“Wow, you’re so insincere.” Barlow’s focus was more on his phone than the woman beside him.
Rosalynn watched him for a moment, then couldn’t help but prod, “Did you really come here just to chit-
chat?”
Raising his eyebrow, Barlow answered, “You’re sharp. I wanted to ask you if Karina has been in touch.
She’s been pretty active lately; she’s practically a trending topic every day!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis tone carried its usual cynicism, yet Rosalynn picked up a note of irritation.
Perhaps he was bothered by the rumors swirling around Karina and a certain young man.
She couldn’t resist a playful smile. “Barlow, are you getting green-eyed over the rumors about Karina
and that handsome lad?”
Barlow’s only reaction was a derisive snort, his attention still riveted on his phone. “You can believe this
or not, but I could boot that pretty boy out of showbiz in a heartbeat.”
Playing along, Rosalynn retorted, “Well, talk is cheap. Let’s see some action.”
Barlow shifted his gaze to her, his voice dropping to a near whisper.
“Do you believe I can?”
The corners of Rosalynn’s smile dipped.
She was aware that should he follow through, the reality might surface.
They could uncover his hidden affection for Karina.
“You’re quite the character, Barlow. You’re so committed to hiding your feelings; you’d rather put Karina
at risk than reveal them,” she said, her tone laced with irony.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBarlow, responding with a cynical smile, leaned back against his seat.
“Save the sarcasm. Did you ever ask Karina about the rumors?”
Rosalynn acknowledged with a nod. “Yes, and she blamed the rival company for spreading the gossip
since she managed to snatch quite a few opportunities from them.”
“I’m aware of that.” Barlow nodded. “What I really want to know is how she feels about that young man.
He seems to have more than a passing interest in her.”
Caught by surprise, Rosalynn studied him for a moment before saying, “Didn’t Karina assure you she
wouldn’t fall for anyone within the next three years?”
Relief washed over Barlow’s face at her words.
“She’s a woman of her word.”
Witnessing his evident relief, Rosalynn felt a pang of sympathy.
