“If the kiss left you wanting more, you could've just told me. No need for an indirect smooch."

Brian wore a smile as he took the glass she had just used and pressed his thin lips to its rim, draining the wine from his own glass.

Rosalynn’s heart raced uncontrollably.

Her cheeks reddened.

He must be teasing her intentionally.

Anew message appeared on Brian's phone.

He pulled it out, looked at the screen, and frowned.

It was a message from Eleanor.

She informed him that she had arrived on the set.

Along with the text, she sent him a selfie.

Rosalynn brushed the hair by her ear, attempting to conceal her emotions.

Catching a glimpse of the message on his phone, she felt her heart stop beating.

She saw the photo Eleanor had sent.

In the image, Eleanor's cleavage was almost fully exposed as she struck a victorious pose for the camera.

Her smile radiated joy.

For a moment, Rosalynn was overwhelmed by disappointment.

She regained her usual coolness and said to Karina and Keegan, "It's getting late. We should head out."

She couldn't understand why she had grown close to Brian.

She was asking for trouble.

“Leaving so soon? Stay a bit longer."

Upon hearing Rosalynn’s intent to leave, Sanford tried to persuade her to stay.

“No, thank you. | have work tomorrow. Goodbye.”

Rosalynn bid the two men farewell politely before leaving with Karina.

After they left, Sanford patted Brian on the back, saying, "Brian, you ought to thank me today."

Brian tossed his phone aside, glanced at the glass in his hand, and gestured for the waiter to refill his drink.
