When Troy glanced up, he noticed Imogen standing at the door.

She was silhouetted against the light, making it hard to see her face clearly, but he sensed her gaze fixed on him.

“Cedric and I bumped into each other in the hallway, so I thought I’d say hi to everyone,” Imogen said, smiling as she looked around the room.

Troy inquired, “Are you here with your friends for dinner?”

“Yes.”

Riley smiled at Imogen and asked, “What have you been up to lately?”

“Working on a project for McKesson.”

Riley was taken aback when he realized the significance of what she just said

But to others, it seemed like an innocuous remark as someone pointed at Sarah and asked, “Isn’t she the spokesperson for McKesson?”

Imogen walked over to the table and playfully poured herself a cup of tea into an empty wine glass. “Today, I’ll offer you tea instead of wine since we ran into each other,” she said, smiling. “I’ll treat you to dinner some other time. As your older brother, I raise my glass to you.”

She emphasized “older brother” clearly.

Since their marriage, Imogen rarely called him “older brother” anymore; instead, she used “Troy,” a sign of their closeness.

Imogen took a sip of tea from the glass.

“Thank you,” she said.

Imogen placed the wine glass down and added, “I have some other matters to attend to, so excuse

me.”

Cedric interjected, “Imogen, you can’t leave without toasting your sister–in–law.”

Riley inwardly cursed Cedric for making such a foolish suggestion, but before he could intervene, some guys at the table playfully flirted with Imogen. “Come on. Imogen, your older brother acknowledges her as your sister–in–law; give her a toast!” one of them said. “Are you being rude to her?”

“Do you still work together? Have a drink!” another said.
