Rosa paused, but Gloria's face remained a mask of indifference, leaving Rosa unsure of her thoughts.
An unsettling sensation crept over Rosa, making her feel as though her innermost thoughts were laid bare before Gloria.
However, that feeling of anxiety didn't last long. Rosa soon reassured herself that even if her thoughts were apparent, it didn't matter. She was merely protecting her interests.
"I've looked into this online, and I was shocked to find how similar they look. But that doesn't mean Ned and Joe have any connection. I would like to ask you to talk to Ms. Sullivan. She has been pursuing my fiancé multiple times, and it's becoming quite distressing for me. Her actions infringe upon my rights.
"Ned and I are about to get married, and I really don't want Ms. Sullivan to interfere anymore. I understand your feelings about Joe's passing. It's indeed tragic. But just because two people look alike doesn't mean they are the same."
After speaking, Rosa studied Gloria, but the older woman remained stone-faced, revealing nothing. There was no sign of emotion, no clue as to what she was thinking.
It was similar to how Joe presented himself—enigmatic and unreadable. Just being silent gave him an air of mystery, as if he could see right through Rosa's thoughts and feelings.
In this tense atmosphere, Rosa felt as though she was merely talking to herself. She tried to restrain her urge to speak further but couldn't hold back.
"Please, Mrs. Martin Senior, consider how difficult this is for me. I need your help. I don't want Skylar to continue pursuing my fiancé.
"If this persists, I may have no choice but to report her for harassment. That would only make things worse for everyone, and I would hate for that to reflect poorly on you."
Having spoken so clearly, Rosa was sure Gloria understood her intentions. Yet, the silence that followed made her heart race.
It felt as if her thoughts were completely laid bare before Gloria.
