“Rena! You must strive for your own happiness!" she shouted as she ran.

The hush fell upon the private room, enveloping it in silence.

The men engaged in their merry drinking and card-playing halted their activities abruptly, directing their attention towards Rena.

Elvira assumed a position next to Waylen, exuding an air of authority as though she were the gracious hostess.

Rena found herself in an uncomfortable predicament, caught in the midst of it all.

No one extended an invitation for her to partake in the revelry and amusement.

And she could not be regarded as Waylen's companion, as they were not a couple.

During their previous encounter, Joseph had quarreled with Rena and he had hold grudge against her. Speaking with a malicious tone, he inquired, “What brings you here, Rena? Shall we engage in a game together?"

Rena shifted her gaze towards Waylen.

Waylen, today attired in casual garb, donned a black shirt and trousers, lounging on the sofa while puffing on a cigarette.

Never before had Rena witnessed Waylen in such a debauched state.

Waylen briefly glanced in Rena's direction, seemingly perturbed and unwilling to aid her in her predicament.

Joseph sneered, his pent-up grievances finding an outlet at Last.

At this juncture, an individual interjected, stating, "Alright, let us cease pressuring Rena. Let the games resume." The atmosphere swiftly regained its liveliness...
