Rosalynn was burning the midnight oil at the office. Just as she was about to knock off, she received a message from Brodie.
"Aunt Alyssa has returned to the company. She said she was sorry for offending you before and asked me to pass on a set of pearl jewellery from her collection to you!"
Rosalynn gave a faint smile and replied, "Tell Ms. Alyssa thanks for me."
She didn't turn it down.
This set of pearls was Alyssa's way of saying they were square. If she didn't accept it, Alyssa would feel guilty. It would also be awkward the next time they would have to work together.
Rosalynn packed up her briefcase and strode out of the office. All her other colleagues had already clocked out, leaving only Lola.
"Gabriella, are you leaving?" Lola asked, standing up.
"Yeah, why are you still here?" Rosalynn said, confidently carrying her briefcase in one hand and her other hand in her coat pocket.
Lola pointed at her computer, "Just finished some reports, I'll be heading out soon too."
Rosalynn glanced at the clock, "Let's leave together, I'll drop you off."
Lola was staying at a hotel not far from Rosalynn's place so she could be on hand in case Rosalynn needed her.
"Alright!" Lola nodded, quickly packing up her laptop.
Just as they were leaving the office, they saw a black car parked outside with a casually dressed Wayne leaning against the passenger side, engrossed in his phone.
As soon as Rosalynn stepped out, he looked up and waved.
"Looks like I missed my chance for a ride." Lola murmured.
Rosalynn handed her car keys to Lola. "Just drive it back in the morning."
