The sleek vehicle came to a halt right outside Renaâs elegant apartment.
Expressing his desire, Zack stated, âI am utterly fatigued and yearn for a peaceful slumber within your sanctuary.
â
However, Rena promptly declined, her response brimming with wittiness.
She lightly retorted, âIf you find my motherâs residence unsuitable for your rest, perhaps the streets would serve you better as a bed.
â
Zackâs frustration intensified to the point that he clenched his teeth in anger.
Venting further, he added, âIn that case, you must grant me a share of that colossal sum of 20 million dollars.
Donât try to keep it all for yourself.
â
After pausing to ponder, Rena cogitated for a moment before disclosing, âMr.
Carson bestowed upon me the generous sum of 20 million dollars solely to guide you.

Consequently, she harbored no intention of parting with a single penny from that extravagant fortune.
A mocking sneer escaped Zackâs lips as he abruptly exited the vehicle.
Gazing intently at Rena, he uttered, âYou⦠Youâ¦â
Unperturbed, Rena disregarded his presence and walked towards the elevator Zack still harbored an inclination to berate her but, upon witnessing her resolute departure, he found himself inexplicably silenced.
A tinge of melancholy veiled her countenanceâ¦
Huh!

Returning to the vehicle, Zack hopped in, initially intending to seek amusement.
However, tonight his mind remained consumed by the haunting image of that sorrowful woman.
Damn it!

She cast a gloomy shadow on his spirits.
He couldnât summon the slightest interest in venturing out for leisureâ¦
As Rena reentered her apartment, Snowball, her loyal companion, bounded toward her, having missed her presence throughout the entire day.
Rena took Snowball downstairs for a leisurely stroll.
After approximately thirty located a bench, settled upon it and dialed Veraâs number.
An underlying uneasiness lingered within her, refusing to dissipate.
After a considerable delay, Vera finally answered the phone, her voice tinged with hoarseness, as if she had shed tears.
In a gentle tone, Rena uttered, âAllow me to be your companion during these difficult days.
â
Shaking her head, Vera replied, âIâll be fine.
Attend to your own affairs.
Starting a business is no easy task.
You work diligently.
Donât concern yourself with my trivial matters.
Some of the money I invested in your music studio is intended for my retirement.
