Setting his laptop aside, Brian rose from the sofa and purposefully advanced toward her.

“Usually, you're free to go home, but not today. You and Karina sharing a room is fine by me, but I draw the line at Hutton," he explained, his eyes conveying a profound intensity.

Rosalynn rolled her eyes.

“Brian, why do you have to be so controlling?"

"You'll just have to get used to it."

She refused to accept it!

Just then, her phone chimed, signaling an incoming call.

Glancing at the screen, Rosalynn noticed it was Hutton calling.

Before she could answer, Brian encircled her waist with his arms and put the phone on speaker.

“Rosalynn, are you up? I'm feeling hungry." Hutton's voice lazily echoed through the phone.

Snickering, Brian leaned in and planted a kiss on her earlobe.

Rosalynn let out a groan of frustration, her gaze piercing as she Locked eyes with Brian.

“Tell him you're having breakfast here. If he's hungry, he can come over."

Despite her reluctance, Brian's touch on her waist weakened her resolve, causing her legs to quiver.

With a firm pinch, she took a deep breath and tried to maintain a composed tone.

“Hutton, I'LL be having breakfast in the opposite apartment. Come over after you've freshened up.”

“Okay.”

Once the call ended, Rosalynn disentangled herself from Brian's grasp and made a beeline for the bathroom,

Was she mad again?

Brian maintained a smile as he delved into the documents on the couch.

After freshening up and changing her attire, Rosalynn caught the sound of the doorbell.

She hurried to answer it, a bright smile gracing her face upon seeing Hutton's presence.
