Roderick Medina, typically brimming with arrogance, now found himself unable to utter a word and no one dared to aid him.
Waylenâs disposition soured, dissuading anyone from incurring his displeasure.
After an extended silence, Rena reached for the glass of wine and swiftly consumed its contents in one gulp.
Upon finishing, she bestowed a smile upon Roderick and uttered, âMr.
Medina, let us become friends.
â
Roderick stood flabbergasted.
Then his eyes reddened.
No matter what he did minutes ago, he would have risked offending Waylen.
He never expected Rena to come to his aid.
Promptly, he rose to his feet and poured himself wine.
He proceeded to down three consecutive glasses.
Turning to Paisley, he declared, âMiss Gordon is a remarkable partner.
I shall definitely invest in your studio.
â
Paisley felt joyous but remained apprehensive for Renaâs well-being!
Evidently, Rena disregarded Waylen completely.
Roderick imbibed three glasses of wine, and she, too, consumed three.
In her intoxicated state, Rena surmised that she simply didnât want to face Waylen while she was still sober.
She shielded her eyes, taking her place within the car.
Her heart throbbed with pain.
Why did he appear before her once more?
While lost in a daze, she sensed someone settling beside her.
It was Waylen.
She tilted her head and softly inquired, âWhy did Paisley bring me to your car? Waylen⦠Please refrain from appearing in my presence any longer.
Merely seeing you fills me with sorrowâ¦â
Under the influence of alcohol, Renaâs inhibitions faded away.

âUpon witnessing that affectionate gaze of yours, thoughts of the moment you embraced Elvira flooded my mind.
It was truly repulsiveâ¦â
She gently closed her eyes.
She lacked the strength to flee, trapped in her own predicament.
Observing her pallid countenance, Waylen felt a pang of remorse.
She had embarrassed him by indulging in drinks with Roderick earlier.
Suppressing his anger, Waylen brushed her long tresses away from her forehead, his voice a whisper, âRena, I never did anything with her.
Give me another chance⦠Werenât we happy together in the past?â
