Eloise firmly grasped her hand and placed the card within it.

In a choked voice, Eloise uttered, "I had no other choice before! I am deeply sorry! Rena, you are currently with Waylen. While the Fowler family is affluent, if you solely rely on Waylen's finances, you will be subjected to scorn. Purchase some clothes and shoes for him with your own money. Do not constantly try to save money, or they will look down upon you."

Rena experienced profound sadness.

Eloise continued, “I believe you do not need to seek employment.

Instead, consider renting a place and establishing your own music studio. I have faith in your capabilities! It is best for you to cultivate your own career."

Rena's gaze descended upon the card in her hands.

After a significant period of contemplation, she embraced Eloise tenderly and expressed, “Thank you, Eloise.”

Eloise, wiping away her tears, added, “Do not divulge anything about

Waylen to your father. His health is fragile and he cannot withstand any distress."

Rena nodded solemnly, affirming, "I understand."

As she departed, Rena faintly discerned the sound of Eloise weeping in solitude within the confines of the bedroom.

At six o'clock in the evening, Rena arrived back at the apartment.

Waylen had returned and Jazlyn was swiftly packing on his behalf

Efficiently, Jazlyn completed the task

Positioned by the French window, Waylen engaged in a grave conversation over the phone. It appeared that there were complications regarding the case.

After concluding the call, Waylen directed his gaze towards Rena

“The business trip has been rescheduled. It will commence in approximately a week."

Rena yearned to disclose her plans of opening a music studio to him.

However, the timing seemed evidently inappropriate to broach the subject. Hence, she softly inquired, “What time is your flight?"

“In two hours," he replied.

Rena raised her eyes to meet his gaze.

She surmised that he was genuinely preoccupied, to the extent that he had no time even for the silent treatment.
