Yet here he was, their dignified CEO, taking the initiative to carry a mere designer's bag for her. Exactly what was their relationship?

Rumors were circulating that Brian was dating the actress, Eleanor, and that she was carrying his child.

Were those rumors false, after all?

As for Rosalynn, she was so embarrassed that she just stiffened where she stood, unsure of what to do next.

She wasn't expecting Brian to do that, especially when they were out in public.

Had he done it on purpose? To cause these people to speculate about their relationship?

“Please carry on with your work, Rosalynn.”

Brian looked and spoke like he usually would to a common subordinate.

Rosalynn cleared her throat awkwardly.

“Of course, Mr. Hughes. Thank you for carrying my bag for me."

She took a deep breath and mustered the most decent-looking fake smile.

Brian squeezed the bag between his fingers, a faint smile dancing on his lips. It still had a bit of Rosalynn's warmth.

His musings were interrupted by a call from Edwin, however.

Brian walked over to a quiet corner and answered his phone. Edwin reminded him that it was almost time for him to meet with a client.

Brian acknowledged it with a tentative hum before hanging up.

He Looked back at the slender figure that was speaking attentively with the foreman. His gaze turned soft, and his smile deepened.

Rosalynn, on the other hand, ignored him for the rest of the inspection. She focused solely on her work, and did so with a serious attitude.

She made sure to point out the flaws she discovered, but also took the time to commend the construction team for their attention to details.

The foreman was respectful all throughout, likely afraid of the repercussions should she be offended.

“Well, that is all. Once you finish the touch-ups, this apartment would finally be ready for the resident to check," Rosalynn told the foreman.

“ALL right, noted," the foreman instantly replied.

“I'LL be taking my leave, then."
