Brian’s gaze lingered on her chest, his eyes fixed.


    Was it his imagination, or had her breasts gotten fuller? The sight ignited a primal urge within him.


    His Adam’s apple bobbed.


    Finishing with her hair, he pulled her into a deep kiss.


    Rosalynnughed, yfully dodging him for a moment before meeting his gaze.


    “What do you think Sanford and Maggie are up to?” she asked.


    Brian’s eyes narrowed.


    “Honey, what do you think a man and woman alone together might be doing? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all.


    They must be busy now.


    ”


    Rosalynn found his predatory expression amusing.


    “Honey, need a mirror to confirm you’re looking a little neglected right now?”


    Brian chuckled, scooping her up and cing her on the bed.


    “If I am, who’s to me?”


    “Don’t act like it’s my fault,” Rosalynn countered smugly.


    “You’re the one who got me pregnant.


    ”


    Brian closed his eyes briefly, inhaling her scent near her neck.


    He followed with a gentle bite, earning a yful hum and a light p from Rosalynn.


    She said softly, “Go back to your room and sleep.


    ”


    Brian was about to respond when his phone rang.


    Edwin, the assistant, made the call.


    Brian picked up and said, “What’s up?”


    “Mr.


    Hughes, we have a problem.


    Several workers at Skyline Garment Works have assaulted the general manager and a department manager.


    ”


    Edwin exined.


    Brian frowned.


    “Why did they do that?”


    Skyline Garment Works operated under Hughes Group.


    Thepany had been integrating resources recently.


    “Just a few days ago, weid off some employees.


    Those causing trouble are likely upset about it.


    Now, reporters have shown up too.


    ”


    Reporters too? Brian narrowed his eyes.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    “Understood.


    I’m on my way.


    ”


    Rosalynn sat up, concerned.


    “What’s happening?”


    “Nothing serious.


    Just a small issue at one of the subsidiaries.


    Go back to sleep.


    I’ll be back soon.


    ” Brian kissed her forehead and spoke gently.


    “Be careful,” Rosalynn warned him.


    “I will.


    ” Brian gathered his keys and left.


    After he left, Rosalynn felt a void within.


    She tossed and turned, unable to find sleep.


    After a long while, her phone rang.
