Drawing a deep breath, Rena summoned her resolve and swung the door open.
As anticipated, Elvira stood outside, clutching a gift in her hands.
At the sight of the suitcase held by Rena, Elviraâs innocent smile wavered slightly, her expression betraying surprise.
âMiss Gordon, Iâve come to offer my apologies,â she said with genuine remorse.
âThe argument between you and Waylen was my doing.
Iâm truly sorry!
Do⦠Did my presence affect your relationship?â
Elviraâs words pierced Renaâs heart, leaving her feeling queasy.
Determinedly, Rena grabbed her suitcase and headed towards the elevator, leaving behind the echoes of Waylenâs unhappy voice calling out, âRena!â
They had indeed had a heated argument the previous night.
However, today he had forsaken his visit to the law office, deliberately waiting for her at home.
He had offered explanations and even compromised.
Why, then, was she so unyielding?
Rena halted abruptly, her eyes welling up with tears.
In these recent days, her affection for Waylen had bloomed intensely, yet he regarded her merely as a passing fancy.

Turning on her heels, Rena faced the situation head-on.

Now, whether itâs the Morning Dew piano, the white dress or this man⦠they are all yours.
Are you content now?â
As the elevator doors slid open, Rena stepped inside and uttered her final words, âI have made room for you two.
Enjoy each otherâs company.

Waylenâs face darkened as he stared at the closed elevator doors.
Elvira took a step forward, her voice gentle and alluring as she inquired,
âDid the two of you have a quarrel?â

With a touch of hostility, Waylen retorted, âWhat are you doing here again?â
Elvira raised the gift box in her hand and replied, âIâve come to apologize to Miss Gordon.
â
âNo need!â
Waylen muttered, lowering his head to light a cigarette.
He took a leisurely drag, his tone laced with a hint of indifference as he addressed Elvira, âI told you last night not to bother me anymore.
If youâre taking it so hard, perhaps itâs time for you to seek professional help.
â
A pallor washed over Elviraâs face, a testament to the impact of his callous words.
