Gazing intently into Rena's eyes, Waylen noticed her hands tugging at the hem of his shirt. His heartbeat quickened in response.

He retreated slightly and sat on the bed's edge, pulling Rena closer and pressed his lips to hers.

Words became unnecessary as their connection deepened.

Suddenly, their room was filled with gasps and moans as they shared a passionate exchange.

When the moment had passed, Rena nestled into Waylen's embrace, her head resting against his shoulder.

Collecting her thoughts, she revisited a topic from earlier.

"You seemed different today."

He teased, "Different how? I feel the same as always. Want a second round to be sure?"

She playfully silenced him with a finger to his lips.

With a more serious undertone, she murmured, “Did you secure another significant business achievement today?"

Matching her quiet tone, Waylen offered a smile and leaned in to kiss her.

Rena, without any hesitation, met him halfway, the kiss deepening.

When they finally parted, she whispered, "I'm happy about your partnership with my uncle. Just ensure Cecilia remains comfortable with the situation."

Wrapping Rena tightly in his embrace, Waylen pondered, "I wonder if you're looking out for Cecilia or your uncle."

Rena chuckled and made a feigned attempt to rise, hinting at a bath.

But Waylen's grip on her hand halted her movement.

With a voice full of warmth and mischief, he urged, “Stay with me a little longer."

Rena's resistance melted.

Amidst their renewed intimacy, Waylen whispered playfully, "You always seem to know everything, Mrs. Fowler."

The following day, Waylen headed to Mark's office.
