“Wow, Brian, she's got an amazing figure!" Sanford approached Brian and complimented.

Brian shot him an icy glare.

Sanford chuckled and drew closer. "Don't give me that look. | promised | wouldn't steal the woman you're interested in. But she's gorgeous, and a lot of men are drawn to her. So, if you like her..."

Brian frowned and looked around, finding that several men were staring at Rosalynn.

He could see the desire in their eyes.

For a moment, his frown deepened even more.

"Great!"

Cheers rang out once more as Rosalynn pocketed the final ball.

She stood up straight with a beaming smile on her lovely face.

“Wow, Rosalynn, you're so gifted! How about a friendly match?”

Sanford clapped his hands and approached her.

Rosalynn glanced at him and asked, "What kind of match?"

"In teams of two.”

Pointing at Brian, Sanford grabbed a woman's hand. “You'll team up with Brian, and I'll partner with her. What do you think?”

"I'm not very skilled at pool," Rosalynn admitted hesitantly.

She was a beginner. Though she had successfully pocketed some balls by chance, she'd likely drag Brian in a real competition.

"You need to trust Brian.”

Sanford grabbed the pool cue from the woman and winked at Brian. “What do you say, Brian?"

Expressionless, Brian took the cue from Rosalynn and chalked it. "Alright."

Since he agreed, Rosalyn couldn't back out now.

Sanford grinned and proposed, "Since it's a contest, there are bound to be winners and losers. The losing team must fulfill a request from the winners. What do you think?"

The suggestion seemed reasonable.

Rosalynn took a deep breath, silently hoping she wouldn't hold Brian back.

Spectators gathered to watch the match, with some placing bets.

Despite being teamed with the skilled Brian, Rosalynn's inexperience led to their loss in the first round.
