Putting away his phone, he was about to resume his work when a soft knock resounded at the door. Assuming it was room service, he went to open it.

To his surprise, it was Ruth standing outside.

Upon learning that Waylen was on a business trip to Hondrau, she had deliberately adjusted her schedule to stay at the same hotel as him.

Dressed in a silk pajama, she exuded a captivating sexual allure.

“Mr. Fowler, the heater in my room is broken. Can I use yours?" she hinted.

Unmoved by her advances, Waylen stood firm at the door.

Even in the dead of night, he remained impeccable.

Clad in a white shirt and black suit pants, he exuded the masculinity of a mature man.

With a nonchalant tone, he mocked, "How much do you charge, Miss Powell? If you don't mind, many of my subordinates are single and in need of companionship."

The humiliation overwhelmed Ruth; she hadn't expected him to be so sharp-tongued.

The last time she saw him, though he appeared indifferent, he treated women with grace and politeness. She had hoped that her current status as an A-List actress would gain his favor.

Yet, his words seemed to imply that she was nothing more than a prostitute.

With trembling Lips, Ruth attempted to explain, “Mr. Fowler, I would never sell my body!”

Waylen asked with disdain, “Really? Then wrap yourself up and don't knock on men's doors in the middle of the night! Furthermore, if word of this gets out, your tiny company won't survive for much Longer."

After delivering that cutting remark, Waylen slammed the door shut.

In the dead of night, Ruth found herself standing there, a chill running down her spine, overwhelmed by the encounter with Waylen.

Waylen's unwavering loyalty to his marriage had surpassed her expectations. She had been convinced that all men would eventually cheat on their wives.

Deaf to his biting remarks, she had overestimated the depth of his emotions towards her.

In a bid to annoy his wife and hype for herself, she had made up her mind to spread gossip about their supposed affair.

Early the next morning, Rena came across a headline from the Hondrau media.

“Breaking News: Late-Night Rendezvous Between The Wealthiest Man of Duefron and A-List Actress”

The illustration showed Ruth standing at the hotel room's door, donned in her alluring pajamas, while Waylen appeared visibly perturbed opposite her.
