Chapter: 1210I've been taking Jack to a lot of social events, and we’ve managed to snatch quite a few deals from them.”
Hearing this, Rosalynn chuckled and said, “But you two do appear to be quite cozy. The young man is rather handsome, too. Heseems quite taken with you. Do you think you might develop feelings for him over time?”
Karina let out a dismissive laugh. “That’s never happening. I’ve sworn off dating for the next three years.”Rosalynn’s curious eyes sparkled. “Why three years?”novelbin
“It's because...” Karina paused. “No real reason. Men are trouble, you know. Isn’t it better if | focus on my career?”But something wasn’t right. Her friend was clearly hiding something.
Rosalynn could sense it.
She asked tentatively, “Did Barlow ask you not to date anybody in three years?”
Karina remained silent before pretending to brush it off nonchalantly.
“| owed him a favor before. That was his only condition. | could say no, of course, but | don’t see why | should. Focusing on mycareer aligns with my goals anyway. Three years from now, when I’m successful, men will be lining up for me.”
Hearing her friend’s cheerful voice, Rosalynn considered telling her the truth that Barlow had his own difficulties and had feelingsfor her.
But in the end, Rosalynn held her tongue.
“We should catch up over dinner when you find some free time.”
“I'm swamped right now and might not be able to make it.”
“Even so, don’t overwork yourself. Make sure you’re getting enough rest.”“| know. Love you,” Karina said and hung up the phone quickly.
Staring at the blank screen, a smile graced Rosalynn’s face.
Patience would serve them well. Since Barlow had set a timeline for Karina, he might have a plan up his sleeve.They could discuss it once he wrapped up his task.
By evening, Brian returned.
Together, they ascended to Sanford’s residence.
The four sat in the dining room, and Sanford took out a bottle of red wine.
