He then took out his phone, Looked up a recent news article, and zoomed in on the photo attached to
it. “Explain to me where you got the jewelry from.”
So he had come for this.
Eleanor’s eyes twinkled. She laid her cards on the table without a second’s hesitation.

Eleanor braced herself. She had already played this scene repeatedly in her head, and had prepared
the words she was going to say.
“A fan posted online that you bought a set of limited edition jewelry as a gift for me. I’ve been waiting all

Eleanor blinked at him and didn’t budge from her seat. “May I ask who the real recipient of the jewelry
is?”
Had he given it to Rosalynn?
“It’s none of your business. Leave.”
Brian didn’t even glance up at her again.

Rosalynn.
After all, Brian wasn’t involved in any romantic rumors with other women lately.
She couldn’t think of anyone else besides Rosalynn.
