While waiting for the kettle to boil, she focused on reviewing the contents of todayâs meeting.
From behind, her slim waist was embraced.
Familiar fragrance enveloped her senses.
She didnât resist but whispered softly, âStop it.
Iâll make you some tea to sober up.
Roscoe mentioned that you have a court trial tomorrow morning.
It wasnât wise to drink so excessively.
â
Waylen chuckled softly.
He ki*sed the back of her ear and nibbled at her tender skinâ¦
Rena was highly sensitive in that area.
The gentle nibble caused a slight tremor to ripple through her.
Lately, he had developed a penchant for such actions.
It seemed that only by teasing her could he elicit even the slightest response from her.
After teasing her for a prolonged period, he whispered in her ear, his breath a gentle caress.
âRena, letâs spend the weekend together.
Itâll be a date.

A date?
Rena found herself visibly stunned.
The recent demands of her work had engulfed her so completely that she had nearly forgotten everything else.
Moreover, it was indeed her intention to give Waylen the cold shoulderâ¦.

Releasing his grip on Rena, he found support against the kitchen counter.

Rena extended the cup of tea to him and said, âThis is Mr.
Carsonâs undertaking.
It holds great promise.
â
Unable to resist, Waylen inquired, âIs it a token of gratitude for caring for his child?â
Rena perceived his words as unpleasing, despite their truthful nature.
Seated at the table, Waylen intermittently sipped from the sober-up tea and posed the question, âWill Zack accompany you?â
Waylenâs discontent was apparent to Rena.
In truth, she wasnât obligated to explain anything, but she surmised that her silence might dissuade him from letting the matter go tonight.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, she casually responded, I obtained this project through Zackâs connections.
Without him, I cannot be accountable to Mr.
Carson.
So yes, I am bringing him.
Besides, itâs not just the two of us; the team consists of six individuals.
â
Waylen remained silent.
By agreeing to her business trip, he conveyed his consent.
