Another Valentine's Day arrived.

Rena felt a little down. As she looked up, she said to Wendy, "Tell everyone to leave work two hours earlier today. Valentine's Day's for everyone."

Wendy beamed.

"Mrs. Fowler, you're so kind! Everyone will be delighted!”

Rena nodded, signaling Wendy to leave.

Once alone, Rena picked up the newspaper and saw Waylen's face on the headlines. The newspaper stated that he had won a lawsuit in Heron.

The illustration depicted him holding a glass of champagne, wearing a smile that exuded cool handsomeness at a celebration party.

In that moment, her phone chimed with a new message from him.

"Rena, | really want to share my joy with you!"

Rena stared at the message for a long moment but chose not to reply.

She was aware of Waylen’s infatuation with her, but it felt too uncertain. He still had Elvira on his heart, which was something Rena couldn't simply overlook.

He claimed her too easily.

Marriage and children could easily be the tools he used to manipulate her, but she refused to be manipulated.

Leaving the office, Rena headed to pick up Alexis.

She decided not to take the bouquet of flowers with her.

Downstairs, there was some commotion in the hall.

A few security guards prevented two girls from entering, but they persistently called out to see Rena.

Wendy whispered, "I'll handle them. You should leave.”

Rena looked at Mavis amidst the commotion.

Likewise, Mavis stared back at her from across the crowd.

After a moment, Rena said softly, "Take her to the reception room.”

Five minutes later, Mavis and her friend, Rita, entered the opulent reception room on the first floor.
