Chapter 496


    “How much do they cost?” Maggie queried.


    “One hundred twenty-eight thousand.”


    The price tag sent a small jolt through Maggie. It was within her budget if she added her savings to


    Sanford’s gift, but it would leave her nearly broke.


    “Maggie, if you’re short, I can Lend you some. Pay me back whenever you can.”


    When Rosalynn saw Maggie hesitating, she quickly transferred fifty thousand into Maggie’s ount.


    A smile of gratitude spread across Maggie’s face. “Thank you, Rosalynn. I’ll repay you as soon as I’m


    able.“


    “No rush. I*m not strapped for cash,” Rosalynn assured her, her gaze lingering on a tie clip.


    Knowing it was Sanford’s birthday, it would be inconsiderate not to give him anything. She decided to


    get the tie clip for him.


    With their purchases in tow, they made their way back home.


    Just as they were settling in, Rosalynn’s phone rang. It was Brian.


    “Today’s Sanford’s birthday. We’re celebrating at Royarid Club tonight.


    I’LLe by and pick you up,” he informed her.


    Brian exuded a certain gentleness, an indication of his good spirits.


    “No, thanks. I’LL be going with Maggie,” Rosalynn responded.


    “Is your refusal to let me pick you up due to a desire to keep our rtionship under wraps?” Brian


    queried.


    Rosalynn retorted, “Didn’t we agree on this?”


    “Rosalynn, do you genuinely believe they are all oblivious?” Brian challenged.

    “I couldn’t care less. I expect you to maintain a distance from me tonight.”


    She was convinced that as long as he didn’t stir the pot, no one would suspect anything.


    With a chuckle, Brian relented, “Alright, as you wish. I suspect there might be some drinking tonight.


    You may want to hail a cab.”


    “Fine.”


    As she ended the call, Rosalynn noticed Maggie’s questioning gaze.
