Zack was young, only 23 years old, two years younger than Rena.
She understood that his intentions werenât entirely pure when he came to work for her, but she never considered him a bad person.
On the contrary, he had been caring towards Eloise and, though sharp-tongued, he had never targeted the girls at the music studio.
Rena truly regarded him as a young brother.
In.
fact there was few people like him in her life.
Having expressed her expectations, Rena opened the car door and got inside.
Learning back against the seat, she whispered softly, âTake me back to the apartment.
Iâm not feeling well.
â
Zack remained stiff for a while before finally entering the car.
Even after he got in, he continued to pester her.
âHey, did you sleep with him or notâ
âyes.
â Rena responded, assuming he would stop talking after her confirmation.
Indeed, Zackâs young ego had been bruised by the silence that followed.
He remained quiet, driving Rena back to her apartment.
Once they arrived, Rena remained in the car and instructed him, âThereâs a pharmacy up ahead.
Go and buy a box of antipyretics.
â
Zackâs mood soured, causing him to make a sarcastic remark.
âWhat? He tires you out, yet he canât even buy you a box of medicine? Whatâs the appeal of being with him?â
Rena, feeling unwell, refrained from engaging in an argument.
At that moment, Zackâs words slipped out unintentionally, betraying his true emotions.
Rena, however, dismissed them and allowed him to vent his frustrations.

After his complaints, Zack hastily left the car to purchase the antipyretics.
Once he returned, he opened the back door, expecting Rena to step out.
To his surprise, she was fast asleep.
Leaning against the plush leather seat, she slumbered peacefully.
Her long brown hair cascaded over one side of her face, revealing the allure of her delicate features.
Zackâs heart raced as he beheld her.
Feeling at a loss, it was the first time Zack experienced such conflicting emotions.
Initially, his intention had been to get on Waylenâs nerves by hooking up with Rena, but now he just couldnât tear his gaze away from her.
It was the first time that he felt this way towards a woman.
Overwhelmed, he opted to flee the scene.
He tossed the antipyretics into the car and forcefully closed the door before hurrying away.
Rena awoke, and as she witnessed Zack running away, she was left speechless.
She took the medicine and made her way back to her apartment.
