Her demeanor was far from malicious as it had been that night.
Rena couldnât afford to be careless around Elvira.
She invited her inside and walked to the study door, addressing Waylen,

Elviraâs unexpected presence at their doorstep left Waylen slightly taken aback.
âElvira?â he exclaimed, his eyes fixed on Rena for confirmation.
Rena nodded, her expression composed despite the turmoil within her.
She could sense Waylenâs intense scrutiny, as if he were searching for something in her features.

Everywhere.
As Rena returned to the living room, her eyes locked with Elviraâs.
With a calm demeanor, Rena said, âHeâs waiting for you in the study.
â
A meaningful smile played on Elviraâs lips.
Then, she held up her file bag,
âI have an economic case I need Waylenâs help with.
Do you mind?â
Rena responded gracefully, her relief evident that she was not Waylenâs wife.
