He was dining with a mature and elegant woman-someone Rena had seen before. It was the same woman who had shared a meal with Waylen at the piano restaurant Rena once worked in.

Their relationship...

Rena couldn't help but Let her thoughts run wild.

Waylen had informed her about working late, yet here he was, having dinner with another woman.

True, there were documents neatly arranged on the table, suggesting business matters.

At that moment, Waylen held a glass of brandy, sporting a charming smile that exuded contentment.

The woman appeared equally delighted.

In a gentle and alluring voice, she said, “Waylen, I'm looking forward to our next collaboration."

Waylen brow furrowed slightly.

The woman happened to be the widow of a wealthy merchant who had left behind billions in assets. Waylen had assisted her with a legal dispute, but their relationship was not strong enough for her to address him so intimately

Just as he was about to say something, he caught sight of Rena.

Sitting beside her was a little girl whom he recognized as Hyatt's youngest daughter.

Had Rena attended the concert with Danna?

Perhaps due to his absent-mindedness, the woman called out to him once more, “Waylen?"

Waylen nodded in a reserved manner and replied, “Please excuse me for a moment!"

He rose from his seat and approached Rena. Taking a seat beside her, he whispered, “Why are you here for dinner?"

Rena leafed through the menu and responded softly, "I don't feel Like having fried chicken today. I want something else.”

Jealousy stirred within her.

In a low voice, Waylen explained, “That woman is my client.”

She glanced over. The woman was also casting glances at her, clearly viewing her as a love rival.

Rena wasn't oblivious.

Hearing the woman address him as Waylen, she deduced that their relationship went beyond a professional connection-something that had been silently acknowledged. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen this kind of place to discuss business.
