Chapter: 148
Instead, it was Claribel who graced her presence in the morning.
“Mr. Fowler is perpetually engrossed in his responsibilities. Miss
Gordon, refrain from harboring excessive concerns," Claribel offered in a consoling tone.
Rena nodded, acknowledging Claribel's words, her worries momentarily assuaged.
Given Waylen's absence the previous night, Rena found herself unable to find solace within the confines of their shared abode. After careful contemplation, she implored Claribel to prepare an ample breakfast, fueled by her desire to deliver it to Waylen.
Claribel's face Lit up with delight as she witnessed the thriving bond between Rena and Waylen. Seizing the opportunity, she prepared an elaborate breakfast to further contribute to their happiness.
Rena retreated to her room, intending to collect Waylen's garments and deliver them to the law office along with the breakfast. All of a sudden, a blush crept up her cheeks as an inexplicable embarrassment washed over her while she contemplated taking the clothes she had recently purchased for him. Instead, she selected a set of his usual attire, carefully packing them into a bag.
Hailing a taxi, she headed towards the Sterling Law Firm.
Reluctant to disturb Waylen, Rena called Jazlyn upon her arrival, explaining her purpose for visiting.
Jazlyn, already present in Waylen's office, discreetly covered her phone and informed her boss, "Miss Gordon has arrived. She brought breakfast and a set of clothes for you. She mentioned leaving them at the front desk for convenience."
Waylen, engrossed in perusing a document, raised his head upon hearing
Jazlyn's statement.
He fixed his gaze on her for a moment before calmly instructing,
“Please fetch them."
Jazlyn blushed under his penetrating gaze, momentarily swayed by his charm.
If her circumstances were different, she might have found herself attracted to him.
Yet, she couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't acknowledged Rena's presence.
Waylen continued reading the document, seemingly aware of Jazlyn's thoughts. He said in a nonchalant tone, “I see her every day. There's no need to be overly attached."
Silently acknowledging his words, Jazlyn proceeded downstairs promptly.
Just before Rena departed, Jazlyn received the breakfast and clothes, even extending an invitation for Rena to join her upstairs.
Rena graciously declined, stating, "No, thank you. I have to visit the hospital later."
Engaged in light conversation for a few moments, Rena bid Jazlyn farewell and departed.
