Jacob watched as Rosalynn made her way through the crowd. She didn’t hesitate at all and seemed to have a clear goal in mind.

He followed the direction she was going and looked ahead. At the end of the deck, there was a classical music band.

Jacob nudged his chin in the direction of a man and exclaimed, “Hey, isn’t that Wallace, the CEO of Prodigy Inc.?”

“I’m looking for Mr. Mason.” Rosalynn said.

Rosalynn kept silent.

Perhaps hearing the commotion, Wallace glanced over. Unlike most other men, he didn’t. show any interest or greed when he saw Rosalynn; in fact, he frowned with a hint of disgust.
