He stole a glance at his watch, bestowed one final ki*s upon her before departing.
After he left, she contemplated stealing a few more minutes of slumber.
The previous night had stretched on, filled with unfulfilled longing.
Though they hadnât consummated their desires, the intensity of their intimate moments left her blushing, her heart racing.
She couldnât help but wonder what was holding him back.
It was evident that Waylen yearned to explore their physical connection.
Later that afternoon, Vera arranged to meet Rena at a charming cafe.

Examining the invitation with care, Renaâs eyes shimmered with anticipation.

âYouâre remarkably composed when it comes to Harold now.
It seems youâve grown indifferent towards him.

Fowler.

Rena shook her head gently, dispelling Veraâs assumptions.
âIâm just living in the moment with Waylen.
Marriage is not something weâre considering.
â
Before Vera could offer further reassurance, a group of fashionable women emerged from the opposite elevator, catching their attention.
Gritting her teeth, Vera muttered under her breath, âWhat a small world!â
Renaâs head snapped up upon hearing Veraâs words.
Her eyes locked with Aline, who was engrossed in a conversation with several affluent ladies.
These women happened to be the parents of Renaâs former piano students, who had turned their backs on her after her reputation was tarnished.
Aline had cunningly taken over as their new teacher.
