Rosalynn retreated to her workstation, distancing herself from the man.
She inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly.
“Rosalynn, you’re back? Did you close the deal?” Maggie inquired, her smile warm.
“Forget it. It fell through.”
After regaining her composure, Rosalynn filled Maggie in on the events that had transpired at the club.
Maggie’s surprise was evident. “So it was a setup? Why would they do that? Do you think Eleanor was

“How ruthless of her. Why would Mr. Hughes be attracted to such a woman?”
Maggie shared Rosalynn’s distaste for Eleanor.
Rosalynn, already in low spirits, had no desire to further discuss the matter.
“Work’s over for the day. Would you like to grab dinner with me?”
Maggie declined, “No, but thanks for the offer. I have a shift at Atera Restaurant.”
At this, Rosalynn was taken aback. “You’re working part-time again?”
“Yes.”
With a smile, Maggie began to gather her belongings, ready to clock out.
