Chapter: 280
The man’s gentle, teasing voice sent shivers down her spine.
His doting tone ensnared her.
Rosalynn felt her ears hot.
Her painstakingly constructed psychological defenses crumbled once more.
Feigning calm, she asked, “Didn’t you give each of us a set of jewelry as a reward for securing the
project in Neham?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrian’s slender fingers traced her chin.
He chuckled. “That set of jewelry is a limited edition. The company produced only one. How could I
possibly give you both the same set?”
It made sense!
In her fury, she had overlooked the details.
Rosalynn’s eyes sparkled, and she noticed the man had edged closer.
“Eleanor fabricated the entire scenario. Seeing the online comments, she visited the jeweler to
commission a counterfeit set of jewelry for attention,” Brian explained, caressing her chin with his
slender fingers, his gaze intense.
Suppressing her roiling emotions, Rosalynn withdrew his hand and asked, “Eleanor helped you as well.
Did you not reward her?”
“No,” Brian responded firmly. “I never sought her assistance. I made it clear that I desired only you.
She didn’t believe him.
Recalling the events at the Technology Center, Rosalynn asked, “Was it Eleanor’s pleading that
convinced you to allow the construction team to resume work?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrian raised an eyebrow. “She did approach me and said something, but my decision to restart
construction wasn’t for her sake-it was for you.”
Could it truly be because of her?
Rosalynn’s heart raced, emotions tangled.
The room’s bright Light was dazzling.
Its brightness serving to enhance his handsome features.
Brian embraced her tightly.
“Rosalynn, have these two incidents upset you?”
