Perhaps he was reminded of his childhood sweetheart.

Rosalynn's heart softened as she looked at him.

Was that the twist in the story?

Was Malcolm simply directing his love for his childhood sweetheart unto Eleanor?

But Eleanor was a scheming bitch. How could he have not seen that?

Were all men attracted to deceitful women?

Just like Virgil, who had fallen for Annalise.

“Malcolm, apologize again and ask Miss Fuller for forgiveness."

Seeing Rosalynn's slight reaction, Johan kicked Malcolm once more.

Malcolm remained on the floor, eyes lowered, and apologized again.

"I'm sorry. It's entirely my fault. Please forgive me.”

Rosalynn looked at his teary eyes and fell silent for a moment.

“I accept your apology, but the decision that you are no Longer welcome in the business industry is not mine to make. I cannot help you.”

She wasn't sure if Brian was taking his frustration out on Malcolm because of Eleanor.

She couldn't decide on behalf of him.

Brian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you forgiven him?"

"I don't wish to go too far," Rosalynn replied.

Brian smiled and said, “Alright, then. I'll forgive him too."

His voice was gentle and affectionate.

Rosalynn's heart started to race.

He would be contradicting himself, wouldn't he?

“Thank you, Mr. Hughes. Thank you, Miss Fuller," Johan said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he glanced at Rosalynn.
