But she hadnât expected that Albert would be attending the banquet as well.
He was typically quite frivolous, but tonight he was dressed formally, exuding an air of an elite, which caught Alineâs attention.
Kyle from Heron had significant business dealings with Zackâs father.
And Rena had a good relationship with Zackâs father, so of course, they knew each other.
Noticing Rena, Kyle greeted her warmly.
âRena, I heard from Brandon that youâre pregnant.
I didnât expect you to attend this banquet.
How have you been? Brandon really misses you!â
Rena replied with a polite smile, âIâve been well.
â
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Kyle turned to Albert and commented, âRena is good at business.
You should learn from her instead of flirting with women all day long.
â
Albert turned his gaze towards her and responded with a casual smile,
âWell, even if I were eager to learn, I doubt whether sheâd be willing to teach me.
â
Rena clearly understood the flirtatious undertones of his words.
She smiled serenely and introduced Aline to Kyle.
âMr.
Waston, this is Miss Hanson, my college classmate.
Sheâs now working in the film and television industry and doing quite well.

Aline wasnât widely known, so Kyle could have overlooked her.
But for Renaâs sake, he extended a hand to Aline.
Rena added quickly, âAnd sheâs Albertâs girlfriend.

Kyle was surprised by Renaâs words.
Aline appeared to be in her early 30s, whereas Albert was only in his 20s.
Slightly displeased, he maintained a polite smile.
Aline felt somewhat anxious.
However, Rena diffused the tension with her smile.
âAlbert is young and has many women.
Aline has endured quite a lot!â
Kyle was relieved to hear this.
It seemed Aline was just one of Albertâs women.
Aline didnât have the chance to present herself, but Renaâs presence reassured her.
Rena acted considerate when talking to Kyle.
