"Balance is key, and you seem to have forgotten that," Rose retorted.
"If balance is so important, then why bother with strength at all? Maybe it's better to just let things take their natural course," Rosalynn shot back, her voice heavy with sarcasm.
"You really don't love Wayne, do you? You'd rather be on top than be together with him," Rose snapped, her words laced with venom.
"Don't be ridiculous," Rosalynn retorted without missing a beat. "No matter how strong I get, Wayne will always be my equal. Don't you dare compare him to those nobodies." She paused, a smirk playing on her lips. "When Wayne gets back, feel free to repeat your little speech in front of him. I'd love to see his reaction."
Rose's fists clenched at her sides.
Rosalynn turned her attention back to her desk and pressed the intercom button. "Send Sean back in, we're not done here."d2
In a moment, Sean opened the door to the office. Rose stood rigid, her posture betraying her tension.
"You'll regret this!" she spat out spitefully before storming out of the office, her heels clicking angrily against the floor.
"Ms. Tesdal..." Sean began cautiously, his gaze fixed on Rosalynn.
"Let's continue," Rosalynn dismissed the interruption with a wave of her hand, clearly done with Rose's drama. She and Sean had more pressing matters to discuss. But the little details in Rose's outburst had caught Rosalynn's attention.
She knew that when Ayden and Betsy passed away, Betsy's sister was just a teenager, and she later became a single mother and was helped by Natalie. Not long after, she passed away. The specifics of her death were unclear to Rosalynn.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The things Rose had said... Perhaps they were beliefs inherited from her mother. Rosalynn had a sharp intuition that there was more to the story.
As Sean continued his report, Rosalynn took a moment to send someone to dig into the nearly invisible existence of Betsy's sister.
Meanwhile, Rose left the executive suite fuming and made her way back to her own office.
She had always felt out of place on this floor, never quite fitting in with her coworkers.
When she had stepped out of the elevator earlier, a group had been chatting away. But at the sight of her, they had fallen silent and scattered. Rose felt upset. Things weren't like this when she was by Penn's side. So, was this Rosalynn's doing?
