“Oh, I'm just so old and useless. I tried to work for a while, but my arm gave out.”

Hearing this, Rena froze.

She immediately checked Eloise's palms.

Sure enough, there were several blisters on Eloise's originally supple palms.

At a loss for words, Rena stared at her blistered palms blankly.

After a long time, tears started to roll down her cheeks. She wiped them hurriedly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hold back her tears. She applied medicine on Eloise's blistered palms and then went back to her room to get ten thousand dollars.

Without hesitation, she handed the cash to Eloise and asked her not to work anymore.

That night, Rena cried herself to sleep.

When she got up the following morning, there were dark circles under her eyes. No amount of concealer could cover how tired she looked.

Over breakfast, Eloise told her, "If you're burnt out, just quit one of your jobs. I can always sell that small apartment in the suburb and we'll have some extra cash."

Rena shook her head firmly.

“Don't worry. I can take good care of myself."

Eloise sighed and didn't say anything more.

After eating, Rena grabbed her bag and went to work in the music studio.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the studio, a colleague whispered to her, “Rena, a Miss Fowler has been waiting for you! If you don't want to see her, we can tell her that you're on leave."

Rena paused. Before she could say anything, she caught a glimpse of Cecilia waiting in the Lounge.

Rena didn't hate her, but she didn't want to have anything to do with her either. So she told her colleague to tell Cecilia that she was on leave today.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Cecilia had seen her.

Cecilia came over and said with a sad smile, “Rena, I just wanted to know why you don't want to perform at my birthday party. Do you... Do you dislike me?"

As soon as she asked this, the whole studio seemed to fall deathly silent.

Rena's colleagues all knew that she used to date Harold.

But here Harold's fiancee was, trying to get Rena to like her. It was too cruel to watch!
