Moreover, while Mark has his flaws, heâs never been involved with someone elseâs kept woman before.
â
Fully mortified, Elaine was at a loss for words.
At that moment, the echoing sound of footsteps in leather shoes filled the hallway.
Mark stepped into Ceciliaâs line of sight.
Bathed in the light from the clubâs crystal chandelier, his face gained a noble air.
He halted two meters from Cecilia and proposed, âLetâs go home.
â
Cecilia, not wanting any drama with Elaine, moved towards him naturally.
Mark, placing his hand on Ceciliaâs shoulder, gently inquired, âDid you have anything to drink?â
âJust a glass of red wine.
I wanted to enjoy it myself.

With a smile, Mark and Cecilia left the club together.
He seemed utterly oblivious to Elaine, not even sparing her a single glance.
Elaine, frustrated and agitated, clenched her fists until her nails bit into her skin.

Rena had come to meet Amelia and, by chance, ended up leaving behind Cecilia.
Elaine recognized Rena.

Despite being retired, Rena had considerable clout and could lift many aspiring stars.
Moreover, she was Markâs niece.
Elaine, thinking Rena might be an ally, cautiously approached.
âAre you Mrs.
Fowler?â
Rena, familiar with Elaine since Peter had recently spoken of her, paused and assessed her.
After a moment, Rena acknowledged with a smile, âYes.
Whatâs on your mind?â
Elaine, skilled in flattery from her time serving Chandler, launched into her spiel while Rena listened passively.
Eventually, Elaine cautiously broached the subject of Mark.
Nervously biting her lip, she confessed, âMrs.
Fowler, I have deep feelings for Mr.
Evans.
Iâm considering pursuing him and would like your perspective.
â
Rena, with a polite but distant smile, responded, âI canât dictate my uncleâs choices.
But I doubt my grandmother would welcome anyone but Cecilia into the Evans family.
Perhaps, Miss Shaw, you should consider other prospects.
