She already knew all too well what he was Like when alcohol consumed him entirely.

Brian's eyes shimmered, as if veiled by a thin mist.

“Are you still angry?"

His voice held an undeniable tenderness, as though coaxing a deeply cherished woman.

Rosalynn pressed her Lips together tightly, withholding her response.

Brian leaned in once more, claiming her with a dominant kiss.

“If you're still unable to calm down, I'll keep kissing you until you do."

The intensity of the kiss left Rosalynn breathless.

“Brian, I've never encountered anyone as assertive as you.”

“Alright then, you'll have to get accustomed to it," he retorted.

No!

She didn't want a controlling CEO!

Just then, her phone began to ring, interrupting the moment.

Rosalynn pushed Brian away and retrieved her phone from her bag.

It was Karina calling.

"Karina?"

“Rosalynn, where are you? Why haven't you returned yet?"

Rosalynn stole a glance at Brian, a flicker of amusement dancing in her eyes.

"I'LL be back shortly.”

Tonight, Brian would not be able to sleep in her place.

After ending the call, Rosalynn quickly fixed her tousled hair.
