“Vera! I'm sorry!" said Rena as she hurriedly answered the call.

Vera pretended to grumble, “What were you doing? I've been trying to reach you forever!

Come on out, let's have a drink!"

Seeing it as a perfect chance to give Vera the promised half-a-year bonus, Rena agreed to meet up.

Half an hour later, Rena arrived at a well-known bar in town with a stunning ambiance.

Vera had reserved a cozy private space with an unbeatable view, allowing them to soak in the beauty of half of Duefron's night.

Rena handed over the check to Vera.

Vera was taken aback by the amount, far beyond her expectations.

“Zack is quite competent!" she exclaimed.

Taking a sip of her cocktail, Rena smiled faintly and revealed, “Actually, Danna is in charge now. Zack occasionally offers her advice."

The mention of Zack brought a sense of pity to Vera.

Curious, she inquired about a certain star named George and praised him, "He's exceptional. I've investigated; his private life and family background are immaculate. Have you thought about dating him?"

Playing with her glass, Rena shook her head.

Her gaze fixated on the bustling street through the French window, the neon lights casting a gentle glow, and her eyes welled up with emotion.

Vera had a hunch about whom Rena had on her mind and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Whom did Rena like?

It could only be Waylen.

To alleviate the tension in the air, Vera playfully complained, "Ever since you took over the Exceed Group, it's getting harder to see you. I've called you ten times, and you only showed up once!”

With a warm smile, Rena responded, "I've been occupied with looking after Alexis and Marcus."

Curious, Vera inquired further, "I thought you'll be heading south tomorrow. What about the two kids?"

"Ill send them to their grandparents for a week," Rena reassured her.

As the sun rose, Rena sent the two kids to the Fowler house.
