Chapter: 171
Smiling, Rena didn't answer and simply said, “I'll run a bath for you."
Then without giving him a chance to respond, she hung up on him.
It suddenly felt hot in the office. Waylen loosened his tie with his slender fingers and took a deep breath.
Without a moment to Lose, he immediately turned off his laptop, grabbed his coat, and then walked out. Jazlyn was surprised to see him leave so early. She thought that he'd spend another night at the office.
Even more surprising was the fact that Waylen seemed to be in high spirits.
He signed a hefty check and handed it to Jazlyn, telling her and the other employees to get off work early and eat a big dinner as a reward for their hard work recently.
When he said those words, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
Jazlyn figured him out immediately. It seemed that her boss was in a hurry to go back home to Rena, which would've explained why he was in such a good mood now. Mr. Fowler seemed to Like this girl a lot! Jazlyn was sure of it. After all, in all her years working for him, she had never seen Waylen bring a woman home.
Waylen was about to start his car when his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from the litigant of the case he newly took.
The man's trembling voice came from the other end of the line, saying,
“Mr. Fowler, the other party suddenly produced a new testimony! I'm at a disadvantage now!"
Waylen's grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.
He frowned and ordered, "Send it to me now!"
Soon after hanging up, he received an email detailing everything.
Indeed, the new testimony was disadvantageous to his Litigant.
Waylen was a man who attached great importance to his career, so without hesitation, he got out of the car and went back to the office to ask everyone to work overtime.
His employees, who were excited to get off work earlier, had no choice but to work overtime.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Waylen remembered that he had promised Rena that he'd come home for the night. She probably cooked dinner for him and even ran a bath for him.
Waylen picked up his phone and wanted to call her, but stopped on second thought. She had probably fallen asleep.
In the end, he decided to text her.
“I'm sorry, but something urgent came up. Tomorrow night, I'll directly go to the Cloude Hotel. See you there."
