Was she crying?
Quietly, Waylen stood on the stairs, gazing at her.
Earlier that night, he had suspected that she still had unresolved feelings for Harold, but now, he convinced himself that the person she truly loved was always this âWaylen Fowlerâ from the past.
Jealousy and discomfort churned inside him.
He couldnât take his eyes off her, for she was so mesmerizing when she played the piano.
Outside the French window, the starry sky paled in comparison to her.
The cold war between Rena and Waylen persisted.
Both of them were busy and also unwilling to compromise.
In February, as the weather warmed, Rena found herself in the CEOâs office on the top floor of Exceed Group.
She worked quietly when Wendy entered with a bouquet of flowers, greeting her with a smile.
âMrs.
Fowler, your flowers have arrived.
â
Without looking up, Rena instructed, âFind a trash can and throw them away.
â
Wendy cleared his throat to hide her embarrassment.
âWeâve already disposed of Mr.
Mooreâs flowers.
These are a gift from Mr.
Fowler.

Rena looked up and said, âGive them to me!â
Wendy placed the bouquet on the desk.
Rena gazed quietly at the bunch of champagne roses and extracted the card, which carried only a brief sentence, âMrs.
Fowler, Happy Valentineâs Day!â
Valentineâs Dayâ¦
Another Valentineâs Day arrived.
Rena felt a little down.
As she looked up, she said to Wendy, âTell everyone to leave work two hours earlier today.
Valentineâs Dayâs for everyone.
â
Wendy beamed.
âMrs.
Fowler, youâre so kind! Everyone will be delighted!â
Rena nodded, signaling Wendy to leave.
Once alone, Rena picked up the newspaper and saw Waylenâs face on the headlines.
The newspaper stated that he had won a lawsuit in Heron.
The illustration depicted him holding a glass of champagne, wearing a smile that exuded cool handsomeness at a celebration party.
