âWaylen, if she slipped down at the foot of the mountain this time, she might jump off a building next time.
If you donât answer her calls, sheâll find another way to reach you.
Then youâll go back to her again, saying itâs a life after all,â Rena said with a faint smile.
âIf she succeeds once, sheâll go on and use this trick every time.
â
Rena didnât want to say anything more.
She stood up and returned to the bedroom to immerse herself in a captivating book.
At noon, she skipped lunch with Waylen.

In the afternoon, Rena retreated to the basement home gym for a yoga session, pushing her body to the limit, drenched in sweat.
Waylen stood at the door, holding her phone.
âYou have a phone call.
â
Rena, stretching her legs, walked over to him and thanked him for the message.
It was Vera who called Rena.
Vera had heard some intriguing gossip from unknown sources and invited her friend for a small gathering.
Rena was feeling a bit lethargic.
Vera leaned on Roscoeâs shoulder, gently caressed his prominent nose, and inquired, âJust some old friends.
Youâre the most well-off among us right now, with a couple hundred billion dollars, a son, and a daughter⦠Just come along.
Thereâs even a mysterious special guest.
â
Rena was amused.
âWho is it? Whoâs so important?â ©
Vera playfully refused to divulge any details.
Rena wiped her sweat with a towel and said, âAlright, Iâll come.
Is it the same club as before?â
Vera affirmed with wit, adding in a hushed tone, âDress up nicely.
Itâs going to be worth it.
â
Rena couldnât help but laugh.

After so many years, Rena cherished having a friend like Vera by her side.
Ending the call with a cheerful mood, Renaâs expression changed when she noticed Waylenâs darkened face.
Though he couldnât hear the conversation clearly, he understood that it was a social event.
Leaning against the treadmill, he said unhappily, âYou werenât free to attend the concert with me, but now Vera asks you to have fun, and youâre available? Iâm going with you.
â
Continuing her running, Rena replied lightly, âVera didnât invite you.
â
âYou can take me there.
