's face slowly faded.

He raised his hand to wipe a shimmer of sweat from his face, fanning himself as he muttered, “Why is it so hot today?"

Rosalynn drove Karina home.

Karina was already in a drunken stupor.

“Karina, wake up. We have to get out of the car now," Rosalynn called out, leaning over to unfasten the seat belt.

Karina opened her eyes slightly, her eyes blurred.

Rosalynn, let's drink more!"

“Alright, alright. We'll continue drinking when we get inside.”

Rosalynn helped Karina get out of the car and went to the elevator.

Once inside the house, Rosalynn settled Karina into the guest room. She fetched a basin of warm water and began to wipe Karina's face and body.

Lastly, she helped her change into clean pajamas.

By the time she finished, Rosalynn was sweating all over.

Entering her room, she was about to freshen up when the door suddenly opened, revealing Brian.

His sudden appearance caught her off guard. She had almost forgotten about their relationship.
