The smirk on Jared's face grew wider as he noticed her reaction, looking every bit the villain enjoying his small triumph.
"Miss Murphy, all by yourself tonight? Where are the Sinclair brothers?"
Rosetta met his gaze briefly and then looked away without saying a word.
“Oh, silly me. I almost forgot that Elliot and Edric have a new lover now. What's her name again? Sierra Harris?”
Rosetta shot him a frosty look, her patience wearing thin. She stood, intending to walk away without further interaction.
Jared grabbed her hand before she could take a step and said, "Where are you rushing off to. It's only polite to chat with old friends for a while, don't you think?"
Rosetta yanked at her hand, but the strength difference between them was too great and her attempts to break free were useless.
"Jared, let go of me."
“Well, I'll let go. Call the Sinclair brothers. The moment they ask me to release you, I'll do it."
Rosetta glared at him, but the man casually raised his eyebrows.
She took a deep breath, reluctantly pulled out her phone and dialed Elliot's number. The call was immediately connected, yet no one answered and it eventually disconnected on its own.
