Chapter 30

Alexander was deeply engrossed in conversation with Charlotte, laughing and smiling warmly, when Roselyn's voice cut through the air, its sharp tone slicing through the warmth of the evening.

"I thought you might be finalizing some business deal with some elderly businessman in a sterile meeting room, not indulging in wine and laughter with a beautiful stranger," Roselyn said, her voice laced with sarcasm, hurt, and a hint of betrayal.

Alexander's eyes snapped toward Roselyn, surprise etched on his face, his expression a mixture of guilt and unease. "Roselyn!" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with guilt and embarrassment.

His gaze shifted to Tyler, standing beside Roselyn, and his expression darkened, his brow furrowed in concern.

Charlotte, sensing tension, turned to Roselyn, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Excuse me, who are you, and what exactly is the meaning of this interruption?" She asked, her voice polished but chilly, with a hint of annoyance.
