Harold couldnât resist the urge to tenderly caress the steering wheel as if it were Renaâs supple cheek.
Rena returned to her apartment after leaving the hotel.
When she stepped out of the cab, she was caught in a sudden downpour.
Once back in the comfort of her apartment, she indulged in a hot bath, took vitamin C to boost her well-being and, finally, began to feel revitalized.
Night had fallen and yet she still had work to attend to.
Weary, she sank onto the sofa and switched on her laptop to tackle the dayâs financial report.
The act of working helped her momentanily forget her worries.
But as she lay in bed later, she couldnât help but let her thoughts drift towards Waylen again.
She reminisced about how kind he had been to her in the past and the events that transpired that evening.
In an attempt to suppress her thoughts, she buried her face beneath a pillow, determined not to dwell on him anymore.
Over the next two days, they maintained no contact.
However, she chanced upon news articles about him in the newspaper.
He had emerged victorious in an international lawsuit and radiated an air of vigor.
Countless cameras were trained upon him and even several female reporters regarded him with admiration.
Yet, his handsome face betrayed no trace of expression.
The headline was sensational.

Rena held a glass of water, freezing in the moment.

She tenderly grazed her finger over his photograph in the newspaper.
Never had she seen Waylen so serious.
While she had witnessed him in moments of discontent before, those had always seemed commonplace and he displayed a thick skin in everyday life.
But now, seeing Waylen standing resolutely in court, adorned in formal attire, she couldnât help but find him incredibly captivating!
She recalled Waylenâs previous words, âI believe itâs more accurate to say that youâre taking advantage of me, rather than the other way around.
â
As Rena gazed at the photograph, she found herself in agreement with Waylenâs sentiments.
She despised her own lack of resilience, berating herself inwardly!
âWhat has captured your attention?â
Paisley approached, stealing a glimpse before flashing a meaningful smile.
âHe is absolutely incredible, Rena⦠Is he equally remarkable in bed?â
