Rose's eyes widened in utter disbelief as she gazed at Rosalynn, "Can I... really do that?"
"Why so shocked?" Rosalynn asked, a playful smile dancing on her lips. "Wayne and I don't have many relatives left, and this big old estate of Moonlit Lake would feel so empty with just the four of us and a handful of staff, don't you think?"
"I only have Penn by my side." Rose's eyes wandered to Ivy and Cory, who were tossing a frisbee with a golden retriever, "I envy you for having so many loved ones around. It's clear to me, everyone here adores you."
"It's a two-way street, you know. They love me because I treat them well," Rosalynn said casually. "Take your time. The folks at the company might not be too fond of your past actions, but once they see you're making an effort to improve, they'll come around soon enough."
Rose looked at Rosalynn with newfound respect.
"Alright, I'm still wearing the badge of your secretary, and I won't let you down!"d2
"That's what I like to hear," Rosalynn said with a twinkle in her eye.
Deep down, Rose understood why Wayne was so captivated by Rosalynn.
She was a vision, indeed, with an almost invisible aura that seemed to soothe the soul. The more Rose talked with her, the more refreshed she felt.
At that moment, Max suddenly charged towards Rosalynn, playfully grabbed her sleeve with its mouth, and tugged her toward Ivy and Cory.
"Go join them. I'll just enjoy the fresh air here," Rose said quickly. She then watched in silence as Rosalynn mingled with the pets and children, all of them in a happy uproar.
Even the cat perched on Calvin's head came over to her willingly, rolling over to expose its fluffy belly for a scratch.
The dog, usually boisterous, turned gentle by Rosalynn's side.
Rose watched, spellbound. If only she truly belonged here. But the thought startled her, and she quickly pushed it away.
"Ms. Albinia, what has captured your attention so?" Jacob's voice came from behind her.
Rose turned to him, "President Strand."
