Rena departed without casting a backward glance.

Paisley, however, desired to spare Rena from drinking anymore and took it upon herself to do so.
The gentleman of elevated status asserted, âMiss Rayne, since Miss Gordon has arrived for business matters, how can she evade the libations? Furthermore, despite Miss Gordonâs delicate appearance, she can really drink!â
He extended a glass of wine towards Rena.
âMiss Gordon, should you partake in this glass of wine, I shall ponder this investment with due diligence.

A gentle smile adorned his face as he said, âIâve come to collect Rena.
My heart went out to her when I witnessed her vomiting in the restroom.

Subsequently, he delicately placed the glass on the surface.
âMr.
Medina, what course of action do you believe is appropriate?â
