A reassuring pat on her back, his voice gentle as he said, âI wonât continue.
â
Renaâs heart brimmed with a sense of injustice.
In an unexpected turn, she came to the realization that she had initiated the embrace herself.
Shame mingled with anger, prompting her to retort, âThen clarify our romantic involvement.
â
A soft chuckle escaped Waylenâs Lips.
As he stood, his fingers adeptly straightened his shirt with an air of nonchalance.
He exuded an aura of refined arrogance, a polished exterior concealing a darker nature.
Returning to his desk, he dialed an internal number.
âJazlyn, handle the online matters.
Rena seems upset.
â
Rena was taken aback.
What did he mean by her being upset?
It was far too vague.
Waylen concluded the call, his demeanor elegant as he inquired.
âIs everything satisfactory now?â
Summoning her courage, Rena said, âYou⦠Just now⦠Promise me you wonât reveal what transpired between us just now.
â
Waylenâs gaze fell as he ignited a cigarette.
His eyes, however, remained fixed on her, a hint of disdain touching his features.
âAre you worried that Harold will grow angry and abandon you?â
Renaâs lips tightened.
Suddenly, Waylen extinguished his cigarette and adopted a gentler tone.
âRena, in a genuine love, thereâs a balance of giving and taking.
If Harold truly cares for you, why does he hold back and leave you hanging? Are you certain that this fleeting affection amounts to love?â Love demanded reciprocity.

Renaâs eyes welled with tears.
Waylenâs concern for her was evident as he continued, âItâs wiser to seek someone who genuinely appreciates you than to cling to a hopeless relationship.
â
Someone who truly cared for her?
Rena regarded Waylen warilyâ¦
Yet, Waylen met her gaze unwaveringly.
He possessed a striking handsomeness and an air of refinement that left Rena feeling inadequate.
She quickly averted her eyes, whispering, âIâm leaving.
â
Before she could reach the door, Waylenâs hand closed around the handle.
His towering figure cast a shadow over the young woman as he spoke with tenderness.
âYou endured silently, even when you were bullied.
Your heart is so tender.
How can you continue with the relentless Harold?â Time was running out for the Moore Group.
