Rena contemplated the proposition carefully

If she partnered with Paisley to establish the music studio, they could expand its scope and Paisley possessed a keen business acumen in managing such an establishment.

In the end, Rena agreed

Ultimately, they reached an accord whereby Rena would invest 2 million and secure a 30% stake in the venture.

Rena felt immense joy at being granted this opportunity.

After their Lunch, Rena dialed Eloise's number.

Upon Learning that Rena had partnered with Paisley to open the music studio, Eloise couldn't help but exclaim, "She's dependable! She truly is."

A moment of silence followed her words.

Rena understood the thoughts crossing Eloise's mind. Softly, she uttered, "Eloise, I'm fine. Waylen treats me well. Besides, he's young and handsome. What more can I expect?"

Eloise found amusement in Rena's response.

After a brief hesitation, she spoke up again softly.

"Did he take precautions? Rena, I worry that you might get hurt."

Rena blushed at the implication.

She comprehended Eloise's concern and offered a vague reply, “Don't worry. Waylen is always cautious."

Eloise blushed as well and found herself too uncomfortable to delve further into the topic.

Rena swiftly changed the subject.

She informed Eloise of her intention to purchase a car and Eloise concurred, "Since you're embarking on your own career, having a car is essential. It will allow you to drive to your business meetings with confidence!"

Eloise advised Rena to utilize the card she had been given to purchase a car, cautioning her against using Waylen's funds for such an extravagant purchase.

Rena felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

Softly, she reassured, “I understand. Don't worry, Eloise."
